The first trailer for Guillermo Del Toro‘s Pacific Rim has finally been released. After a viral marketing campaign and what seems like endless speculation, there’s finally an idea of what the film will look like. While Pacific Rim looks fantastic, with monsters robots and creatures, it feels like it’s been done so many times before. It’s almost as if the creative team watched a few Japanese Anime’s and decided that they would be a wonderful film project. Hopefully with the talent involved it turns out a little better than that.
Apple has the trailer. Pacific Rim stars Charlie Hunnam, Rinko Kikuchi, Idris Elba, Ron Perlman, and Charlie Day, and will be released in 2D and 3D on July 12, 2013.
Pacific Rim 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.
