Pacific Rim

Known for approaching simple premises with complex creativity in design and style, Oscar^® nominated, director Guillermo Del Toro's latest sci-fi blockbuster resurrects the classic kaiju monster feature.

The script by Travis Beacham and Del Toro, based on Beacham's story, features 250 feet high Kaiju monsters emerging from the Pacific coastline, causing massive destruction and taking many lives. Humanity's last hope for survival are the Jaegers, massive robots controlled by two pilots whose minds are synched through a neural bridge, enabling them to share memories and experiences.

Portraying the characters, is an international cast. Idris Elca plays the role of the no-nonsense marshal Stacker Pentecost, the driving force behind the multinational Jaeger program, overseeing lead Jaeger co-pilots, hero Raleigh Beckett (Charlie Hunnam) and Mako Mori (Oscar^® nominee Rinko Kikuchi). Providing the well interspersed comic relief are Charlie Day as the eccentric scientist Dr. Newton Geiszler and Burn Gorman as his lead technician Herman Gottlieb. Stealing the show is Hannibal Chau as Ron Perlman, a flashy and shady black market Kaijus part vendor.

Top notch special effects with spectacular audio and visual fight sequences mark this feature, most effectively visualized in IMAX 3D. Captivating are the richly detailed CGI water scenes of engaging sea battles during swirling storms and water torrents.

The epic showdown delivers in the action front and will please genre aficionados with contagious enthusiasm.
