    Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim was a geek's fever dream, mixing together elements of kaiju (giant monster) films, huge robots and anime. Now, the cinema gods have blessed us with a sequel, Pacific Rim Uprising. This time, it's John Boyega (Star Wars: The Force Awakens) in the starring role, playing the son of Idris Elba's Stacker Pentecost from the first film. He's a former Jaeger pilot turned criminal who finds himself as part of the resistance fighting against a new wave of monsters. And as you'd imagine, they're even bigger than what we saw before.
