10 Potentially Awesome Sci-Fi Movies Coming In 2018
7. Pacific Rim: Uprising
What’s It About?
It’s been ten years since the uber destructive Battle of the Breach and the calm is about to be broken by a new (probably bigger) Kaiju attack. Thankfully, the Jaeger program has also got bigger, with it now being a global mega force in all things defensive. Donning the suit this time around is John Boyega’s Jake Pentecost – son of the original's Stacker Pentecost - in a plot that will see the world uniting to fight this new threat.
Who’s In It?
Boyana is joined by some other newcomers in Scott Eastwood and Bruce Gorman and this time around Daredevil showrunner, Steven S. Deknight, is overseeing all the colossal action.
Why It’ll Be Awesome
The original Pacific Rim was a big, old-fashioned monster movie that set the foundations for what could be a popular franchise. The trailer promises lots of what we saw in 2013 – monsters, big splashes and powered-up suits – but there are whispers that an expanded universe could be created off the back of this sequel, or, more intriguing still, could be incorporated into the MonsterVerse alongside Godzilla and co. Epic.
