Pacific Rim. Building giant robots to fight large creatures.... Ridiculous, but fantastic film!

Pacific rim was one of those movies that cemented that you can't just say a movie is bad or good. The tomato-meter doesn't have nuance.

There are days I want to come home and experience the perfect sci fi movie with amazing effects, and there are days I want a drama that brings me to tears. Then some days I just want to see giant robots punching the shit out of aliens. All three are good movies for their own merits.
