Pacific Rim: Uprising is set ten years after the events of Pacific Rim(2013). Jake Pentecost(John Boyega) is the son of Stacker Pentecost. Jake has to save the world, with a bunch of new recruits & his partner Nate Lambert(Scott Eastwood), from a new Kaiju threat.
Pacific Rim: Uprising is a good film that, could have been so much better. Director Steven S. DeKnight doesn't successfully take over directorial duties from Oscar-winning filmmaker, Guillermo del Toro. Some of the dialogues in the movie, are cringe-worthy & unintentionally funny. The visual effects are good. The action set pieces are the highlight of the film. The 3D is effective. The performances suffer, due to the poor script. John Boyega is great as Jake Pentecost. Scott Eastwood is superb as Nate Lambert. Cailee Spaeny is spectacular as Amara Namani. Newcomer Spaeny outshines all her co-stars. Burn Gorman is great as Dr. Herman Gottlieb. Charlie Day is hilarious as Dr. Newton Geiszler. Tian Jing is brilliant as Liwen Shao. Jin Zhang is effective as Marshal Quan. Adria Arjona & Rinko Kikuchi are awesome as Jules Reyes & Mako Mori, respectively. Karan Brar, Wesley Wong, Ivanna Sakhno, Mackenyu, Lily Ji, Shyrley Rodriguez, Rahart Adams & Levi Meaden are impressive as, Cadet Suresh, Cadet Jinhai, Cadet Viktoria, Cadet Ryoichi, Cadet Meilin, Cadet Renata, Cadet Tahima & Cadet Ilya, respectively. Pacific Rim: Uprising is not a must watch. However, watch it if you're a massive fan of Pacif Rim(2013). Just keep your expectations incredibly low.
