It was released on July 12, 2013, in 3D and IMAX 3D, receiving generally positive reviews; the visual effects, action sequences, and nostalgic style were highly praised. While it underperformed at the box office in the United States, it was highly successful in other markets, thus becoming a box office success.
This was partly due to the special effects used to bring the kaiju and Jaegers to life. To showcase the level of detail, the audience could distinctly understand these massive battles as they watched the moving parts of the Jaegers punch the organic tissue of the kaiju.
Directed by Guillermo del Toro, Pacific Rim was written by the filmmaker and Travis Beacham. Still standing tall as the most expensive movie ever directed by del Toro, Pacific Rim was budged at around $200 million and made $411 million at the box office.
With a gross of $290.9 million worldwide, the film was a box-office disappointment. It also received mixed reviews; many critics considered it inferior to del Toro's film and criticized its story, while praising its visual effects, action sequences, and performances of Boyega, Eastwood and Spaeny.

Pure delight from start to finish, channeling the best that kaiju movies have to offer. Del Toro delivers a visual feast without falling into the 'style over substance' trap. Plenty of eye candy and thrilling action, but not devoid of emotion, what's not to like?
Guillermo del Toro's lack of interest suggests Pacific Rim 3 won't happen. Although del Toro is the only proper option for Pacific Rim 3, it likely won't ever happen. The most recent Pacific Rim 3 update from del Toro was in 2021 when he stated he had no plans to return to the series.
The director walked away from 2018's “Pacific Rim Uprising” as a result of significant delays caused by a producer's late payment on Toronto soundstages, Del Toro revealed to Collider in a recent interview.
One of the key elements that make Pacific Rim's effects work so well is that, while a majority of them were produced digitally, not all of them were. There were still practical effects and models used throughout the making of the film, which they utilized in conjunction with the digital effects created on a computer.
Wonderful Plot along with amazing visuals makes this a must see anime show. It would be nice if their were more Jaegars in the show but sadly we dont get to see that. Theirs alot of room for improvement definitely like bringing variety of Jaegars for all to enjoy after all its a Pacific Rim show.
This monsters vs. robots sequel is, surprisingly, much more than a dashed-off afterthought; it's speedy, nimble, fun, and -- best of all -- it doesn't take itself too seriously. Guillermo Del Toro, who directed the original Pacific Rim (2013), opted not to hold the reins for.
But again, they do not consummate their victory with a kiss. The absence of a kiss wasn't an oversight on del Toro's part. In fact, it was a conscious creative choice, recounting in an interview that he had filmed three different versions of the scene including one where they did kiss.
Oh Yes, if you want to enjoy the second part of Picific Rim then first one is must watch! You will get to know about Kaiju and other major characters who are there in second part as well.

#Nope. Pacific Rim Uprising tried to game the box office by betting on China – and failed miserably. Back in 2013, Guillermo Del Toro's Pacific Rim was a high-concept sci-fi gamble.
The Kaiju are the main antagonists of the Pacific Rim franchise. They are a race of gigantic extraterrestrial beasts generally engineered by the Precursors, a sentient species of alien conquerors who reside in the Anteverse.
The actor explains to Den of Geek, it came down to a “huge scheduling conflict” between the Legendary Entertainment production and another project, a remake of the 1973 Steve McQueen movie 'Papillon,' which Hunnam was “really, really invested” in making.
Striker Eureka in the Hong Kong Shatterdome. The strongest and fastest of the Jaegers, Striker Eureka's fighting style is akin to that of a dirty boxer or a brutal brawler.
Weight is related to size the same way volume is, so if a 6-foot robot weighs 160 pounds, a 270-foot robot would weigh 14.58 million pounds. Gipsy Avenger, however, is listed as only weighing 4 million pounds – an impossible statistic, at least when taking into account Galileo's findings.
In the end of Pacific Rim, Raleigh Becket, Mako Mori, and Gipsy Danger cancel the apocalypse by sealing the breach so no more Kaiju can come through, but what did the Kaiju want and how did they figure out how to stop them?

Pacific Rim Uprising fails to live up to its predecessor and the animated series, with clunky dialogue and a lack of connections to the original film.
Obsidian Fury is a minor antagonist in the 2018 blockbuster Pacific Rim: Uprising. It is a corrupted Jaeger-Kaiju hybrid, created by Shao Industries who was infected by an intelligent Kaiju.
Pacific Rim is a flick about the power and importance of cooperation. Admittedly, it's not the deepest theme in the world, but time and again Guillermo Del Toro has acknowledged and embraced that fact, because he see's Pacific Rim as a film for children.
