Pacific Rim Uprising almost included a homage to John Carpenter’s horror classic The Thing.
While The Thing is considered a masterpiece now, it was roundly hated by critics and even horror fans upon release in 1982.
While Pacific Rim Uprising didn’t quite receive the warm reviews of Guillermo del Toro’s original, it still proved to be an entertaining blockbuster that further displayed the star power of John Boyega.
The movie ended with a tease for a third movie, but time will tell if the film does enough business to warrant another adventure.
