Pacific Rim First look

With a name like Jake Pentecost, it’s fitting that John Boyega’s character in Pacific Rim Uprising has a backstory that’s practically biblical.

He is the estranged son of Stacker Pentecost, Idris Elba’s character from the 2013u original, and although his father is no longer around, Jake has come home to take up the old man’s cause – kicking monster ass with giant robots.

These machines, known as Jaegers, successfully beat back an invasion of behemoth Kaiju fiends in the first movie, but a decade later the world is still a bruised and battered place. And the creatures are making a comeback.
