Tokyo gets trashed again in this disjointed sequel set a decade after the events of the original Pacific Rim. John Boyega plays scammer Jake Pentecost, the son of deceased Stacker Pentecost (Idris Elba), who is avoiding jail by training new robot-pilot cadets alongside Nate Lambert (Scott Eastwood, doing an ace impersonation of dad Clint). Just in time too, because rogue Jaegers are on the destructive rampage, all part of a Kaiju resurrection masterplan to end the world. With its Transformers knock-off spectacle, this scrappy extravaganza might look a little like Thunderbirds in places, but once the gargantuan battles begin, it delivers the expected city-smashing action. Sure, it's repetitive and the monster mayhem makes little sense, but as mindless junk movies go, this easily punches above its weight.
