Pacific Rim international TV spot: Let’s go fishing!

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Here’s the first international TV spot for Guillermo del Toro’s PACIFIC RIM. The ad doesn’t offer much in the way of new imagery, but it’s a kickass 30 seconds anyway. I do enjoy the line “let’s go fishing” very much for some reason.

From Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros., PACIFIC RIM goes like this:

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, starring Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Charlie Day, Ron Perlman and Rinko Kikuchi, roars into theaters July 12.
