Los Angeles is under attack by monsters. The mechs attempting to fight them off are better armed than their precursors, but so are the creatures. Of course you know exactly what you are getting yourself into every time The Asylum puts out another mockbuster movie.<br/><br/>"Atlantic Rim: Resurrection" (aka "Atlantic Rim 2") was no exception. It stuck very much true to the formula that The Asylum uses time and time again.<br/><br/>This sequel was actually slightly worse than its predecessor, and that is no small accomplishment.<br/><br/>The CGI in this sequel was just abysmal and it looked like something from a 1990's computer game. I am not kidding. The CGI were that bad!<br/><br/>The characters in the movie were generic and had very little depth and flavor to them, which meant that you didn't buy into them nor did you invest any emotion to any of them.<br/><br/>The acting was adequate, well for taking into consideration the playing ground they were operating in.<br/><br/>Entertainment-wise then "Atlantic Rim: Resurrection" was just not worth the time or effort. I had high hopes for this film after the original but the cast is completely different, the acting wooden and cringe-worthy, the continuity isn't too good either. The special effects are nowhere near as good as the original and the whole film has a 'b-movie on a budget' feel to it. I am so glad I did not pay to see this film at the cinema. I almost stopped watching after 15 minutes but hoped it would improve - how wrong I was.
