an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

This movie was so amazing and it's so very disappointing that so many people will miss out on it and refuse to watch it just because it's animated instead of live actors. I think this movie does a really great job of capturing the many aspects of oppression and rebellion, perhaps not in the best way, but still in a uniquely striking fashion. Having prior knowledge to Gundam's Universal Century enriches the experience even more. Char's transformation is definitely a major aspect, but there's also so much more. The relationship between Amuro and Char has evolved and come much farther; it's at a point in this film that keeps you riveted, wether you be fond of Amuro or tend to lean towards Char. I would recommend this movie to anyone, regardless. It may seem like just an action movie or cartoon at just a glance, but once you see the movie and get a feel for the story and everything that goes on, I'm convinced you'll be satisfied afterwards, provided that you just have an open mind. And obviously I'm talking more towards everyone else out there, and not so much my fellow anime fans.

This is without a doubt the best Gundam ever.I have seen some of the original series but I did not see Zeta Gundam since it was never released in North America(which makes me wonder how people write reviews about it) I think the story could not have worked without Quess. It could have worked without Rezin Schneider, Kayra and Astonage. This is the best movie I ever saw. See it, if the romance annoys you at least you'll like the animation.

The Finally showdown between Amuro and Char in the only way it could be. This movie is for the real Gundam fans, although there are those that may be able to appreciate this movie too. And when you put this movie into the Gundam time line those mobile suits are the state of the art of mobile suits. I really don't know why the ones in Gundam Wing aren't using the 360 degree view cockpits seem like a step down to me.The characters and the story was all Gundam. Char and his master plan for human improvement, and Amuro who still believed in the good within man. The story however didn't really need Quess, other than to show of the influence Char could hold on some people I suppose.

If you have been following the Gundam saga (tv series), this is one animated feature you could not miss. Even if you are not a Gundam fan, you will still enjoy the art works.
