Per a Legendary press release, official title looks to be PACIFIC RIM: UPRISING.

I liked MAELSTROM better.

Maelstrom was much better. I'm guessing they dumbed it down for J6P.

[ redneck ] "Male Storm?" That sounds like some gay porno shit. I ain't paying moneys to see two hours of homersexural robots sticking their flash drives in their exhaust ports. [ /redneck ]

Kidding aside, yes it was a much better title!

With an "Uprising" then we can have Pacific Rim 3: Smackdown.

That title was too sexist. The studio could not secure box office champ Amy Schumer until the title was changed.

Not sure what that was a commercial for ... at first I thought it was a car commercial. Then I thought it must be for the movie. However, by the end it felt like a commercial for the video game.

The voice sounds like GLaDOS from the game Portal.

I wanted to like the first movie more than I did but found it bland. I like the cast and the director plus giant robots fighting kaiju sounds fun on paper but it somehow didn't work very well.

Guess I'll wait for a regular trailer that shows finished scenes.

Trailers sell audiences on a tone and look. Immerse me in that world, not some fucking Kanye music video.

That looked pretty awful. But sounded worse. Was that the dude from star wars?

‘Pacific Rim: Uprising’ Release Date Moved Back Again
Dave McNary Film Reporter @Variety_DMcNary
AUGUST 2, 2017 | 05:21PM PT

Legendary-Universal’s “Pacific Rim: Uprising” has been delayed yet again: moving back a month from Feb. 23 to March 23.

The sequel stars John Boyega of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” in the follow-up to 2013’s “Pacific Rim.” Steven S. DeKnight directs from a script he co-wrote with Emily Carmichael, Kira Snyder, and T.S. Nowlin from a story by Guillermo del Toro.

The cast includes Scott Eastwood, Jing Tian, Cailee Spaeny, Rinko Kikuchi, Burn Gorman, Adria Arjona, and Charlie Day.

Producers are del Toro, Jon Jashni, Femi Oguns, Mary Parent, and Thomas Tull. The film is set a decade after the original, which took place in 2025. Boyega is playing the son of Idris Elba’s character, who sacrificed his life in the first film.

“Pacific Rim,” directed by del Toro, starred Elba, Kikuchi, Day, Charlie Hunnam, and Robert Kazinsky. It was set in the near future with Earth at war with the Kaiju, monsters that emerged from an inter-dimensional portal at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. It grossed $411 million at the worldwide box office.

The sequel was shot in Australia and China. It will face competition on March 23 from Lionsgate’s revamped “Robin Hood,” Paramount’s “Action Point” and “Sherlock Gnomes,” and an untitled animated movie from Fox and Blue Sky.

If John Boyega's character sacrificed his life in the first film, how is he in this one? Grammar matters people.
