It was painful to watch this movie:
Whoops... watched the wrong movie!!! What a mistake!
The script of Atlantic Rim was poorly developed & props were terrible:
-All female crew of the rescue sub... which looked like it was sitting in a building somewhere
-Rescue scene where they find a kid in a burning building... fires looked like they had been airbrushed in
-The inside of the robot looked like a room (which it undoubtedly was)
-Since when can anyone authorise a nuclear strike on an American city?
-Since when do military personnel refuse direct orders for no good reason (don't engage)?
-Stand back I'm going to hit the door handle with my hammer (as they broke out of a room)? They had a car standing by... they could have just rammed the door or pulled it out with a rope? It didn't look particularly strong and just pushing hard probably would have opened it?
-It looked like the rail gun the good guys were using did more damage than the monsters did!
-Who goes to a dance while they're still picking up dead bodies in the streets?
-Despite being in the middle of an invasion they seem to spend every last minute of any time normally used for sleeping drinking? Then they're sober enough to perform properly on a mission? What responsible CO would permit that?
-They've got no fuel left but somehow manage to lift the monstrous beast into low orbit? Go figure?
-The powerless suit falls out of orbit and impacts on land... somehow he just walks away from that?
-The girl is the love interest... but somehow sleeps with both of them... and then they just ignore the whole thing as if it never happened?
A lot of the CGI is so bad it reminds you of Godzilla (the old version). Animated puppets? The monster is not terribly convincing.
A lot of the CGI looks like it was done with an Iphone app?
A lot can be done with a lousy CGI if you develop the script. Unfortunately the script barely holds together.
Watch Pacific Rim (the movie it was based on)... that gets the good reviews.
Atlantic Rim is what is known as a mockbuster: where they try to imitate a good movie.
