Contrary to popular belief, Hollywood isn’t a land of originality. It’s been recycling, remaking and rebooting the same ideas for years. Because if the one thing film execs know it’s to force-feed ideas to audiences. And with all the garbage that Hollywood makes, cheap knockoffs of big blockbusters never surprise us. So these are the “mockbusters” that blatantly cash in on something they’re not. And they’re so shameless, we actually kind of want to watch them.
Atlantic Rim
When giant monsters attack from the depths of the ocean, the U.S. government decides its only course of action is to build equally giant robots to fight them. But the monsters come from the ATLANTIC rim, so this movie is totally different from “Pacific Rim.”
