15 Biggest Guilty Pleasure Movies Of 2018

11. Pacific Rim: Uprising

An undeniably cack-handed sequel to Guillermo del Toro's cheeseball cult classic, Uprising ditches Charlie Hunnam, kills off Rinko Kikuchi for no reason and casts John Boyega as Stacker Pentecost's (Idris Elba) surprisingly charmless son.

He's still leagues ahead of a positively wooden Scott Eastwood, who along with most of the supporting cast is simply here to be attractive eye candy.

Yes, there's robots punching robots and robots punching Kaiju, but the lack of meaningful character development and general listlessness makes its predecessor feel positively Shakespearean by comparison.

And even accepting all this, Pacific Rim Too is just weird enough to be diverting. It barely avoids becoming the Vanilla Coke of 2018's blockbusters because, every so often, something deeply strange will happen and confirm that, indeed, this film was co-written by cocaine.

"Best" Moment: After drifting with a Kaiju brain in the first film, Newt's (Charlie Day) mind has been taken over by the alien entities known as the Precursors.

Not only does Newt, otherwise a comic relief character, become the movie's primary antagonist, but there's even a baffling sequence where he appears to have drift-sex with a Kaiju brain he keeps in his apartment and has nicknamed "Alice." Yup.
