This comes as a bit of a surprise to me, as the film itself boasts two women screenwriters. Overall, women are treated quite unevenly. I suppose, at least theyвЂ™re fighting over their careers and not a man. While itвЂ™s no secret that the two will will work out their differences and come together, itвЂ™s still noteworthy that for the vast majority of their screen time, they simply hate each other. Much of the time they spend together is either in verbal or physical combat. Viktoria hates Amara, jealous of the perceived ease in which Amara got into the Jaeger program while Viktoria had to work for her spot. The main female relationship takes place between diamond-in-the-rough Cadet Amara (Cailee Spaeny) and Cadet Viktoria (Ivanna Sakhno).

But when female characters interact with each other, itвЂ™s usually as adversaries. Technically, the film does pass the Bechdel Test. Assessment:В 31% of top cast and crew members were female. As such, IвЂ™m all too happy to root against him and was glad to see UprisingВ grant me that opportunity.Дoes it pass the Bechdel Test ?В YES.but barely. If I get into everything I hate about this character, this would become an entirely different review, but just know that I find him completely grating. Newton Geiszler (Charlie Day), the villain. In short, UprisingВ knows itвЂ™s ridiculous and basks in it anyway.ДeKnightвЂ™s film is smart for another reason: it makes the most unlikeable character from the original, Dr. At points, it even adopts something I feel the original never achieved-the feeling of a classic anime in which everyone, including the antagonists, join together for a common cause. But overall, the second film is better-paced than the first. While the film still has trouble figuring out what it wants to be at times, jumping between JakeвЂ™s issues with his father and a Disney Channel vibe featuring a ragtag group of international cadets. UprisingВ starts out the gate as a raucous good time as StackerвЂ™s son Jake (John Boyega) parties it up and steals illegal Jaeger parts to fund his baller lifestyle. The first film waffled on what tone it wanted to take, eventually settling for somewhere between comedy and standard sci-fi action. Neither does UprisingВ take itself too seriously. This is a popcorn flick, not War and Peace. UprisingВ did the same in half the time, if not shorter. For starters, it took ages to establish the world and its rules, spending a good 10 minutes just to say that aliens from an underwater wormhole brought the world together in a unified global war. While there were beats in the original Pacific Rim that I liked, such as the child-parent dynamic between Mako Mori and Stacker Pentecost (Rinko Kikuchi and Idris Elba), there were more things I didnвЂ™t like.

What I found great about it was the tighter story. Yet I enjoyed UprisingВ more than its predecessor.

Fast-forward five years, and it seems IвЂ™m still a contrarian since a lot of critics say that Pacific Rim: Uprising, the debut film by Steven S. When it came out in 2013, I felt like a contrarian as people praised the film for its ingenuity and admiration for classic mecha anime.
