Synopsis: Jake Pentecost, son of Stacker Pentecost, reunites with Mako Mori to lead a new generation of Jaeger pilots, including rival Lambert and 15-year-old hacker Amara, against a new Kaiju threat.
Reaction: Not quite as fun as the first time around, and a fairly unnecessary sequel, but there are some interesting story developments based on what happened the first time around.
Personal Rating: 6/10 |

Random Trivia For This Title: - In a interview with Collider in November 2014, Guillermo del ToroGuillermo del Toro talked about setting the stage for Pacific Rim 2 (2018), stating, "It's a few years after the first one. It's not an immediate follow-up. It is the world having been freed of Kaiju, what happens to the world after -- what happens to the Jaeger technology once the Kaiju are not a threat. It's quite a jump." del Toro did not return to direct Pacific Rim: Uprising (2018). He stepped down as director in order to direct The Shape of Water (2017) instead, which went on to win the Academy Award for Best Picture.
- Despite being the hero of this film's predecessor, Raleigh Becket is only mentioned once in this movie, and his fate remains unknown.
- The kaiju's long-running plan to get to Mt. Fuji is a nod towards the many decades of kaiju-movies that involved monsters attacking Japan again and again, seemingly for no reason.
- When Newton activates the drone subroutine, the screen displays the name of the protocol as CMD LIMA VICTOR 426, as a nod to the movie Aliens, where most of the action takes place on a moon called LV-426.
- James GunnJames Gunn filmed a cameo as a DJ, but it ended up being deleted from the finished movie. Gunn joked on Twitter that the scene was omitted so that his character could be saved for his own spin-off movie.
