The story is set in a future where Earth is at war with the Kaiju, monsters that emerged from an interdimensional portal at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. To fight them, humanity builds the Jaegers—giant machines controlled by two pilots whose minds are joined in a neural bridge. As the war nears its end, a washed-up pilot and an untested trainee team up to save the world. Why Watch It? Incredible CGI and massive scale.
