'Pacific Rim' an incomprehensible and noisy blur

If the hulking machines from ‘Transformers’ jumped celluloid to battle the monstrous title character from Godzilla, the resulting carnage would closely resemble the computer-generated sound and fury of ‘Pacific Rim’.

Guillermo del Toro’s sci-fi action adventure takes a tantalisingly simple premise – giant robots versus gargantuan aliens – and expands that idea into a soulless exercise in technological might over emotional matter.
