VOD: Atlantic Rim - Resurrection (dir: Jared Cohn, 2018)

"This is gonna be as bad as it was the first time, probably worse."

Just as Pacific Rim Uprising followed Pacific Rim, so Atlantic Rim spawns Resurrection the the mockbuster factory.  At least this low-rent sequel goes off in its own direction after the first act.  A kaiju attacks Los Angeles, a highly-improbable team of robot-jockeys attempt to bring it down whilst battling cheap-looking sets and barely-successful CGI.  Just above average for this type of fare thanks to a couple of reasonable performances and a story that is not stretched too thinly, Atlantic Rim Resurrection does what you would expect and no more.
