IGN has a Pacific Rim featurette up with Guillermo del Toro and the cast offering a look at the “drift,” when the pilots’ brains lock together in a neural bridge to control the Jaegers. It’s sort of like Xbox One, except… not really. Anyway, it’s another thing to get you excited for this thing, which will hit your local theaters on July 12th.

HT: IGN; Legendary Pictures owns Nerdist Industries, which remains editorially independent
