Yesterday saw the emergence of a new PACIFIC RIM viral poster, which urged you to unlock victory with science, and now today we’re seeing yet another poster, which asks the world’s engineers to do their part and turn scrap metal into parts for the film’s jaegars (or giant badass robots).
I’m a bit “viraled out,” personally, but I know some of you folks like this stuff, so we’ll keep on tossing the goods your way!
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.
PACIFIC RIM opens on July 12th.
