Pacific Rim (2013)

This is a new movie about a war between mankind and a race of sea creatures who fight for earth. These humans use these state of the art robots that they sit in and control by connecting the two pilots minds with the machine to fight with. This is a really great scifi movie with AWESOME special effects. It has a great cast (which you can read below) and an entertaining story line.

I give this movie a 5 out of 5. This movie is not for kids under 10.

Starring Charlie Hunnam (Children of Men, Green Street Hooligans) as Raleigh Becket, Diego Klattenhoff (After Earth, Lucky Number Sleven) as Yancy Becket, Idris Elba (Prometheus, Thor) as Stacker Pentecost, Rinko Kikuchi (The Brothers Bloom, The Sky Crawlers) as Mako Mori and Charlie Day (Horrible Bosses, Monsters University) as Dr. Newton Geiszler.

Dredd (2012)

In this futuristic movie about police that have the authority to judge, a new trainee is teamed with a veteran to see what she is made of. When they get to the destination all hell brakes loose and judges get killed. They were selling a drug called SLO-MO!!!

This is a re-make of the movie Judge Dredd. This movie is not as good as the original both cast and story.

I give this movie a 3.5 out of 5. This is not a kid friendly movie due to violence.

Starring Karl Urban (Star Trek, Star Trek Into Darkness) as Judge Dredd, Jason Cope (District 9, Doomsday) as Zwirner, Olivia Thirlby (Juno, No Strings Attached) as Anderson, Lena Headey (300, The Purge) as Ma-Ma and Rakie Ayola (Sahara, The I Inside) as Chief Judge.

This is the pre-quell to Monsters Inc., and is a very cute movie. It talks about how Mike Wazowski and James P. Sullivan join Monsters Inc. It shows when they were kids, how they met at the University and some entanglements they get into while earning there spots.
