To Fight Monsters, We Created Monsters.
A simple, yet effective tag line that tells you all you need to know about the crushing chaos of visionary filmmaker Guillermo del Toro’s Japanese-inspired creature feature. This is another stunning-looking summer blockbuster that could very well be an absolute classic coming from the man who gave us the HELLBOY franchise and personal masterpieces PANS LABYRINTH and THE DEVIL’S BACKBONE.
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.
