He offers to help her, so they have to link to one another, upon which Boyega discovers that Spaeny is refusing to let go of her memory of a kaiju stepping on her entire family right before her eyes in an unintentionally hilarious scene. John Boyega forgets all about his sister’s death and completely stops acting even a little sad. He then discovers Spaeny, who at this point has an artificial bond with him, struggling to make a neural link to some brain in a jar that is apparently part of their training. After she dies, John Boyega goes to her casket, which is just sitting out in the middle of a base for no fucking discernible reason, and places an old picture of himself with her and Idris Elba’s character from the first movie. The scene of John Boyega mourning his sister’s death is a prime example of this.
PACIFIC RIM UPRISING 2018 FUJI MOVIE
The scenes and plot points of the movie just happen with little to no correlation to one another. The movie comes in just shy of 2 hours, but feels as though it barely scrapes past the minimum 90 minutes. This scene is made even worse by the horrible pacing of the movie. All of their scenes together are so underwhelming and awkward that his sorrow from her death feels completely unwarranted. This is especially evident in John Boyega’s “love” for his sister. The relationships that are supposed to matter to the audience are under developed and feel forced on the audience rather than feeling like real relationships with history. The way characters talk to one another is so oddly distant that it feels like they both recorded the scene separately and then spliced them together in the editing room.
It’s so braindead and so disconnected from reality. The writing of this movie is the worst that I’ve seen in a very long time. This leads into the second terrible aspect of the movie, and is one that may be its most damaging: the writing. generated a rendering of how an actor would act in this role and he sucks up what little life there is in every scene that he’s in.
The man has no range and delivers every line in the same middling way. The only thing that makes John Boyega seem like he is doing such a good job acting is Scott Eastwood.
It’s a character that has been done to death a dozen times over, yet seems to not be any less effective on the public. This cookie cutter character arc is then supplemented by some terrible jokes of him arrogantly pointing out how good looking he is at obtuse times, and that’s all there really is to him. He’s nothing more than a generic son of a hero who rejects following in his father’s footsteps despite showing potential, but who eventually realizes his purpose and decides to save the world in a way that only he could. His character is a horrible trope, and he is simply going through the practiced motions of the trope. Some people are saying that John Boyega is really good in this movie, but in reality he is little more than passable. John Boyega, Charlie Day, and Cailee Spaeny are all passable, but they have to battle the poor writing constantly, and struggle to really come out ahead of the awkward and often cringe inducing lines they’re given. The best that any of the actors do is an alright job. Let’s start with what matters the least and then build from there. A campy movie of giant robots fighting huge monsters in creative, destructive battles delivers all of the pleasures that the Transformers series fails to, but Pacific Rim Uprising misses every mark of potential in this movie’s brief runtime. The conceit of Pacific Rim movies is one that really appeals to me. I don’t remember much of anything about the first Pacific Rim, but I do remember liking it a lot more than its sequel.
