    I still love what the "everything changed" part is actually referring to. It's part of what makes this film great there's a lot that happens that only makes sense on a second watch.
    The thing that changed is that the Kaiju learnt how to "kill" Jaegers. See before then the Kaiju are fighting the Jaegers as though the Jaeger is alive, attacking its arms legs torso but after Knifehead cripples Gypsy Danger by attacking its head all the Kaiju learnt that the head is the weak spot. In the scene where the Jaeger program is pronounced dead, we see the destroyed jaegers in a few cuts. All of them are damaged heads. Every single one. In fact, not a single jaeger in the film is destroyed by a kaiju without losing its head.
    What's even cooler is that when we see the three active jaegers (minus gypsy) they all have some special difference to standard jaegers which makes going for the head harder. Churno Alpha's head is "hidden" in its chest, with a decoy head on top of its tower. Crimson Typhoon has an extra arm and is piloted by three people and it's extremely agile this coupled with its nonstandard "cyclops" head makes targeting that difficult. Striker Eureka is too fast, and heavily armed, it's so advanced it can go toe to toe with a Cat 5 and win, the kaiju don't have time to go for its head.
    But it keeps getting better. Because we also find out that the wall is being built but soon afterward we see Mutivore breakthrough (in less than an hour), so the Kaiju now know about the wall, and low and behold the next two kaiju to come through the breach are both capable to bypass the wall in less than that time. Leatherback is built like a gorilla it can climb over the wall with ease, Otachi can fly the wall isn't going to stop her. But these kaiju are more than that, they are anathema perfectly designed assassins to target the last three operational jaegers.
    You see when Newt drifts with the kaiju he accidentally reveals the weaknesses and strengths of the three jaegers (but not gypsy), that's why Otachi and Leatherback handled them so easily. There was no way at all for the three jaegers to beat these two kaiju without getting lucky. Otachi has the acid and three limbs; wait three limbs, the exact same number as crimson typhoon, and not just three limbs but an extra precise tail with a head-crushing claw at the end perfect for sniping jaeger con'pods. The acid on the other hand is brought exclusively to fight Cherno Alpha the most heavily armoured jaeger there is. Again that's oddly specific. Then there's Leatherback, obviously, the EMP was there to knock out Striker but it was also there to knock out Crimson Typhoon if needed since the Mark 4 and 5 jaegers were vulnerable to EMPs. Then it has the big dextrous arms, these are not only there to climb the wall if necessary but also for specifically killing Cherno Alpha, see Cherno Alpha's secret weapon is that its con'pod isn't in a typical location it's in the chest and heavily armoured and then there's the fake one on the top of its tower. But when Leatherback is fighting cherno it doesn't go for the fake one, it ignores it and goes straight for the real one crushing it deliberately.
    The one thing these kaiju weren't expecting was gypsy, they thought it destroyed by Knifehead even newt didn't know it was operational, at best he might have heard about the incident of both pilots chasing the rabbit and it not being operational before he left to find Hannibal Choi. So when Gypsy turns up the kaiju have to improvise (and both do), but gypsy is better than new and the pilots are extremely skilled but even then Otachi comes close to destroying it only Macho knew about the sword though so Otachi was blindsided by its sudden appearance.
    The final three Kaiju are designed to specifically fight the surviving two. Scunner is a sneak and a tank, it hides in the shadows and can tank a lot of damage, Raiju is extremely fast designed to be faster than either jaeger, its job was to snipe Gypsy's sword arm and take the weaker jaeger out of the fight whilst Slattern dealt with Striker. Slattern the first Cat 5 is extremely smart, the first thing it does is knock out Striker's cannons, then it tries to finish the jaeger off quickly, going straight for the head. It's only the fast reaction of the pilots that counter this move, so it immediately moves to outmaneuver the only mobile jaeger since gypsy has been crippled (missing most of a leg). In the end, the move sort of works, since Striker has to sacrifice itself to take out Scunner and cripple Slaattern but the Cat 5 is still alive, it's only creative thinking by Gypsy that kills Slattern (a move the Kaiju don't know about).
    Thank you for reading. I love this film, I hope I've given you a new appreciation for it.

      @@apetogetherstrong4243 excuse me, what? The best actor in the movie dies in the first act, Aaron Taylor Johnson is a plank of wood throughout, Elizabeth Olson and Ken Watanabe are completely wasted.
      The story isn't great, basically the plot of 1998 Godzilla but with extra Kaiju thrown in, and Godzilla himself is lacking in any of the personality he was known for by fans, or any of the personality he has in the later films of the monsterverse. If I want a good story in a Godzilla film, I'll go watch Shin Godzilla, or the original. Hell, vs. Destoroyah is better in the story department. Godzilla vs Biollante low-key slaps in that area too.
      Don't confuse a serious tone with a good story. 2014's plot is average monster movie fare, and the series has done better before and since.
      Edit: Also, overused soundtrack? Have you ever actually listened to an Ifukube score? Are you even a fan of this franchise? You sure don't sound like one.

I really believe Pacific Rim took everybody by surprise. I have watched all the Marvel movies in theatre with it's crazed fans but till date nothing could match the frenzied atmosphere on the very first screening of Pacific Rim.

      You can say that but it's pretty logical that the casualties were low because even if you see in this scene when that kaiju destroyed the golden bridge there was no one on it every one was safely evacuated (well maybe most of them). So the military was tracking it path and they figured it will go through these cities so they evacuated it in advance and as you said the population was in millions. Not all of them was evacuated.(it is also possible them those who died were the soliders who took tried to took him down

    • @ScreamingTc
      @ScreamingTc 3 ปีที่แล้ว +94

      Because it's a not stupid writing. It's a nod to an old 70s/80s anime trope of sending in fighters to establish how under gunned conventional units were in stopping the bad guy, and yes one or two fighters inevitably got knocked out by a conventional melee attack. Seeing this in Pacific Rim made me grin like a loon because it reminded me of watching the same thing in Getter Robo during the early 90s.

    I always wished, after I saw this in 2013, that this was a three movie trilogy. With the first movie being about the first, or first few monster attacks, how they stopped at first, what was learned about them, set up the world and story, end with a big fight and win, but the characters understand they need a new way to defeat the monsters. 2nd film would be about the Jagers, how they were built, how they were operated, how they were used ect. and ending with a big and successful fight at the end. And then the last film is this one... the glory days of Jagers are gone, they have to close the portal now, and its the big fight at the end to stop the threat permanently, like what happened in the movie. This opening shows how much more could have been done, it would have been a great scifi trilogy.

      Considering conventional weaponry is practically useless against the Kaiju, using the first option wouldn't amount to much.

If they somehow manage to make it as far as canon, what would they do about Kaiju that could take a 1.2 megaton thermonuclear bomb to the face and still function well enough to potentially destroy a Jaeger other than blow it up with nukes?

    We need a prequel with Charlie Hunamm reprising the role of Raleigh Beckett, the movie can center on the early days of Raleigh and his twin brother.

    I am a Japanese-German descent American. Grown up outside of United States. And my whole life story is a mix of complexity or complications, lies and truth, ups and downs, setbacks and challenges, faith and reality, science and mystery, and I eventually broke. But the universe has something in store for me. And its not over yet for me. There's more, for me.
