WonderCon Trailer For ‘Pacific Rim’ Released Online

Last month, director Guillermo Del Toro debuted a brand new awesome trailer for Pacific Rim at WonderCon and revealed that he only planned to show it there and at CinemaCon. Well, Warner Bros. has now decided to release the action-packed trailer featuring “2,500 tons of awesome” footage and you can check it out below.

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 hits theaters July 12, 2013.
