Pacific Rim: Uprising (2018)

It is 2035, ten years after the Battle of the Breach, in which the inter-dimensional portal created by the Precursors (through which they sent marauding Kaiju) was closed. Former Jaeger pilot Jake Pentecost - son of Battle of the Breach hero Stacker Pentecost - makes a living by stealing and selling Jaeger parts on the black market in the Los Angeles area. After he tracks part of a disabled Jaeger's power core to the secret workshop of fifteen year-old Jaeger enthusiast Amara Namani, both are arrested by the Pan-Pacific Defense Corps (PPDC) after an altercation between Amara's small, single-pilot Jaeger Scrapper and the Police Jaeger November Ajax. A holographic transmission of Jake's adoptive sister and PPDC Secretary General Mako Mori persuades him to return to PPDC as an instructor, with Amara as his recruit..

Jake Pentecost: Gottlieb, what does that mean? "In theory"?
Dr. Hermann Gottlieb: Today... it means, "Yes!"

I Knew it Would Blow As Soon As I Saw The Clone From Star Wars...

... and I was correct.

I knew it!! This film was also a sequel. What did I expect? I have learnt my lesson now. No, really.

The illogical story, the terrible amateur hour acting, etc, All screamed SEQUEL. My goodness why are these kids running around in circles all the time? Why is the teenage girl in possession of giant hanger and how is she building a high rise size mech all on her own? When did the Chinese take over the USA? Why does the Chinese woman have so much make-up on?

Ah, just a crappy sequel.
