Pacific Rim has a pretty strong following of people who loved it. I found it to be a flawed spectacle that left me wishing for a sequel so that they could make a better movie. And now we have that sequel. After its appearance at NYCC today the first trailer for Pacific Rim: Uprising has landed, and it looks like a movie with Jaegers fighting Kaiju with ridiculous weapons so we know we've got that down.
With del Toro handing over directing duties Steven S. DeKnight taking over we're definitely getting a bit brighter, more comicy take it appears. The Jaegers are definitely a bit more streamlined in design and this trailer leans towards a more action heavy movie with an almost Saturday morning cartoon feel. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad one. The plot (full synopsis below) seems a bit more straight forward as well, not the original was all that complex. It'll be interesting to see if they can come up with something less generic than the characters of the first film or if we're just going to get another monster fighting film. I'll probably be fine with either, but I'd love for something more original to come out of this franchise.
