4. The Cast Is Amazing
There's no denying that there's an amazing lineup of people all queued for this film - aside from the sheer awesome that is regular Del Toro collaborator Ron Perlman who takes on black market organ dealer Hannibal Chau, they have plenty of acting kudos available in the leads. All-round cool guy Idris Elba is leading the robotic fighting operators as Stacker Pentecost with support in the heroic duo of Charlie Hunnam and Rinko Kikuchi as a diametrically opposed robot operators (the cocky Raleigh Becket and the more pensive Mako Mori). There's also some fantastic support in the form of Burn Gorman and Charlie Day as odd couple scientists, and Ellen McLain who is best known for voicing the villainous GLADoS in the
Portal video games, this time reimagined as the voice of the resistance herself.
