Mecha Monday : Battle of Tokyo Pacific Rim Uprising

The first Pacific Rim film was written and directed by Oscar-winner Guillermo del Toro and starred Idris Elba, Rinko Kikuchi, and Charlie Hunnam. Pacific Rim: Uprising followed five years later in 2018, directed by Steven S. DeKnight and starring John Boyega, Charlie Day, Cailee Spaeny, and Scott Eastwood. Both films tell stories of pilots who operate gigantic robot suits called Jaegers. The Jaegers were created to fight the alien Kaiju, who rose from the seas with the intention of destroying all life.
