Pacific Rim Uprising IMAX Trailer – John Boyega and the giant robots take on the monsters

February 15, 2018 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Synopsis: ‘The globe-spanning conflict between otherworldly monsters of mass destruction and the human-piloted super-machines built to vanquish them was only a prelude to the all-out assault on humanity in Pacific Rim Uprising.

‘John Boyega (Star Wars: The Force Awakens) stars as the rebellious Jake Pentecost, a once-promising Jaeger pilot whose legendary father gave his life to secure humanity’s victory against the monstrous “Kaiju.” Jake has since abandoned his training only to become caught up in a criminal underworld. But when an even more unstoppable threat is unleashed to tear through our cities and bring the world to its knees, he is given one last chance to live up to his father’s legacy by his estranged sister, Mako Mori (Rinko Kikuchi)—who is leading a brave new generation of pilots that have grown up in the shadow of war. As they seek justice for the fallen, their only hope is to unite together in a global uprising against the forces of extinction.

‘Jake is joined by gifted rival pilot Lambert (The Fate of the Furious’ Scott Eastwood) and 15-year-old Jaeger hacker Amara (newcomer Cailee Spaeny), as the heroes of the PPDC become the only family he has left. Rising up to become the most powerful defense force to ever walk the earth, they will set course for a spectacular all-new adventure on a towering scale.”

The film will hit cinemas March 23rd, 2018. Take a look at the new trailer below. [Read more…]

Pacific Rim (Blu-ray)

November 10, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Rinko Kikuchi, Rob Kazinsky, Charlie Day
Director: Guillermo Del Toro
Running Time: 131 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: November 11th 2013

There’s a saying in Hollywood that if a film is bad critics blame the screenwriter, but if it’s good, it’s the director who gets the credit. There’s a certain amount of truth in that, and it’s something that would be easy to do with Pacific Rim. The action scenes are terrific, it looks amazing and the world building is impressive, but the characters feel a bit like action figures.

The problem is that the film tries to create archetypes more than people – the hero with something to overcome, the damaged love interest, the grizzled commander, the arrogant  colleague who’s convinced the hero with fail. It’s a common tactic with big tentpole films, and writers Guillermo Del Toro and Travis Beachman have certainly been thumbing through their copies of Joseph Campbell’s Hero With A Thousand Faces to try and understand the archetypes they need to fulfil the hero’s journey – from being reluctantly called to action, to a flirtation with resurrection – however the result is characters that don’t feel quite real.

Idris Elba & Rinko Kikuchi Face-off In New Pacific Rim Image

December 28, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

pacific-rim-preview-pic1A couple of weeks ago we had the first trailer for Pacific Rim, and now Warner Bros. has released a new image, giving us a look at Idris Elba as Stacker Pentecost and Rinko Kikuchi as Mako Mori, in what appears to be some sort of war room.

It’s likely the place where acts as the central control for the film’s gigantic, human-piloted robots, which are sent into battle against enormous monsters that emerge from a dimensional rip in the Pacific and attack the coasts.

Guillermo Del Toro’s Pacific Rim is certainly one of the biggest movies to look out for next summer, so expect to hear much, much more about it in the run up to its July 12th 2013 release. Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Ron Perlman, Charlie Day, Rinko Kikuchi, Burn Gorman, Diego Klattenhoff and Clifton Collins Jr. star.

Pacific Rim Giant Robot Jaeger Blueprints Online

November 30, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

The hype for next summer’s Pacific Rim has started, with the first footage arriving online yesterday and now a series of blueprints of the giant mecha robots that are central to the movie. They show off the vast humanoid bots, who are humanity’s only hope when monsters begin emerging from a portal in the Pacific and attacking the coastlines.

The monsters are huge, up to 300ft tall, and so they need an equally enormous response. In true mecha fashion, these robots, known are Jaegers, are piloted by humans.

Interestingly the footage released yesterday showed monsters, known as Kaiju, attacking in 2013, but according to dates on these images, humanity doesn’t get its response up and running until 2018 at the earliest.

Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Charlie Day and Rinko Kikuchi star in Guillermo Del Toro’s film. It’s out July 12th, 2013. Let’s hope we get a full trailer really soon, as this one is looking exciting.

First Look At Charlie Hunnam & Rinko Kikuchi In Pacific Rim

July 4, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

With Comic-Con just a week away, EW is trying to get people excited about the movies that will be making an appearance at the San Diego event. The latest issue includes a pic from Pacific Rim, Guillermo Del Toro’s film which sees men controlling giant robots going up against monsters that have arrived through a spatial rift.

STYD has scanned the image, which you can see above, which gives us our first look at Charlie Hunnam and Rinko Kikuchi, who haversome full-on battle armour, and are standing in front of machines that are presumably the way they interface with the giant robots.

First Look At Idris Elba In Guillermo Del Toro’s Pacific Rim

June 9, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

If you were hoping the first image from Guillermo Del Toro’s Pacific Rim would reveal some of the promised giant robots, you’re out of luck, as it’s actually a rather quiet image of Idris Elba wearing a black suit and carrying a helmet.

It’s not particularly revealing, especially as it doesn’t give much hint at the unique style Del Toro is known for. But it’s still our first look, and timesly as Elba is currently in cinema in Prometheus!

As well as Elba, Pacific Rim stars Charlie Hunnam, Rinko Kikuchi, and Charlie Day, Pacific Rim and is due to to open July 12, 2013. Here’s the 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.’ (Image via MovieHole)
