8 Upcoming Sci-Fi Movies That Could Be Better Than Star Wars: The Last Jedi

3. Pacific Rim: Uprising

Star Wars may have Lightsaber battles and X-Wing escapades, but does it have giant robots battling giant monsters? It might have something like that, actually, but Pacific Rim: Uprising is bound to do it better.

If that's the sort of thing that does it for you, then the long-awaited sequel to Guillermo del Toro's cult slugfest might actually be your favourite movie ever.

Star Wars actor John Boyega is among the returning cast for the much-delayed follow-up, but there'll also be a bunch of new Jaeger hotshots on hand to protect humanity from whatever The Breach throws up this time.

They're headed up by Scott Eastwood, but it's yet to be revealed what kind of screen-filling monstrosities the good guys will be up against this time.
