Here’s your chance to get a sneak peek at the monsters of Guillermo del Toro’s Pacific Rim.

Warner Bros. has released a new 4-minute featurette that gives viewers an up close and personal look inside the massive robots deployed to battle the kaijus that have emerged from the sea in the 48-year-old Mexican filmmaker’s highly anticipated film.

“Every movie has to have a portion of analog practical effects to really convey the sense of physical reality of the film,” says del Toro, before expanding on how he managed to do that for Pacific Rim.

Meanwhile, the film’s stars Idris Elba and Charlie Hunnam talk about  the challenges they faced while filming del Toro’s “torture machine.”

Pacific Rim, from Legendary Pictures, opens July 12.
