Pacific Rim features this crazy futuristic tech that allows to people to share a soul, share their memories, their thoughts, and their experiences.
Why is the movie not just about that?
I mean, robots fighting monsters is sweet, granted, but this is some revolutionary technology with mind-blowing existential ramifications. It deserves more than just, "oh yeah, this exists too…now back to the cage match!"
No idea what I’m going on about? It’s all explained in this new Pacific Rim featurette:
The sci-fi action homage to Japanese Kaiju films stars Charlie Hunnam, Rinko Kikuchi, Idris Elba, Charlie Day, Max Martini, and Ron Perlman.
Guillermo Del Toro directs the film, co-writing the script with Travis Beacham.
Pacific Rim comes to theaters July 12.
