![]() ![]() ![]() No human being is present to register it and raise wide eyes to the camera in classic Spielberg style. It’s significant, though, that this moment, funny as it is, takes place in a completely empty office building. Director Guillermo del Toro has so much fun staging the various assaults that at one point, he constructs a throwaway gag about desktop physics, in the tradition of Jurassic Park’s coffee-cup ripples. Even jaded viewers who yawned at the release of the Kraken will have to acknowledge that few titans have clashed so impressively-even when the combatants are slugging it out in the ocean, miles from shore (which is most of the time), the sheer scale of the action is awe-inspiring. Nobody who wants to see gigantic, well-armed robots battle Godzilla’s contemporary cousins will leave Pacific Rim disappointed. ![]()
