Pacific Rim: Uprising is almost upon us. The bright and sunny sequel to the dark, rainsoaked Guillermo Del Toro original is set to rally the troops for an all-out brawl against the other-dimensional Kaiju, who have returned to the post-war-torn world believed to have been saved from their monstrous wrath in the last installment.
