I had fun once.

I hated it.

But in all seriousness, I get where OP is coming from. I was hyped for this movie but in the end it just wasn't my thing. I can appreciate the cinematography for the fight scenes (dat hong kong) and the designs that went into the kaiju and the jaegers, but literally everything else was just very...horrible. The acting, the dialogue, the script. Etc. My friend argued it was done like that on purpose, to over exaggerate the troupes of the genres, but that just meant it was supposed to be that bad, not accidental.

I'm a total sucker for 'humanity vs alien' movies, a fan of anime/manga so am aware of mecha, and love sci-fi dystopic kinds of movies, but every character was forgettable and there was little to no chemistry in their relationships. The only one that stuck out was the small bit of rivalry between the two scientists, the Australian dad/son duo, and the russian couple.

I physically cringed at how horrible forced some of the drama was. That hasn't happened since my sister dragged me to the abomination that was The Host.
