Gaint Mecha Movie!... is not Gundam... is not Evangelion... Is Pacifc Rim
Pacific Rim is an upcoming science fiction film directed
by Guillermo del Toro based on a screenplay by Travis Beacham. The film is set
in a world where soldiers piloting giant robots battle against giant monsters
who have mysteriously risen from beneath the ocean. The film will be an homage
to Japanese giant monster films, known as Kaiju worldwide. Del Toro has said
the film will be "a beautiful poem to giant monsters".
The film will be released in 3-D and IMAX 3D on July 12,
2013.
Plot:
When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju,
start rising from the sea, a war begins that takes millions of lives and
consumes humanity's resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a
special type of weapon is devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are
controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural
bridge. But even the Jaegers prove 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.
