| I wasn't exactly sober when I saw the last 30 minutes of the movie. That alone probably made me rate it a point higher than I would have. I still enjoyed it overall. |

| Think of it this way. The flower is a symbolism of life. Maybe. I don't know. I already got trolled by BSS fansub at the beginning of the movie, and then got trolled again by the movie itself at the end. So I tried! Try to find a reason of this trolling..SO I don't have to feel like I just got "heavily trolled.." :P |

| I agree... When I saw this movie at AX 2011, I was super pumped and excited to see how the climax of such a silly plot will be reconciled. Then the battle suddenly stopped and a fucking flower appears with everyone saying "NOW WE'S UNDERSTANDS". I felt like a midget jumped me and bitchslapped my face and then ran off. The epilogue was even worse. What the fuck? That doesn't resolve anything. All the shit about understanding is ideal and reasonably the most peaceful solution, but in the end, THAT WAS ALL THAT WAS SHOWN. There was no use of words to enact action, but just continuous stream of bullshit saying that they should understand each other. The entire hall where the movie was shown was like "FUCK YEAH LETS GO SETSUNA!" when he was going into the core, and then when the flower showed up and the credits started rolling, I heard A LOT of "WTFs, HUHs, and WHATs". |

| Ahh sunrise, you and your trolling. I do not even acknowlege this as part of gundam 00. This movie was full of pointless fanservice. I admit the fighting scenes were done pretty well, yet i just couldnt help but think that it was pretty stupid and at some point it just felt like gundams shooting at weird metal rocks. |
| This is the worst anime movie I've ever seen. That about sums it up. |
| Dermatitus have plagued men for millenia. Peace, THERE IS NO CURE. |

| Only way they could make this better in my opinion is by making a OVA to show the epilogue of the other characters or simply by getting a time machine jumping in it and make the whole film different or at least make a better ending. |
| I found it really funny that they introduced a new character only to kill him off, I mean come on this movie ruined the 00 series for me completely. I wasn't expecting anything funny yet I could only laugh at all the fighting scenes, I liked how there was a bit of horror. Note to self, nothing could possibly make up for the mistake that is this movie. |
| What a disastrous ending. First 2 hours = 7 Ending = 3 Average it out and you get a nice fat 5 for a rating. Thanks for all the laughs, Gundam 00. |

| To be honest, I wasn't expecting anything special in terms of plot or characters; I watched this movie to see giant mechs engage in awkward asexual intercourse with giant lasers flying everywhere. However, you can't help but feel kinda nauseous after the movie literally and repeatedly bashes you over the head with the underlying (read as bloody obvious) message of understanding. I reckon they handled that quite badly. I could not sympathise with a bunch of flying dildos that mated with the Silver Surfer. The entire point of Gundam is to provide the viewer with an unbiased view of the realities of war; viewing both sides as living breathing humans and exploring what makes them work under a backdrop of war. Of course, seeing mechs explode in space is another major draw. Also, we know next to nothing about the ELS themselves. Are they like the zerg with a hive mind? Does each individual cell possess a consciousness? Are they actually the illegitimate children of the Silver Surfer and a dildo? What the hell is Setsuna now? Will he start serving Galactus or something? What happens to humans after they merge with the ELS? There is nowhere near enough time in a movie slot to explain anything. I couldn't get behind the ELS at all. I think that the normal formula which pit to factions of human together would have been better, but exactly how they would play that out would be problematic. By now, Sunrise have more or less run through every possible scenario involving warring human factions. I personally have no idea how to put a new and interesting twist to it, but then again, the scriptwriters are paid thousands to find stuff like that so I expect more. Also, random characters shoved in forno reason. Did they just shove Mena in so they could pay off the seiyu who was on a contract for any and all G00 shows? Her character was completely unnecessary to the movie. Descartes, I thought, was wasted potential. Made him just to kill him and show how overpowered the ELS are. I'll just end here. I can't be bothered to rant more. |

| Same here..my reaction when i watched the ending was, "IS THIS A FUCKING JOKE?!" This just ruined all of Gundam 00 for me and to think it was my favorite Gundam series....FUCK you..i wish i never watched this DX |

Pretty much my reaction it was a huge slap in the face seeing as how I preferred other characters over Setsuna and Marina. I really wanted to know what happened to them especially Saji and Louise since they were my two favorite characters in this to not see a conclusion to their story pissed me off same for Alle's and Marie's story. |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |

Except it was about the time when the new Inovator was killed off for no reason. Not even to be brought back in some form to be used as a proper plot propelent. IF YOUR GOING TO DO DEEP SCI FI FUCKING DO IT RIGHT. Not some lame Orson Scott Card fanfic. |
| I know we shouldn't hate.I understand the lesson! And I really enjoyed the fights, AND the ELS being difficult as hell to fight against. BUT! But, ELS seemed so savage that it's difficult to see them, a bunch of crystals, having empathy or maybe sadness. They tried to destroy Earth! And also, not enough Quanta gundam. |

Mister said: I feel insulted now. Whoever made this actually tricked me into watching it. Gundam, I am disappoint. Obviously, you don't read Bleach. Joking aside, this movie ain't crap as most of you want it to be. You guys need to think outside the box sometime! Gundam franchise is expanding. It has many different shows, and any mecha fan can find something that they enjoy. For once in a while there's something that brings a message, a good one (even if the movie isn't mind blowing while doing that), and what people do is shut themselves and rage. For you own good, let yourselves enjoy something that presents itself, even if by a tiny bit, different for a while. |

Rizzle said: ^ This.Lmao, I just finished watching, and I am crying with laughter. Quality entertainment for sure. This was a comedy, not an action shounen. I couldn't believe my eyes when the flower appeared, I was like "Is this for real!?" Are the producers on crack? |
