Latest Pacific Rim trailer stomps in on the edge of hope with new footage

Last Updated on July 23, 2021

While I don't think we really needed another trailer to sell any of us on checking out Guillermo del Toro's PACIFIC RIM next month, that's exactly what we have for you today…but I'm not complaining! The more I see from the flick, the more excited I get for July 12 to get here. Between the umpteen TV spots, numerous trailers, and all of the featurettes we've seen, I'm still super-stoked to check this badboy out.

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 (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi)-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.”

Charlie Hunnam, Charlie Day, Idris Elba, Rinko Kikuchi, Robert Kazinsky, Ron Perlman, Max Martini, Clifton Collins, Jr., Burn Gorman, Larry Joe Campbell, Diego Klattenhoff and Brad William Henke all star in PACIFIC RIM, which will arrive in theaters July 12.
