Final 'Pacific Rim' Trailer Focuses On The Humans

Guillermo Del Toro's Pacific Rim won't be out for another week or so, but some of its nomenclature has already begun to permeate geek culture. "Kaiju" and "Jaeger," words some fans were very familiar with, are becoming more common in geek circles as Warner Bros. gets closer to releasing their massive monster vs. robot movie on July 12.

Lots of the talk over the past few days, though, has been surrounding the non-geek audience and their knowledge/anticipation of the film. The "tracking," as it's called, is reportedly low for a film of this magnitude. Some blame that on the fact we know about the monsters and robots, but we don't know the humans of Pacific Rim. Names like "Stacker Pentecost" and "Hannibal Chau" aren't quite as recognizable as the Jaeger name "Gipsy Danger."

This latest, and probably final trailer feels like a direct answer to that criticism. While there's still plenty of giant action, we learn about the neural connection jaeger pilots have to one another, see more of Idris Elba, Charlie Day, Ron Perlman, and Rinko Kikuchi, and even get a hint at the demons that Charlie Hunnam's character, Raleigh Beckett, must face. Check it out below.

Here's the human-centric trailer for Pacific Rim.

This trailer, along with some other marketing, will hopefully help people know that there's more than big fights to be found in the movie. Ultimately, if Guillermo del Toro delivers the movie we've been imagining in our heads, the new buzz will make the film a success.
