When we get a genre movie with a plot or story that runs more deep and meaningful, it's a real prize and it tends to rise above the genre.
i'm perfectly happy with a thin plot/story - as long as I can be moved by something else - be it great action, fantastic visuals, and performances adequate enough to keep me in the movie

I agree. Pacific Rim played my nostalgia piano perfectly. It took all the best elements from an otherwise unpolished live action genre and made them shine. This kinda film isn't meant to be high art. It is meant to be big and thrilling. Robot Jox VS Godzilla would probably be the closest in feel compared to this film.
