The primary cast in any film, sci-fi or otherwise, are usually the deciding factor in whether it is interesting to watch, and both John Boyega and Cailee Spaeny are not just bad actors, but extremely unlikable to boot. I wasn't going to write a review as I considered it unfair to judge a movie I haven't even watched to completion, but then again this is the first movie in years that I had to turn off it was so far below my expectations, which were not that high to begin with as I was expecting a simple turn-off-your-brain rollercoaster action movie with big cool mechs... but I can't stand those two and just had to turn it off. The Pacific Rim franchise is officially dead.

I was so excited to hear about Origins, and had no idea this was going to be such a low budget amateurish affair. It looks like something a film student would do on a shoestring budget as his first production.
