PACIFIC RIM - 14 Minute "Making Of" Featurette
The reviews for Pacific Rim have been pouring out, and most that I've read have been extremely positive. The movie finally hits theaters this weekend, and after all the positive buzz I've read, I'm even more excited to see the movie! In anticipation of the film's release, Warner Bros. has released a 14-minute "Making Of" featurette filled with footage from the film, behind the scenes footage, and interviews with director Guillermo del Toro, the cast, and crew. If the reviews I've seen are right, Pacific Rim is going to deliver on the promise of absolute awesomeness.
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.
