Regarding
the fight scenes, del Toro gives a very good description:
“The first fight is
very operatic, theatrical: Wagnerian. It happens in the middle of an
iceberg-strewn sea, in the middle of a storm, with huge waves crashing on the
Jaeger and Kaiju. We worked really hard at making water a character in this
movie, frequently referring to Hokusai or the Fuji wave, and trying to make the
water enhanced and add to the drama. This fight tries to quote the majesty of a
painting by Goya called the Colossus.”
Pacific Rim Official Synopsis:
When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started
rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume
humanity’s resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a
special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are
controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural
bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face
of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending
mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes—a washed up former
pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi)—who are teamed
to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past.
Together, they stand as mankind’s last hope against the mounting apocalypse.
