Guillermo del Toro’s PACIFIC RIM is easily in the running to be one of the coolest films of 2013, especially for fans of genre films. The whole idea of giant robots versus giant monsters should play out really well with audiences, and everything we’ve seen so far looks pretty great. Warner Bros. has now release a new “main” trailer, which we imagine will be the last before release, and again, it looks incredibly solid. Check it out below and tell us your thoughts in the comments. Are you as excited for this one as we are?
PACIFIC RIM is directed by Guillermo del Toro and stars Charlie Hunnam, Rinko Kikuchi, Idris Elba, Ron Perlman and Charlie Day.
SYNOPSIS: From acclaimed filmmaker Guillermo del Toro comes Warner Bros. Pictures’ and Legendary Pictures’ sci-fi action adventure “Pacific Rim.” When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity’s resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes, a washed up former pilot and an untested trainee who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind’s last hope against the mounting apocalypse.
PACIFIC RIM is set to hit 2D, 3D and IMAX 3D theaters on July 12, 2013
