Here's a bold one: "Atlantic Rim".

Yes. It is just a low budget cash grab meant to fool grandparents into buying little Johnny the wrong film by accident. (When little Johnny asked for a copy of "Pacific Rim".)

But somehow it actually has a decent script, and passable acting.

The effects are bonkers cheap, though.

Okay, I'm really stretching it with this one.

But I tried to hate-watch it, and couldn't actually hate it.

Is it better than Pacific Rim: Uprising? Lol

Haha. Uh...I never thought about it, but I liked it better, yes.

But my kids like Pacific Rim: Uprising better.
