Although "pacific rim" took away some of its thunder (what maybe a lot of viewers were expecting) it had enough geek out moments. Still this take is much more true to the spirit of the godzilla films then past attempts (esp. Pointing to the dangers/horrors of nuclear power that has so deeply affected the psyche of the japanese people). Indeed this is not so much a loud bang em up film as it is a film that captures the awe of a terrible nature beyond our understanding or control.
