So… I’ve just finished
watched a show where giant robots were fighting off an alien invasion. Voltron:
Legendary Defender the new Netflix Dreamworks series that tries to be Avatar:
The Last Airbender in Space. I’ll save my thoughts on the show for another
review but what am I watching today.
A movie where giant robots
are fighting off an alien invasion. I was going to reference how both of these
shows seem to have a very Power Rangers feel to them but then I found that
Voltron actually pre-dates Power Rangers. But then Super Sentai, the Japanese
show that Power Rangers uses stock footage from predates GoLion which Voltron
used stock footage from so… I’m going off topic here.
Pacific Rim was released in
2013 making $411m off it’s $190m budget being successful enough for a sequel to
be on its way, it’s been in development hell for some time. It’s received
reasonable reviews with a 64 on MetaCritic and 71% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Well, this seems good, let’s
take a look.
