Saturday Movies: Pacific Rim (2013)

Pacific Rim is like a geeky boys dream movie. Nothing is wrong with that, but it definitely leaves the room  a way to get wrote off easier than other movies. Guillermo Del Toro may even be a geek himself, but with past movies he's proven he's got Oscar notoriety.  Even if the story is lacking a bit in this movie, the visual effects are the most spectacular you'll see in a movie this year. The actors also make the movie a bit better even if their characters aren't to be the most interesting of the lot.
