Atlantic Rim (2013)

First off it's an extremely cheap very very low budget rip-off of the original movie. The robots are so pathetic and thin they look as if carved from cheap aluminum; not heavy metal like Pacific rim. The actors are very handsome and beautiful and all but they are amateur at best. Their acting really sucks. The dialogues suck. No professionalism. If CinemaSins (YouTube Channel) was to review this pathetic movie, his movie meter would overload and explode. It's the most pathetic, shitty and rotten movie I have ever seen. Guys and girls and fellow human beings do yourselves a favor and don't watch it. I repeat DO NOT watch it.

After viewing this conglomeration of a film shots which obviously had no one over seeing the ludicrous, that is precisely what we are presented. This has gone onto my list of favorite ultra-bad movies since I guffawed and laughed out loud during the entire film. One thing I will mention is the fact I almost always enjoy Graham Greene as an actor and I would have to believe he wanted to pummel the writer and director throughout this farce.I liked Pacific Rim even if it was a bit cheesy because I am an anime fan and that is specifically what they were attempting to achieve. These films are on two ends of a spectrum.It is noted I have viewed some very wonderfully made low budget films and it is because the writer and director took the time to get the amalgamated pieces connected and coherently proper. I would have to challenge anyone to show me one scene in this movie that had ANY fore thought put into it. I truly believe someone walked into a preschool class and asked the kids to write a script for them which was transcribed by word of mouth to an adult and nothing was changed.This was almost as enjoyable as Mega Shark Versus Mecha Shark. Just not quite there yet. The only thing missing in this movie was the anticipation of the three bots combining to make a "Voltron". That never materializes but damn they do get the weapons, from where I have no idea.So you are warned, this is a heinous creation but if you want a laugh due to no one utilizing logic in creation or no continuity in any way, shape or form, you WILL laugh!Play a game, get a few bottles of your favorite whiskey and shot glasses and some friends. Begin viewing this monstrosity. Each and every time you witness an inanity of any kind, call it out immediately. The person to point out the inane does not have to take a shot, everyone else does. I guarantee within 15 minutes, you and your friends will all be utterly inebriated.

The first hint one should get is that the original title of this movie was "Atlantic Rim"-- apparently trying to grab the few viewers that might mistake it for "Pacific Rim". That they have now changed the title could be only for one of two reasons: 1) Legal troubles with the Pacific Rim people or 2) Atlantic Rim got such a bad reputation they're trying to re-release it under a different name.This is one of the few movies that I would give 3 stars on special effects alone (not great, but interesting)... except that I don't really want to raise the current 1.7 rating. So I chose to not rate it at all, because even a 2 would up the scale a little. The script, acting, logic flaws, senseless storyline... it all adds up to a "rainy Saturday afternoon when the internet is out" movie.But then, anyone who watches a giant robots vs sea monsters movie made by Asylum and expects anything but goofy really is not acquainted with this company. I gave this one a chance thinking "Hey, even Asylum can't totally ruin a giant robots vs sea monsters movie." And I was right. They didn't totally ruin it; they just mostly ruined it. It did contain giant robots and sea monsters after all.Seriously though, recognize there is a reason for that (current) 1.7 rating, and spend time on a hobby or with the family. There, I just saved you a couple of hours out of your life that may have been spent in Asylum drivel. If you're still tempted to watch this, just remember: TRUST THE 1.7... TRUST THE 1.7...

Super awful actors. they look very uncomfortable, not natural and I must admit that i've never seen actors as bad as they are. (even in Sharknado the actors are much better).The script itself have no-sens and we can notice that during first 5min of the movie.Seriously after 10min my eyes was almost bleeding just seeing this very stinky movie.Pacific rim was way much better and interesting (at a certain point) then this one.Truth is The Asylum is not capable to release something good and every time they release a film, you can be sure that it will be a mess or an awful version of a movie which was already made 100 times in 100 different way but this time you just don't have to waste your time because you know it will stink.To do a resume : Just don't lose your time to watch it or other movies released by "The Asylum" because it's just a waste of time !
