The world's on red alert.

A new photo in the wild from Guillermo del Toro's highly anticipated sci-fi epic, Pacific Rim, reveals it's never too early for humankind to start preparing for a futuristic war when massive monstrous creatures rise from the depths of the ocean and threaten our existence.

Enter Idris Elba and Rinko Kikuchi, who help defend the planet from pending annihilation by sending giant robots known as Jaegers to battle them.

The new image, which comes courtesy of the Lebanese Cinema Movie Guide. finds Kikuchi's untested pilot trainee getting a talking-to by Elba's Stacker Pentecost. Let's hope he's telling her to straighten up and fly right!

Pacific Rim invades theaters on July 12, 2013.
