Inaccuracies in Pacific Rim
1) Carbon dioxide does NOT delay any acidic reaction. CO2 is itself acidic, hence it should, if anything, accelerate any acidic reaction of Kaiju Blue (but only if the order of reaction with respect to H+ is not 0).
2) Stacker Pentacost (Idris Elba) keeps insisting on mispronouncing "nuclear". It's "new-clear", Idris Elba, not "new-cue-lar".
3) Her name's Mori Mako, not Mako Mori, given that I'm certain "Mori" is her family name and the Japanese traditionally refer to a person by [familiy name][given name].
4) Why do Kaiju have DNA if they are extraterrestrial? One of the surest ways to prove that organisms descend from the same common ancestor from Earth is to determine the chemical composition of the molecule(s) which encode inheritable traits. In Earthlings, the molecule is DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). Who's to say the Kaiju don't utilise some other molecule?
OBSERVATION: Did they even have anyone proofread the script and "proof-watch" the film?
Favourite Characters in Pacific Rim (in decreasing order)
1) Newton Geiszler: he is the star of multiple scenes in which my amusement skyrockets and which also redeem the movie magnificently
2) Hermann Gottlieb: I cannot get that scene where Geiszler offered his hand to Gottlieb for a bro-shake (or whatever it was, I have no name for it that I know of) and Gottlieb just...doesn't know where to fit his hand
3) Hercules Hansen: he's simply the polar opposite of his son (and also, I love his accent)
4) The secondary Kaiju brain in Geiszler's lab (it's adorable when it waves its vein/artery around and makes popping sounds when it adheres to the walls of its container by suction)
5) Tendo Choi: what? He's smart. And Asian. Well, we could have summed that up with "Asian" and leave it at that, given the stereotype that all Asians are smart.
OBSERVATION: Clearly I have no preference for American heroes and main characters, and a strong liking for smart people/things.
Least Favourite Characters in Pacific Rim (in order of increasing likeability)
1) Chuck Hansen: the bully
2) Raleigh Beckett: immensely boring despite his tragic past
3) Hannibal Chau: he's not number 1 only because he's comic relief and named himself "Hannibal"
4) Stacker Pentacost: I hate how he's always figuratively manhandling the K-science team
5) ...Kaiju? There aren't enough characters I dislike enough to include in this list.
