A sequel to Pacific Rim (2013, directed by Guillermo del Toro), this flick marks the directorial debut of Steven S. DeKnight with most of the main players returning to their original roles, the theme of which was set in the future, when Earth was at war with the Kaiju colossal sea monsters which had emerged from an inter dimensional portal on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean! The visual effects, action sequences, and nostalgic style of that film were highly applauded!
