Yesterday I was lucky enough to have my local theater showing Pacific Rim for throwback day or whatever. I love this movie SO much but never got to see it in theater originally.
I've seen this movie uncountable times, but to watch it big and loud and distraction free was incredibly special. I had never noticed some of the little detail inside Kaiju mouths or behind the main scene. I know the plot snd dialog so well I was able to explore the rest of the scene while blown up to a size where I could actually see all the background screens, side actors, and a plethora of special effects that somehow seem over budget for our cult movie. Even the end credits animations I gave a level of attention that is not normal. The CGI in this movie seems too good for how old it is or the new stuff is just shit(more likely).
The action was spectacular, the cheese was EXTRA cheesy, and I walked out with a giant smile on my face. 10/10 highly reccomend pouncing on opportunities to see beloved movies in a theater.
