There may be a sprinkling of cheese on that line, but with
Idris belting it out, that’s go to be a contender for line of the summer. So
Giant Monsters, Giant robots. You absolutely cannot have been into much
Japanese film & TV, or Manga and not be familiar with the concept. From
Godzilla (Gojira) to the outstanding ‘Mobile Suit Gundam Wing’ (seriously find
that show if you can; it is pure quality from drama to action, to idealism. One
of my all time favourite TV shows.)
Synopsis...
“From acclaimed filmmaker Guillermo del Toro comes Warner
Bros. Pictures’ and Legendary Pictures’ epic sci-fi action adventure “Pacific
Rim.” 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.”
