Dreamland- feel free to stay

so this will probably have a lot of spoilers in it, for those who have not seen the movie by now- I will try and mark them all; for those who saw it already- here is what I think about it:

I heard a lot negative reviews about Pacific Rim, and so I was reluctant to watch it, but my flatmate got the DVD and told me to watch it because I might like it- and I so did!- and was surprised in the most positive way!
of course me comes from a long loving mecha-anime history, so I was like "yessss, OMG do it do it do it" and "ohhh noooo, no, no, no, no way, no" at the same time but really the graphic technology used in movie making got awesome, while I was not looking! damn, they did a great job!
the story is rather simple, but come on, it's an action movie not a psycho thriller! if you want to have a deep story watch one of those, in action genre this movie is rather good and impressive, in my humble opinion
special good points are awarded for the following scenes: (spoiler warning!)

points lost for scenes I did not like: (and again spoiler warning!)

so basically you will find it entertaining if u like action and big machines, monsters and lots of fires with also quite some humor- GO WATCH IT!
but don't watch it if you are in search for a girl hero- not so much, she is... well let's say it's complicated with her-
- her Japanese seams real, and she plays well but her role is not that significant (action movie remember)- so if you call yourself a Feminist you might not like her at all, and there is only one other women with text, if you call 6 to 8 sentences text; nighter should you look for deem character evolvement, look again, but please not in this movie,
of course the mecha fans out there who watched a lot of mecha anime recognized some parts most defenitly- but this is an actual movie- not an anime! (and yes I am aware the took parts of other movies too)
so here is my overall awarded points- list (each category goes from 1- absolutely dreadful to 10- absolutely fucking amazing)

1. 10 points -for screenplay and animation


2. 6 overall story points
   

   8,9 points within the action genre (it has a war in it after all, and a running clock)



3. 7 points for the characterizations (but remember not much growing so my awarded points take the action genre in account)


4. 9 points for the music and the sound effects and the noises- they are pretty neat


5. -1 point for often unnecessary engaged conversations while in the mechas (most of the other conversations are rather good)

so thats what I thought of the movie
have you watched it already? if yes, what did you make of it? are there points were you disagree with me?
if not, was this review helpful?
