We must have seen different "Godzillas...

...this one I found mind numbingly slow paced, esp the first hour, predictable, formulaic and derivative. Needless sub plots and a high degree of implausibility even considering the basic subject. They even ripped off 2001 a Space Odyssey: near the end when the paratroopers are jumping in from 30,000ft! the music is "Atmospheres" / Ligeti, same as the "trip" at the end of 2001.

Even the 3D was sub-par with a flat, non-immersive feel to it. At no time did I feel like I was part of the action or immersed in anything but a twenty something audience. Obviously a post-production addition.

"Pacific Rim" was no masterpiece but at least there was some originality to it, was entertaining and didn't have me looking at my watch wondering how much more I had to endure.
