New 'Pacific Rim: Uprising' Trailer: Can the Sequel Live Up to the Original?

It's got those giant robot mechs--aka "jaegers"--and even a few crazy-ass kaiju. Star Wars: The Force Awakens star John Boyega toplines this time around, and Rinko Kikuchi and Charlie Day have returned to reprise their roles. Gone, though, are the original's director Guillermo del Toro (he's listed as a producer and story writer), stars Idris Elba and Charlie Hunnam, and screenwriter Travis Beacham. In Pacific Rim terms: the movie might have a new pilot, but the mech's got the same wiring. However, Uprising, which takes place 10 years after the events of the first Pacific Rim, has a strange legacy to uphold.
