Pacific Rim Movies - To fight monsters... we created monsters of our own.
Pacific Rim is a 2013 American science fiction film directed by Guillermo del Toro, written by del Toro and Travis Beacham, and starring Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Rinko Kikuchi, Charlie Day, Robert Kazinsky, Max Martini, and Ron Perlman. The film is set in the 2020s, when Earth is under attack by Kaiju, colossal monsters which have emerged from a portal on the ocean floor. To combat the monsters, humanity unites to create the Jaegers: gigantic humanoid mecha, each controlled by two pilots whose minds are joined by a neural bridge. Focusing on the war's later days, the story follows Raleigh Becket, a washed-up Jaeger pilot called out of retirement and teamed with rookie pilot Mako Mori in a last-ditch effort to defeat the Kaiju. Del Toro envisioned Pacific Rim as an earnest, colorful adventure story, with an "incredibly airy and light feel", in contrast to the "super-brooding, super-dark, cynical summer movie". The director focused on "big, beautiful, sophisticated visuals" and action that would satisfy an adult audience, but has stated his "real hope" is to introduce the kaiju and mecha genres to a generation of children. While the film draws heavily on these genres, it avoids direct references to previous works. Del Toro intended to create something original but "madly in love" with its influences, instilled with "epic beauty" and "operatic grandeur". The film is produced by Legendary Pictures and distributed by Warner Bros. It was released to generally positive reviews on July 12, 2013 including releases in 3-D and IMAX 3D. THE CAST.... Charlie Hunnam as Raleigh Becket Diego Klattenhoff as Yancy Becket Idris Elba as Stacker Pentecost Rinko Kikuchi as Mako Mori Charlie Day as Dr. Newton Geiszler Burn Gorman as Dr. Hermann Gottlieb Max Martini as Herc Hansen Robert Kazinsky as Chuck Hansen Clifton Collins, Jr. as Tendo Choi Ron Perlman as Hannibal Chau Ellen McLain as Jaeger AI Charles Luu, Lance Luu and Mark Luu as the Wei Tang triplets Robert Maillet and Heather Doerksen as Aleksis and Sasha Kaidanovsky FANS 1.

I want to see this because of del Toro and the cast seems pretty solid, but the promos I've seen have been terrible and awfully short. The PR department sucks...

Watched this today and loved it. It was completely predictable, which I didn't like, but I was still entertained.

^ Same here. There was nothing groundbreaking about the story or the characters, but it was a lot of fun and nicely executed, and didn't feature some of the most annoying tropes.
They have just confirmed a sequel, btw: Quote:
