The story was written badly. John Boyega was unable to perform as the main lead. He's stuck on his star wars stint. The co-stars did good though. Eastwood did much better than boyega. The story fails in so many aspects. Poorly written. Its a good franchise but they destroyed it. Burn, Charlie, Caille, Eastwood are all amazing. Except Boyega. Gosh they didnt even think about it. Karan was stuck on his Kikiwaka acting. Steven De Knight poorly directs this film. So sad for Pacific Rim: Uprising
