History Film / AtlanticRim

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Admiral Hadley.

* TheAlcoholic: Red partakes of intoxicating beverages at every given opportunity, several characters remark on this and it's hinted he even pilots his mech while under the influence.

It was featured in [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S12E02AtlanticRim an episode]] of Season 12 of ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'', and at time of 'airing', stands as the most recent film the show's ever covered.

** Speaking of Geise, see the point raised at ANuclearError, below.

* UnfortunateName: Its pretty easy to understand why Captain Sheldon Geise chooses to go by his last name. The Admiral is happy to oblige, at least until [[spoiler:Geise goes nuts and pulls a gun on him, at which point Admiral Hadley starts using his first name to taunt him.]]

* {{Jerkass}}: Red is a complete prick to everyone, especially his supposed friends Tracy and Jim. It's not at all clear why they even hang out with him off-duty; they don't seem to actually like him. He also seems completely unaffected by the many, many civilians he accidentally kills in the first fight.

!Atlantic Rim provides examples of:

* ArrestedForHeroism: Red is arrested for disobeying orders even after helping kill the first monster. [[KarmaHoudini The rest of the unit is not]], despite the fact that they also disobeyed the same orders, they just were close enough in that they could be forced to obey them.

* GunsDoNotWorkThatWay: During an underwater battle with the kaiju, Red attempts to shoot it with a weapon he refers to as a "railgun". Railguns work using electrical currents and magnetism, if used underwater the best case scenario would be that the gun would be ineffective due to the density of the water and more likely it would short circuit.

* TheAlcoholic: Red partakes of intoxicating beverages at every given opportunity, several characters remark on it's hinted he even pilots his mech while under the influence.

''Atlantic Rim'' (also known as ''Attack from Beneath'') is a 2013 film by Creator/TheAsylum that (mostly) [[TheMockbuster rips off]] ''Film/PacificRim''.

* BloodKnight: [[spoiler:Geise, who was obsessed with nuking the monsters. Weirdly, specifically obsessed with it, in fact, for reasons that aren't really at all clear. It's suggested that he's more knowledgeable about the creatures (and more paranoid of them) then the others because he was a part of the project that originally discovered them... but he should still be smart enough to have noticed that conventional weapons have already defeated two monster attacks. If anything, the fact that two monsters were downed without nukes and that the robots are winning the final battle actually ''upsets'' him. It could be explained as him having a grudge against Red (who doesn't?) except that the two never actually interact, and while Geise does openly express a dislike of Red, casual dislike seems to be all it really is. It can't even be explained as him having a vested interest in seeing the mech project fail; in fact, he specifically requests that the bot pilots be ordered to retreat before the nuke hits because he doesn't want them to get hurt. Really, why he thinks the monster would kill more people than ''nuking New York City'' is not at all clear, except that he just thinks nukes are awesome, and the film seems to think it needs a human villain for some reason.]]

* BloodKnight: Geise, who was obsessed with [[spoiler: nuking the monsters. Weirdly specifically obsessed with it; the fact that the first few attacks were defeated with conventional weapons and that the robots are winning the final battle absolutely enrages him. Why he thinks the monster would kill more people than ''nuking New York City'']] is not at all clear, except that the film seems to think it needs a human villain. They could at least have tried to HandWave it as his [[spoiler:holding a grudge against the hero(es), or having a vested interest in seeing the mech project fail]].

* DullSurprise: Graham Greene never changes his facial expression, whether complaining about not following orders, yelling at a subordinate or getting shot.
