review 1: 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. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are piloted by an international crew of soldiers in the Pan Pacific Defense Corps. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, two unlikely heroes—a washed up former pilot and an untested trainee—team up to pilot a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger on a mission to halt the mounting apocalypse.Great if you did not watch the movie. The book version has bits and pieces that are different from the movie version. The author of this book a... moredds information that is not displayed in the movie. Main characters include Raleigh, Mako, Pentecost, and more.
review 2: There are a lot of inconsistencies with the film, not always for the better.It does manage to convey a grander sense of scale by revealing the names and final fates of other Jaegers not depicted in the film. Romeo Blue, Lucky Seven, Shaolin Rogue and more!It made things look more like a war, and depicted expansions of scenes in the film that revealed more about and did more to develop the characters. less
