A third trailer showing off more Jaegers vs. Kaiju action in Guillermo Del Toro’s Pacific Rim has landed online, letting us know that you would be absolutely crazy not to check this out on the big screen. The trailer goes into a bit more detail regarding how humans control the Jaegers (giant robots), and reiterates what we already know of the plot from previous trailers, but its primary focus is on giving us plenty of new action footage to sink our teeth into before we can actually experience the final product this July. Hit the jump to watch sheer epic mayhem unfold!
Official 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.
Pacific Rim, directed by Guillermo del Toro, stars Charlie Hunnam, Ron Perlman, and Idris Elba. It hits theaters nationwide July 12, 2013.
