10 Best PACIFIC RIM Promotional Videos: Trailers, Featurettes and More

One of the great things about Pacific Rim (in theaters everywhere this Friday July 12) is that it is “spoiler-proof”: No matter how much promotional content you consume, watching the movie on the big screen will make you feel like you haven’t seen anything.

Taste a select plate of audiovisual samples, from in depth sneak peeks behind the scenes with director Guillermo Del Toro to that jaw-dropping WonderCon trailer.

“When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity’s resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving 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.”

Pacific Rim is out in 3D and 2D in select theaters and IMAX on July 12.
