The Trailer For Pacific Rim Arrives Online

Pacific Rim

And boy, is it damn good. But then again, Guillermo Del Toro doing a giant, world busting monster film? What else should we truly expect?

The first trailer has arrived for Guillermo Del Toro’s next film, Pacific Rim, and it’s an absolute stunner. Following the story of a group tasked with stopping the proliferation of monsters, born within this very planet, by using giant robot avatars, Pacific Rim looks chock full of scope and fantastic action set pieces, led by what appears to be a breathtaking sense of weight given to both the beasts and their hunters. Take the last punch given by one of the robots. There is such a sense of power given to that very punch, that it appears as though Del Toro is giving all of his skill over to this gigantic project.

With a July 11th release date looming, expect quite a bit more from the film to hit, but if you aren’t sold at this point, I don’t know what else you need to see. I know I can’t wait to see this thing on the absolute biggest screen humanly possible.
