This week Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures released what they call the final trailer for Pacific Rim.  We thought we caught a glimpse of it on the MTV Independence Day Marathon of videos today, which, by the way, was the first time we’ve found something awesome on MTV to watch in years that actually tied together music and TV.  Here’s what we saw:

Your long wait is almost over.  Pacific Rim hits theaters next weekend, on July 11, 2013.
