Story/Plot:
This sequel offers a story with a far more
complex plotline. The plot twist is unexpected and believable. The return and use Kaiju is quite clever if I might say.
Casting: Before mentioning the elephant in the room, I also have to mention the acting of Charlie Day and Cailee Spaeny (no need to mention the already acknowledged John Boyega). Their performances are spot on, always fitting well with the character and situation; their roles, in my humble opinion, were the hardest to handle.
The CGI problem: While both the script and casting was done impeccably, the main problem presents itself with the CGI motion and choreography of action scenes. The first movie understands the motion of the fictional machinery it depicts and creates the choreography accordingly, for example the weight of a moving robot which is the size of a building and how would such a robot move around (I assure you that not easily or lightly). Pacific Rim: Uprising fails to recreate the eye-catching fight scene methods used in the first movie and thus fails to entertain because it lacks the quality which made it successful. Hope if there will be a third movie, the production team will be considerate of our wishes.
