Pacific Rim: Tales From Year Zero by Yvel Guichet, Pericles Junior, Travis Beacham, Sean Chen
4.0
When I watch Pacific Rim, I know that the movie will never become blockbuster. Simple, it's too silly, esp for USA audience (I'm not American BTW). Also apocalypse theme is kinda overused. But, surprisely, I'm enjoy the movie. Love the graphic, love Charlie Hunnam (ehm), and it's kinda remind me of my childhood that somehow delighted to see Ultraman beat the monster (haha)
Pacific Rim : Tales from Year Zero contain 3 part. First part told from Tendo Choi's view, about K-Day. That is when the first Kaiju attack. We will get to see Stacker Pentecost's sister, Luna. And maybe she is the reason why in the movie, Stacker holding the responsibility for the demise of the kaijus.
The second part is told us how the Jaeger made for the first time. How it'd developed, how it's need 2 brain to make it work. I like this part, maybe because it's have so many romantic element on it.
The third part is from various POV. From Pentecost, the Beckett brothers (Yancy and Raleigh) and Mako Mori. We will know that Stacker once had partner, Tamsin Sevier, but she suffer from the radiation effect. People that read it after see the movie will have an "aha moment", for they who still not see it, they will understand without spoiled too much.
All the story are intertwined by a journalist named Naomi, which of course not in the movie. Pacific Rim Tales from Year Zero is a must read if you love Pacific Rim, or even you find the movie just okay, you don't want to miss this one. Maybe, the movie will always seen as mediocre movie, but I feel it will become cult in the future
