'Godzilla' to 'Matrix,' epic 'Pacific Rim' borrows from sci-fi classics
"The Matrix"
To find out if two Jaeger pilots are “Drift” compatible, they must duel. A martial arts training sequence between Raleigh (Charlie Hunnam) and Mako (Rinko Kikuchi) evokes the famous dojo scene between Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) and Neo (Keanu Reeves). Also, the city of Zion has the post-apocalyptic industrial futuristic feel of “Pacific Rim’s” Shatterdome.

The drift is part plugging into the Matrix and part Na’vi communing with Pandora in “Avatar.” Once the drift is complete, the pilots can control the jaegers through a series of synchronized movements that resemble a DDR arcade video game crossed with a Nintendo Wii.

Desde los cortos promocionales de la cinta los espectaculares robots nos recordaron un poco a los que vimos en "Matrix Reloaded" y "Matrix Revolutions" (2003, ambas de los hermanos Wachowski), sólo que, a diferencia de éstos, los de "Pacific Rim" no tienen adentro a sus operadores humanos, sino que son manipulados a control remoto desde otro sitio.

Pero bueno, lo que cuenta es lo que cada uno piense y valore.
