Caught this little film yesterday and I was quite pleased. It's not perfect, but it's not like anything I've seen before. I too won't give anything away.

But I will say this.

Idris Elba... wow, just wow. This man is on his way to becoming a major player in the movies, if he isn't considered that already.

You could say he stole the movie... yes from the Jaegers and Kaiju. But I'm saying Mr. Elba was truly a rock solid, confident, intimidating yet respected character. Amazing performance. I'm betting this man has many sides and nothing he can't do. I hope he continues to pick good roles.

Back to Pacific Rim... I do have one complaint. A lot happens on the screen... up close. Many, many times I could not tell what was going on. The fights while amazing, were difficult to comprehend. The scale of this movie is soooooo huge. I imagine it will be fine on small screen, but do yourself a favor and watch it on the big screen. Pacific Rim is that kind of movie.... great summer fare.
