Product Description
When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity's resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi) who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind's last hope against the mounting apocalypse.

Short summary: a portal to an alien world opens under the ocean and giant monsters come out. The governments of the world team up to battle them, eventually doing so with Jaegers, huge robots piloted by two psychically linked pilots who must act in tandem to control their war machines. For a while this goes swimmingly, but the money dries up and the monsters keep coming, and soon the fate of the world rests on crusty and intensely likeable Stacker Pentecost (Idris Elba) who runs the world's last 4 jaegers in an endless war against the monsters out of Hong Kong. Pentacost has a plan to destroy the portal that brings the monsters to earth but to do that he recruits emotionally scarred Raleigh Becket (Charlie Hunnam) who must copilot with the impetuous and vengeful Mako Mori (Rinko Kikuchi) for one last big mission. Cue a ton of fighting and explosions.
This film showcases a lot of newcomer actors to great effect. The burgeoning friendship between Mori and Becket is particularly well done (it is best described as a guy-girl bromance really) and the rest of the cast does science, runs from monsters, or is Ron Perlman (yes that's a role now) very effectively. Idris Elba gets to play to his strengths very well here and chew a lot of scenery as an AGING HERO with SAD SECRETS, and lest you think that del Toro will craft a strong black lead then stick him in an office like every other director, rest assured that Pentacost punches monsters in a big robot too.
Of course the fights are the meat of the film and they do not disappoint. The robots and monsters convey a powerful sense of size and weight, as their enormous fists, tails, and jaws gnash and hit with weight and authority. Fights are almost wholly digital affairs and perhaps to save money they are usually in rainy darkness, but they are still exciting and tense. The multi-stage throwdown in Hong Kong at the film's peak is one of the best giant monster battles ever committed to film and I say that as a die-hard Godzilla fan.
Some critics have panned this film for a lack of depth, but the truth is that it does what it wants to- deliver a summer blockbuster- and it does so with unprecedented depth. Its writing, performances, and effects easily put it on par with The Avengers as a smart summer action romp, and to disrespect this film because it's not another Pan's Labyrinth is sort of like saying a really good ice cream sundae is undeserving of your time because it's not a baked Alaska. Lest we overlook it too, Rim is also an ORIGINAL film in an industry plagued by remakes, sequels, and general unoriginality. You don't have to buy it (although I would) but you should absolutely see it in theaters or rent it at least once. Don't miss out.
PROS
-Endearing performances from a young cast (with help from some veterans)
-Way, way better than Cloverfield
-Blends Artsy del Toro's flair for eerie creatures and dream imagery with comic geek del Toro's love of SMASH POW BAM
-Effective ear bug soundtrack will stick with you
-Really good 3D if that's your thing
CONS
-Some of the other Jaeger crews are not very well developed
-The very beginning crams a lot of exposition in pretty fast
UPDATE 10/21/2013
So I received and watched the disk. The standard version of Rim comes in a handsome slipcase with a fun holographic cover that APPEARS to be removable (although a true collector won't want to of course...). The BD itself is easily navigable and all trailers are skippable. There is a whole other disk of special features which I have not yet watched. Overall this feels very premium, more like a collector's edition than a basic retail set. The case doesn't even have cutouts to save material as many BD cases do nowadays.
Picture quality is outstanding overall. On the small screen, and without the slight softening effect of 3D, this actually reveals some sort of cheap-looking CGI in the first Kaiju encounter during the opening narration*. Thankfully, subsequent battles look great. The movie is free from excessive cleanup and boasts the odd bit of grain, making it look very filmic and natural, even when big monsters and big robots are clubbing one another with bits of dockyard.
Audio is suitably bombastic and rich, with voices, music, and effects all mixed to a consistent, listenable volume range (I'm looking at you, first two Iron Man films on home video).
Overall this is a great Blu Ray and watching it at home the film held up to my initial high opinion.
* This is probably because much of this sequence was produced long before editing of the remainder of the film was completed.
I glanced past several reviews with very extensive plot information. I'm very glad I didn't read them before I saw the movie. Do you really need 1,000 words of spoilers before you buy the movie? You won't get that from me. Earth is being invaded through some type of dimensional portal by huge monsters who are making an awful mess of cities along coasts around the world. Mankind has built a number of gigantic mechanical devices to fight them mano a mano - although some of the pilots are women. These behemoths are piloted by teams of two (or in one case three) pilots whose minds are blended in such a way that they can work almost as one person and yet independently also. Everything was going well for a while, but now the monsters are getting larger and the attacks are coming more frequently. The home team is suddenly losing both Jaegers, as the machines are called, and pilots.
In an early battle, our primary hero lost his brother, who was his copilot, and has become a construction worker moving from city to city as everyone builds huge walls in a pointless attempt to keep the Kaiju (giant monster in Japanese) out. They emerge every time from a specific area in the Pacific Ocean. The head of humanity's defenses, who is also a former pilot, tracks our hero down because they need anyone who can work "in the drift" as the mind link is called.
There are some oddball scientists and Ron Perlman (jeez, I love him) as a black market dealer in Kaiju body parts to provide some humor. The score is quite interesting and varied.
The movie is an homage to the monster and mechanized movies and TV shows of Japan beginning with Godzilla in 1954. Joseph Campbell would be so proud of Guillermo's use of the archetypes of legend in creating his characters. Del Toro will be glad to explain it to you. I'm not sure all the critics understood the many layers built into this movie. Too bad if they missed it. This is a terrific ride (and loud), but it has some serious lessons built into all the sound and fury. The monsters are real and we don't need to import them - they are right here already.

Besser als die Blu-ray!
Absolute Kaufempfehlung!
この映画は老若男女誰の心も高める作品です。
最初は怪獣ロボットムービーと馬鹿にしていても最後には拳を握ってみてしまう、過去最高の作品
余談ですが、この監督続編作らずに、別作品作ってアカデミー賞取っちゃってます(笑)
