As for my thoughts on Pacific Rim Uprising, it's not as good as the first film, but I still liked it. It feels like it's rushing a bit, trying to fit everything in, and it doesn't build up its characters and their relationships as well as the first one, but there's still plenty of fun robot smashy fighty fights. Some key plot points remind me of parts of Neon Genesis Evangelion episode 7 (A Human Work), and parts of End of Evangelion… also there seems to be a Blues Brothers reference…
