I went in with only mid-level expectations. I liked the original well enough, but it was pretty hole-y. And then to expect a sequel to be as good or better? Sequels of these action robot movies aren't ever even good. They just make bigger robots and crush more buildings right? But while there is plenty of that (big robots and building crushing) we also have some fun dialogue, at least an attempt at back story for Boyega, and new characters that have pretty good chemistry. Most of this is better than the original. The story starts 10 years after the defeat of the Kaiju and the world has basically rebuilt from the destruction. A global security council operates the Jaeger Corp and are considering the adoption of drone Jaeger's to replace the multi-pilot mind-meld requirements of the current batch. What could go wrong? Overall, this is a better balance of story-telling and epic battle than the original. Well done.
