Pacific Rim: Uprising (2018)

Jake Pentecost, son of Stacker Pentecost, reunites with Mako Mori to lead a new generation of Jaeger pilots, including rival Lambert and 15-year-old hacker Amara, against a new Kaiju threat.

OK sequel doesn't have really live up the original, but has good effects, some capable performances and does offer some exciting action.

Pacific Rim (2013)

As a war between humankind and monstrous sea creatures wages on, a former pilot and a trainee are paired up to drive a seemingly obsolete special weapon in a desperate effort to save the world from the apocalypse.

Lovingly produced homage to Japanese monster movies, entertaining, but one would have expected more from this director.

New Stuff: Pacific Rim

Another gift from my pal Ralf, since I want to watch this movie soon.
