The fight against (for instance, there are several instances of insubordination and deviations from military procedure, but they mostly involve serving the greater good). And how many times do you really want to see New York destroyed, for instance? I appreciated the message that both cooperation and individual initiative are prudent and necessary. The United States comprises about 5% of the global population, and it’s nice to see that represented in an American blockbuster.

And movies could use more of that.) I liked that movie (unlike almost all American blockbusters) takes place in several locations, none of which are large American cities. Unlike the technological luddism of, for example, the Terminator movies or Avatar, this movie celebrates human achievement and progress. **It is solely our scientific, technological, and social advancements made possible by an appropriate mix of individual initiative and group cooperation that keep the nightmare at bay.** The movie Pacific Rim acknowledges this. Wolves (prior to their gradual domestication by killing the more violent ones over the centuries), were a particularly large threat in Europe. Also, like the monsters in this movie, any number larger wild animals would kill a human without a second thought. Precambrian humans had an average life expectancy of 31 years. Nature can be subservient to us, but it must never again be our master. Where I live (just outside a city of 1 million), you’d be dead in less than 5 hours without winter clothing, six months a year. You may not be dead, but you'll almost wish you were.
If you doubt me, try surviving alone and without man-made equipment for a week in virtually any natural environment. But make no mistake, nature can be brutal, and it is only human scientific, technological, social, and other developments that can keep the monster at bay. I was raised in a rural area, and I enjoyed camping. The giant robots are man-machine saviours that aid humanity in fighting against grotesque organic monsters. There are literally no scenes without some object of human ingenuity in view. First, what I like the most: I liked abiding theme of science and technology being tools for human salvation. It's the many minor messages within the movie that made it stand out from mindless summer action movie fare (which are fine, on occasion). Mostly, though, I loved how it all came together as a kind of celebration of the value science and technology when coupled with human courage, ingenuity, innovation, self-sacrifice, individualism (when appropriate), and cooperation (when appropriate). I also liked the other messages found throughout. Everything but that (minor detail) was eerily plausible. The battles, despite the one absurdity of giant robots fighting alien invaders had sense of realism that was rather unnerving. Everything but that (minor detail) was eerily Disclaimer: I loved this movie. Together, they stand as mankind's last hope against the mounting apocalypse. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes-a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi)-who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge.
