Pacific Rim

[LiveFreeX]

Just finished watching it again with my wife (her first time), holy fvck she loved it. I think this is the first depiction in an American film about a Western/Asian relationship. Highly recommend this movie, the Asian co-star is totally feminine, supportive and never tries to show up her male counterpart/love interest. Its really refreshing from the constant barrage of 'I'm a female ninja and I can do whatever a man can do' garbage that we are so used to seeing in movies today. Beyond that, wish they would have shown China and Russia's Jaeygers a little more, those things looked really bad ass... but oh well. There were absolutely no feminist over-tones and the guy never becomes a sh1t face mangina. No-one looks to females for command advice or anything, really well done and the first movie in a long time to depict Asian women accurately.

I wish all movies could depict women as supportive to men. At no time does she try and take command from the man, its always in support OF the men.

i just watched it last week and was pleasantly surprised.

a lot of thought and originality went into the creatures/mech designs.

i agree with your red pill break down of the flick but i honestly didnt even notice because the movie was entertaining and stayed on point throughout.

i recommend. the 10 year old in me thought it was really cool

Was the whole idea a failed perfect society?
