MAJOR SPOILER QUESTION:
How much of the Kaiju universe do you see in the movie? Is it really brief? The concept art of it looks trippy as hell
You don't get to see much of their universe, but it is otherworldly/trippy.
They give away more than the others did. Nothing that is egregious.

I love his Person of Interest soundtrack.
Warner Bros. Pictures, get this trailer in front of many eyeballs as possible between now and July 12th.
The movie's screenwriter also seems to be elated with this piece of marketing material.
Goddammit, WB, if this movie fails, I'll fucking kill you.

The trailer in the OP is Trailer #3, not #4. So I guess the thread title is wrong? That said, the two trailers seem identical to me.

The link I used in the OP says #3 but it is actually the fourth trailer. The third trailer is what aired on TV last week.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Finally! This is the type of trailer they should have been putting on tv and in front of other movies for months now. WB finally got it right here.
You'll know the theme by the end of the movie.

seriously. it takes a shit on the other ones.
looks really fun...finally!
one thing though: whedon was being taken apart by everyone here for his tv-looking cinematography in avengers during the dialogue scenes. but this looks cheap as hell too outside of the awesome kaiju/mech scenes.
it just looks off during the scenes with elba and jax
That scene looks soap operay when you see it alone like that. Same with the brain scene. Charlie Day is pretty good in this movie and they have really held back on showing any of the dialogue or how the characters interact. It's a lot better than it looks.
It was fine for me, but I didn't mind the Avenger dialogue scenes either so take that as you will.
I was worried about Day's acting though, but he was good so I wouldn't worry about him.
while you are right, i wonder if that is intentional? i would think these professionals would notice that. any movie "know hows" chime in on that, is this the work of a bad cinematographer? i personally dont mind

Great trailer. Can't wait for the 12th. I'm watching this and playing the new Civ V expansion.

well whedon had the atonement guy for avengers and it still looked tv-ish so director has mad input on that front. i dunno though.
and @JudgeDredd: charlie day and idris elba are the two i'm most excited to see in this film haha so good to see charlie wasn't annoying.
You may be referring to the aspect ratio because this is the commonality between the two that immediately springs to mind.
Both The Avengers and Pacific Rim were shot in 1.85:1. What does this mean? Refer below for a visual reference.
For the sake of comparison, Man of Steel was shot in the 2.35:1 aspect ratio. Most of the films the predate the 1950's were shot in 1.33:1. This aspect ratio also happens to be the standard framing for televisions, whereas 16:9 (1.77:1) is the aspect ratio for high definition television.
While the difference may seem minor, there's a major disparity here. It dictates the feeling you're going to convey with your framing. The composition of your frame and dynamic of your shoot will be predicated by which aspect ratio you choose to film in. Both offer unique challenges.
Director of Photography Seamus McGarvey's thoughts follow below.
Source: Avengers Assemble!
Pacific Rim boasts bombastic visuals and gigantic beings that vertically scale to profound heights. Perhaps it was filmed in 1.85:1 for similar reasons.
July 12th 2013 in the US.

"The deeper the bond the better you fight"
Oh my holy fuck this line gives me goosebumps
It's like someone went back in time, found my 13 years old self, gave me him a mountain of blow and told me - "go, write a movie".
And I mean it as nothing but a compliment.
Well it certainly does look like a 13 year old is responsible for it.

I'm going to beat 13 year old you to a pulp if this movie fails.
With a rock 'em sock 'em robot.
It is for the 10 year old in all of us. I am going to make sure I drag my cousin's kids to this if they weren't planning on going already.

Not sure what king of Kool-aid you guys are drinking but that trailer feels basically the same as all the others. Even ends with that stupid apocalypse cancelled line.
Btw, anyone think the humans look dumb as shit strapped into the machine? You mean to tell me they couldn't invent a better way to control the mechs?

Watched the trailer, read this, now I'm bouncing off the fucking walls.
Haven't been this excited to see a movie for a long time.
You want realism in a movie about giant robots who bash giant monsters with their rocket fists?
I for one am grateful that they didn't seem to have taken the Nolan "serious" approach.
Between realism and using an oil tanker as a bat, I'll go with the latter every fucking time.
