'We created Monsters, to fight Monsters' the tagline for the film alone had me half sold on going to see this movie and then I saw the trailer, let’s just say I have the popcorn ready and waiting. Pacific Rim is the upcoming film from Guillermo Del Toro and it stars Charlie Hunnam as Raleigh Beckett and Idris Elba as Stacker Pentecost.
In every other film that I can think of the monsters come from the sky but in Pacific Rim they come from the see and are known as Kaiju. The monsters which the humans created are basically massive robots called Jaegers, think Iron Man meets The Iron Giant but on steroids.
However over time the Jaegers become more and more ineffective against the Kaiju and it is down to a former pilot, (Hunnam), and an untested trainee Mako Mori (Rinko Kikuchi). Both men are put in charge of a legendary but obsolete Jaeger as the human races last hope.
With a strong cast, a great director and some of the best visuals I have seen in a film for years, judging from the trailer, this film could be the Man film of the year. Hunnam and Elba are two fantastic actors capable of shouldering the load of such a massive film. The film also features Ron Perlman, but Charlie Hunnam is in it so you already knew that.
This film looks to be a contender for an Oscar for Visual Effects however the only downside to it, for me anyway is that it’s in 3D. It is due for release on July 12 2013, and if all goes to plan it could be a future ReelRecommends
