When the first teaser for “Pacific Rim” came out, people rushed to label it a combination of “Transformers” and “Avatar,” and perhaps because many still perceive it like that, Warner Bros. has released a brand new trailer.

Check it out in full and in HD above.

While previous teasers focused more on the clash between the giant alien monsters come from the sea and the giant robots man created to fight them, this one aims to better explain the mythology.

Moreover, it also makes it clear that these robots aren’t just robots because they’re connected to the man who controls them, and, consequently, are like an extension of them.

Of course, the trailer also includes plenty of action scenes, which should be enough to get all fans of the genre rushing to theaters.

“Pacific Rim” will be out in 3D on July 12.
