Pacific Rim is basically a big-budget homage to classic Japanese mechs and giant monster movies. So if you're a fan of Evangelion, Voltron, Godzilla, Mothra, or Gamera, then this film is probably for you. Just to clarify, the piloted robots in this film are called "jaegers" while the giant monsters are called "kaiju." Kaiju is a Japanese word that many people use to refer to Japanese giant monsters.Pacific Rim is an upcoming 2013 American science fiction monster film directed by Guillermo del Toro and written by del Toro and Travis Beacham. The film is set in the near future where soldiers pilot giant robots into battle against invading giant monsters who have risen from beneath the ocean.
The film was produced by Legendary Pictures and will be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. The film will be released in 3-D and IMAX 3D on July 12, 2013.
So is anyone else going to see the movie? It promises epic action scenes, beautifully designed monsters and robots, and a well-developed human story that ties it all in.
