Pacific Rim: Uprising, is the 2018 sequel that takes place ten years after the events of the first movie. Jake Pentecost, son of Stacker Pentecost from the first movie, is brought into the Pan-Pacific Defense Corps (PPDC) to avoid jail time and to shut down the threat of the Shao Corporation mass-producing Jaeger Drones. The issue gets put to the side when a rogue Jaeger kills Jake’s adoptive sister Mako and it is revealed that the Precursors have created Kaijus that can take the shape of humans.Â
I must say that I am not the biggest fan of Pacific Rim as movies, however watching the first season of Pacific Rim: The Black has made me want to go back and take a look at the films again to gear up for Season 2. The first season did a great job expanding the world of Pacific Rim and further developing the Precursors and their involvement in creating the Kaijus. The trailer for Season 2 will definitely peak one’s interest, whether you are a fan of the franchise or if you are a fan of giant fighting robots in general.Â
