Universal Pictures has released the first full trailer for Pacific Rim Uprising, the robots vs. monsters sequel to Guillermo del Toro's 2013 sci-fi film. There's a lot of exciting robot action sequences, and it looks like Jake Pentecost (played by John Boyega) will have a team of robot pilots he's leading, and we get to see the biggest Kaiju we've seen yet.
One of the issues in the first film was how a lot of the scenes were too dark, but the trailer shows that the sequel is visually brighter. However, the CGI quality doesn't look as good as the first, so hopefully they'll improve that before it hits theaers on March. I'm glad that we get to hear the voice of Glados from Portal again.

Read the whole synopsis below:
The globe-spanning conflict between otherworldly monsters of mass destruction and the human-piloted super-machines built to vanquish them was only a prelude to the all-out assault on humanity in Pacific Rim Uprising.
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 being directed by Steven S. DeKnight (Daredevil). The film is set to release in theaters on March 23, 2018.
