Crushing New ‘Pacific Rim’ Featurette Has A Jaeger Focus

Yet another fascinating featurette has arrived from acclaimed visionary director Guillermo del Toro’s monster (s)mash-up PACIFIC RIM. The simple Japanese -inspired premise is looking absolutely smashing with this particular 4-minute look centring on the massive mechanical beasts that are mankind’s only hope for survival against the towering otherworldly creatures unleashed via a shattering underwater earthquake.

The official plot goes as follows:

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 stars Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Rinko Kikuchi, Charlie Day, Ron Perlman, Max Martini, Robert Kazinsky, Clifton Collins, Jr., Burn Gorman, Larry Joe Campbell, Diego Klattenhoff, and Brad William Henke. It’s released in cinemas 12th July!
