While the opening scene, which serves only as back - story and
general reasons as to why it takes so long for Raleigh (Charlie Hunnam) to return to the Jaeger
game, is fluff for the film and even
in the moment felt unnecessary as opposed to just being
retro - actively less awesome than the other greater action sequences.
But, if you enjoy Kemco's RPGs or
retro RPGs
in general (and enjoy breaking
games to the point where you can easily one - shot the final boss without much grinding), it's worth a look.
