@MrNegative - Yikes that's insanity to me. Yeah the lead in the original was a little wooden but Mako and Edris Elba's characters were great. In this I don't think I can call any of these people characters and they have no real relationship with one another.

Better Kaiju? The designs were generic, the kaiju are barely in the film, and the CGI on them is spotty compared to the photo real original. The action here looked like a weightless bad video game cut scene compared to the amazing production design Del Toro did on the original, which was the star of the whole show. I can't think of one action scene I REMEMBER in Uprising let alone liked and I saw it last night!

Better plot?? This one has to be a joke. Don't get me wrong the first film was simplistic to almost a fault, but this one is the complete opposite and is nonsensical. The Kaiju all along have been trying to get to MT. Fuji so their magic blood can set off a train reaction and teriform the earth? WTF? Then why were they showing up in the US in the original? Charlie Day's character somehow built a super advanced Jagger without anyone noticing, found a kaiju brain somehow, and best of all somehow hacks the drones to magically turn into jagger hybrids.

This movie is so stupid and fails on every level. Boyega is the only shining light in it.
