New Pacific Rim images stomp on in!

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

USA Today has just slapped a few new photos from PACIFIC RIM online; you can gawk at them above and below. Some of these look like they’re just screen shots from one of the film’s trailers – but you know what? We don’t care. Anything PAC RIM (as the cool kids call is) is worth giving another look.

No Kaiju though; you’ll have to wait a bit longer for a solid peek at one of those bastards.

Opening on July 12, Guillermo del Toro’s PACIFIC RIM has the following plot synopsis:

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.
