let’s talk about pacific rim! martial arts + mecha + kaiju
totally cheesy pastiche, loaded with spectacular effects, and never preteding to be a serious movie, this is del toro’s grindhouse, and i’m not sure it beats planet terror but it’s way more spectacular.
surely no oscars for that movie but—what fun! ha ha ha.

where del toro shat the bed was with “the strain” after the first season. but i forgive him.
