‘Pacific Rim’ sees colossal creatures, known as Kuiju, rise from the deep to give humanity an apocalyptic arse-kicking. Sensible as ever, mankind retaliates by constructing equally oversized robots, dubbed Jaegers, to take on the massive monsters at their own game.

‘Pacific Rim’, starring Charlie Hunnam, Rinko Kikuchi and Idris Elba, storms in to UK cinemas 12 July 2013.
