Pacific Rim is Big and Loud and Flashy

Pacific Rim is a win with smashing, crashing, mecha-tastic, kaiju-arificness.  And a win for joyful secondary eccentric over-the-top characters. As for plot, it gets by.  And the main characters and their development?  Ummm.  Well.  Hey look, something exploded. Basically, this is a Michael Bey movie, if Michael Bey had talent.  Which is a kind of recommendation.
