Hope you're not PACIFIC RIM'd out! Ah, how could you be? The flick keeps on delivering the marketing goods; we saw the latest trailer a few days ago, followed by a badass new banner. Now we've got the official one-sheet for the Guillermo del Toro movie, which you can see in full below.
Interesting that this poster leaves out the monsters altogether in favor of a fleet of robots. I suspect we'll see the creatures get their own poster somewhere down the line, what do you think?
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 opens on July 12th.
