Pacific Rim, for me, wasn't a film that really needs a definitive version. I walked into the cinema wanting Totally Not Transformers Vs Definitely Not Godzilla, and that's what I got. And I thought it was exactly the kind of exhilarating fun it should have been.

However, I'm not always in the mood to watch the whole thing including the wacky scientist parts. And so this version from RangerKris suits me down to the ground - this is the 90-odd minute version that I'll watch when what I really want is to see big robots kicking not-Godzilla ass, and no comedic relief parts. It might be possible to trim the original film down even further, but I don't think it's really necessary.

Visual quality is great - as others have mentioned, there are a couple of IMO minor issues with the audio, though they didn't bother me much. And enjoyment, for me, is up there with the original release.
