While Godzilla has mostly cornered the market on kaiju movies over the last several decades, but 2013 saw a new, original take on the giant monsters emerge into the mainstream. Famed director Guillermo del Toro put his own spin on kaiju attacks, bringing more of a sci-fi flare by giving the monsters a formidable opponent in the form of enormous, human-operated robots<\/a>. The result is an endlessly entertaining movie that has only gotten better with age, and just found its way to a new streaming home on Peacock<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Last week, Peacock added del Toro\u2019s Pacific Rim<\/a> to its lineup, bringing the service a serious boost in the way of sci-fi action. On the same day, Peacock also added Pacific Rim\u2018s sequel to its roster, but the follow-up (which wasn\u2019t directed bu del Toro) doesn\u2019t come close to its predecessor in terms of quality.<\/p>\n

Pacific Rim: Uprising stars John Boyega and Scott Eastwood as the leaders of a new generation of Jaeger pilots, several years after the events of the first movie. While Uprising shares a lot of connective tissue with the original, the story is largely standalone, and it\u2019s not really necessary to watch after Pacific Rim. <\/p>\n

While Peacock getting this movies is certainly exciting for a lot of fans, they won\u2019t be available on the service for very long. These are basically one-month rentals, so to speak, as both films in the Pacific Rim series will be exiting the service at the end of December.<\/p>\n

New Movies on Peacock<\/p>\n

Pacific Rim may be one of the biggest titles to hit Peacock in December, but it\u2019s far from the only new arrival film worth watching. The streamer also added titles like 10 Cloverfield Lane, Gladiator, Creed, and Jingle All the Way. <\/p>\n
