I suspect this was partly incidental to the film itself, in that any similar film might have affected me similarly this afternoon, but after watching Pacific Rim Uprising it actually seemed like I could feel my brain working differently (that old snobbish, but not wholly wrong, charge that Hollywood can make you less intelligent). Anyway, I was fond enough of the original Pacific Rim to watch it not once but twice, and while this one's colourful and bright enough, it's not as good.
