Pacific Rim – WonderCon Footage

Pacific Rim movie infoWatch new footage from Pacific Rim, which was originally intended to be exclusive to last month’s WonderCon. Fan reaction was so strong, director Guillermo del Toro has now released the footage online.

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 July 12 in 2D, 3D and IMAX 3D.

    Looks like it’ll be the biggest crap-fest yet. Not going to see this even if it was free on TV.
