Excellant comedy, pretty good romace drama, good but not great zombie film. Endlessly rewatchable, I didn’t even get the best joke til my thrid viewing.

A stereotypical action-packed treasure hunt in the Sahara desert (think “The Mummy” without the Mummy) that ends up running a second storyline inside the first (not separate). |

The matchless mind of Guillermo del Toro comes through on his biggest canvas yet. His Pacific Rim is perfectly attuned to the neural frequencies of 13 year-old males. Yield to it, be one with it, drift inside its richly envisioned adolescent outlook, and the movie is a near continuous tickle….
