I Watch Films: Pacific Rim
(Film watched in 2018 though I have seen it previously)
Pacific Rim is a good film about Giant Robots fighting Giant Monsters. Almost every individual piece - character, plot, design, relationships - is a basic reiteration of things we have seen before, but they are all good pieces and they fit together excellently. This makes it a good film; I'd say that it is the least del Toro film Guillermo del Toro has made, but the artistry and attention to detail are perhaps even more his trademark than surreal moments of wonder and terror.
Watch This: For good characters and lots of robots fighting monsters
Don't Watch This: If you don't want another iteration of giant robots fighting monsters no matter how well put together
In addition: My pitch for the sequel has always been "What if a Jaegar and a Kaiju had a baby?*" This has not been entirely ruled out by this trailer.
* Come on, you know del Toro would be up for that.
