New Action-Packed TV Spot for ‘Pacific Rim’

I pity those that compare the upcoming Pacific Rim to Michael Bay’s Transformers franchise. However, a 30-second TV spot may not be the best evidence to use to convince those people they are going to be vastly different.

TV spots are about exciting the people. And what do the people want? Action. There is plenty of it packed into the newest spot for Pacific Rim. It is available to view below.

The movie, which is directed by Guillermo del Toro, stars Charlie Hunnam (Green Street Hooligans) and Idris Elba (HBO’s The Wire) and is set for release July 12, 2013. It promises to be an action-filled man vs. machine movie that pits giant robots against each other.

Okay, so it sounds a lot like the Transformers…but it has del Toro at the helm. Is that good enough?
