Rise Up!

John Boyega (Star Wars: The Force Awakens) stars as the rebellious Jake Pentecost, a once-promising Jaeger pilot whose legendary father gave his life to secure humanity's victory against the monstrous “Kaiju.” Jake has since abandoned his training only to become caught up in a criminal underworld. But when an even more unstoppable threat is unleashed to tear through our cities and bring the world to its knees, he is given one last chance to live up to his father's legacy by his estranged sister, Mako Mori (Rinko Kikuchi)-who is leading a brave new generation of pilots that have grown up in the shadow of war.

As they seek justice for the fallen, their only hope is to unite together in a global uprising against the forces of extinction. Jake is joined by gifted rival pilot Lambert (The Fate of the Furious' Scott Eastwood) and 15-year-old Jaeger hacker Amara (newcomer Cailee Spaeny), as the heroes of the PPDC become the only family he has left. Rising up to become the most powerful defense force to ever walk the earth, they will set course for a spectacular all-new adventure on a towering scale. Pacific Rim Uprising is directed by Steven S. DeKnight (Netflix's Da­redevil, STARZ's Spartacus) and also stars Jing Tian, Burn Gorman, Adria Arjona and Charlie Day.

Critic Reviews:

• “It's 10 years later and another rock 'em sock 'em battle between the Jaegers and the Kaiju is in the offing.” – Toronto Star

• “From top to bottom, Uprising is beautifully conceived and filled with heart. The moment John Boyega appears on screen, what weighed Pacific Rim down the first time around becomes obvious.” – Shadow and Act

• “Overall, Pacific Rim Uprising should give fans of the original more of what they loved the first time around and more of what people who didn't like the original wish it would have had.” – Deseret News
