Pacific Rim Uprisinghas the reverse problem of its predecessor.Guillermo del Toro’s 2013 action movie features a rich and vibrant world that’s diminished by its bland hero Raleigh Beckett. The new sequel, directed bySteven S. DeKnight, has no problem putting a charismatic lead front-and-center, but all the energy and design has been excised from the picture.
