If you are going in expecting to see a variation on Pacific Rim in the sequel, then forget about it.
If you're going in for an action blockbuster involving Jaegers, kaiju, and rah-rah action, then, sure.
( a brief summary of major spoilers; mate, do not yell at me, you were warned )
I'd say that the things that gave Pacific Rim its soul and which differentiated it so clearly from the main breed of action movies, are by and large missing in Uprising. It's an action movie with a few character moments, rather than characters who've found themselves in the middle of the action.
That makes a lot of difference.
