Pacific Rim: Born To Win

More than Iron Man 3 or Star Trek: Into Darkness, Guillermo del Toro’s Pacific Rim was high on my list of summer movies to watch this year. As much as I was looking forward to the Superman reboot Man of Steel. The trailers promised something totally incredible that was also a lot of fun to watch because of the movies roots in the genre it was set in.

Large monsters à la kaiju? Check.

Large controlled robots à la mecha anime? Check.

Big bad-ass action scenes? Check.

Pseudo science with goofy scientists? Check.

End of the world? Check.

So in all of this, the promise is great. In a way, this isn’t something that we haven’t seen before. But still, it is something that that is completely different. Why, you ask. Well, hit the break to find out!
