All seems to be going well when the city is attacked by a rogue Jaeger that throws everything haywire. Jake Pentecost (John Boyega), the son of the legendary Stacker Pentecost (Idris Elba) from the first film and Amara (Cailee Spaeny), a 15-year-old gifted engineer who has built her own Jaeger are recruited by Mako Mori (Rinko Kikuchi) into what is left of the Jaeger pilot program. The Jaeger program is in somewhat of a tatter and there is a company, Shao Industries, that is trying to automate the Jaegers axing out all human interventions in the piloting process. The breach has been sealed and the war with the Kaiju has ended for good.
This film unfolds 10 years ahead in time since the events of the first film. Read the whole review at Rim: Uprising is the follow-up to the Guillermo Del Toro action bonanza that released in 2013. That isn't to say this is a better film than its predecessor-I don't think I'd go that far as del Toro still enlisted a fun enough tone and built an entire world from which Uprising benefits-and Uprising maybe complicates things a little too much with its story whereas that initial film was so cut and dry in that aspect it was almost shocking, but the important thing is that Uprising is a fun if not ultimately forgettable slice of entertainment that plays to its B-movie strengths.

Meaning, while the first Pacific Rim was a little too self-serious given its story and a little more moody than might have been necessary, while more visually detailed to be sure, Uprising plays things a little more straight-forward and is exactly the kind of movie I would have loved when I was seven or eight years-old it's big, it's colorful, and it has robots fighting robots and robots fighting monsters.

Uprising jumps a decade into the future and intends to reboot Pacific Rim the opposite way that Power Rangers movie did the original series last year. Of course, with this kind of sophomore slump effect weighing on the decision of whether or not to even continue the would-be franchise this second installment has come to us not from "visionary" and now Oscar-winning director Guillermo del Toro nor does it star Charlie Hunnam or Idris Elba, but instead is co-written and directed by Netflix's Daredevil season one showrunner Steven DeKnight and enlists the fresh talent of Star Wars-breakout John Boyega as the son of Elba's fallen character from the first film. Pacific Rim: Uprising is a five year-later sequel that no one in particular was necessarily looking for, but is here given the amount of dough that original ended up making in China ($411 million globally on a $190 million budget, $111 of which came from China-almost $10 million more than the film made domestically). This is to say that Uprising is so bombastically cheesy in its reliance on knowing exactly what it is and delivering on exactly what it promises that it's genuinely hard to fault the film for doing what it sells itself to be. This year, with Pacific Rim: Uprising what we have is what that movie might have been had it decided to go another route and play up the more cartoonish aspects of that super hero series.
A year ago on this weekend a reboot of the nineties hit show Power Rangers was released and embraced a more moody and grounded tone than that of its source material.
