The first time I heard about Pacific Rim I could not wait to see it! The movie had everything that I wanted to see on the big screen: robots, monsters, and robots fighting monsters. This was my childhood dreams realized on the big screen and hearing that Guillermo del Toro was involved was made it that more exciting.
If you have not seen the first Pacific Rim, take a moment and check it out. It's a fun movie with a lot of action and some pretty amazing fighting scenes between the Jaegers and the Kaju. Pacific Rim: Uprising takes place 10 years after the original one and I am sad I never got to see it on the big screen. This is a movie that needs to be seen on a big screen to truly experience it.
While I have not seen the sequel here is the official word about it:
In Pacific Rim Uprising directed by Steven S. DeKnight, John Boyega (Star Wars: The Force Awakens) stars as the rebellious Jake Pentecost, a once-promising Jaeger pilot whose legendary father gave his life to secure humanity’s victory against the monstrous Kaiju. Jake has since abandoned his training only to become caught up in a criminal underworld. But when an even more unstoppable threat is unleashed to tear through our cities and bring the world to its knees, he is given one last chance to live up to his father’s legacy. Jake is joined by gifted rival pilot Lambert (The Fate of the Furious’ Scott Eastwood), 15-year-old Jaeger hacker Amara (newcomer Cailee Spaeny), returning veterans Charlie Day (“It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia”), Rinko Kikuchi (Pacific Rim), Burn Gorman (The Dark Knight Rises) and a talented crew of fiercely young cadets. The international cast also includes Tian Jing (Kong: Skull Island) and Adria Arjona (“Emerald City”). Rising up to become the most powerful defense force to ever walk the earth, they set course for a spectacular all-new adventure on a towering scale.
Pacific Rim: Uprising comes out on digital release on June 5, 2018, as well as on 4K Ultra HD, 3D Blu-ray, Blu-ray, DVD and On Demand on June 19, 2018 from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment.
