I watched Pacific rim tonight, it's on sale this week, $2 on psn for HD rental. I didn't expect much from it, didn't get much out of it either. It didn't help that all the action was concealed by darkness, rain and fast shaky camera action, which makes a very soft image after heavy compression. I watched it on my 92" screen and at times it was hard to see what was going on.
My internet also had some indigestion an hour and a half into the movie, intermittently dropping back to SD quality. Not a good experience having to rewind constantly until the connection clears. (I purchased it on ps4, which does not offer a pre-download option. I tried to switch and watch it on ps3 but it wouldn't let me without going through some de/activation process)
For the movie itself, the artwork carried the movie. Yet I kept watching the time an hour in, bored of all the macho ego bullshit and total disregard of physics. It made war of the worlds look good. 5/10
Might have been a 6 had I been able to rent the blu-ray and watch some of the behind the scenes footage and concept artwork.
