Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.
Granger The first hint one should get is that the original title of this movie was "Atlantic Rim"-- apparently trying to grab the few viewers that might mistake it for "Pacific Rim". That they have now changed the title could be only for one of two reasons: 1) Legal troubles with the Pacific Rim people or 2) Atlantic Rim got such a bad reputation they're trying to re-release it under a different name.This is one of the few movies that I would give 3 stars on special effects alone (not great, but interesting)... except that I don't really want to raise the current 1.7 rating. So I chose to not rate it at all, because even a 2 would up the scale a little. The script, acting, logic flaws, senseless storyline... it all adds up to a "rainy Saturday afternoon when the internet is out" movie.But then, anyone who watches a giant robots vs sea monsters movie made by Asylum and expects anything but goofy really is not acquainted with this company. I gave this one a chance thinking "Hey, even Asylum can't totally ruin a giant robots vs sea monsters movie." And I was right. They didn't totally ruin it; they just mostly ruined it. It did contain giant robots and sea monsters after all.Seriously though, recognize there is a reason for that (current) 1.7 rating, and spend time on a hobby or with the family. There, I just saved you a couple of hours out of your life that may have been spent in Asylum drivel. If you're still tempted to watch this, just remember: TRUST THE 1.7... TRUST THE 1.7...
Smike93 This movie is utterly dreadful, although that is the precise point of these 'mockbusters'. My flatmate and I watch a s**t movie every other Sunday - we call it "S**t Movie Sunday." This one didn't disappoint. The highlights of this movie (i.e. the most 's**t' parts) are as follows:The moment when a 6-second clip of a jet flying across a sunset was re-used 5 times in a 10 minute action sequence. The 'Love Triangle' which lasts about 21 seconds.A homeless guy getting jumped in an alleyway by the main characters for no apparent reason.This movie is absolutely dreadful... please watch it at your own risk.
nulkparveen I don't know how badly you must want to have to be an actor to sign up to star in Asylum films. I can only imagine them watching the films they parody wishing they could be real movie stars like them. For the five mins of this film that I watched, it looked how I imagine a home movie looks when someone films their kids playing with Rock Em Sock Em Robots. CGI budget must have been entirely used up in one or two scenes as most of the film is made up of people running around a military base and drinking in a bar.So glad I didn't pay to watch this and caught it on a dud channel in the middle of the night.
Leofwine_draca Atlantic RIM delivers exactly what you'd expect from a PACIFIC RIM rip-off knocked out by notorious production studio The Asylum. It's a film packed to the brim with nonsense, featuring some pretty bad CGI monsters and robots and robotic dialogue to match.I like del Toro's PACIFIC RIM; it's a rip-roaring homage to the kaiju flicks of old. This is nothing like; instead it's a bland, soulless production that concentrates too much on simply trying to join the dots than to deliver a decent piece of stand-alone entertainment. The performances are uniformly poor, ranging from the non-starters (like Treach, who was also in the horrendous THE ART OF WAR III) to the weary veterans (Graham Greene, a long way from DIE HARD WITH A VENGEANCE).The CGI shots are as cheap and amateurish as you'd expect, but at least when the fights start Atlantic RIM does keep you watching - if only a little. But it's in the various supposedly dramatic dialogue scenes where this really falls apart, slowing down to a fatal crawl from which it never recovers.
