Really not buying this.
Pacific Rim wasn't a film that needed a sequel - there was no hook for one, and I'm not sure how you can expand upon mechs vs. monsters. This looks like more of the same, only a more generic same. Feels like Transformers mixed with Japanese mecha. The Jaegers in the original at least had a sense of weight to them, whereas these look far more sleak and agile. Which makes sense to an extent, given the advances in technology, but again, why did we need this? We're even at the point where we're apparently lifting lines directly from the original as well.
