DO NOT WATCH THIS, WATCH THE ANIME SERIES.

And we are back again, and the skipping from the first film continues here and is just as outrageous. Beltrochika's introduction was extremely condensed. Her relationship and introduction to and with Amuro are basically not there, which is an insult considering she is the canon mother to his child in Char's Counterattack novel. It also skips a lot of Amuro's internal struggle to decide to fight again.

Kamille is once again given less time to shine and develop versus how he did in the anime series. And Katz, who was already one of the weakest written characters in the ...

DO NOT WATCH THIS, WATCH THE ANIME SERIES.

I was not going in with high hopes, as I was told this compilation trilogy is jarring and adds new animation to some parts but doesn't remaster the full thing, so it was going to be inconsistent. But it wasn't as bad as everyone made it out to be, at least in this movie anyway. That being said a lot of the action sequences seemed rushed and it felt like they added even more camera shake effects (when there was already too much in the original). 80% of the action has your screen shaking and it is offputting ...

A lot of the complaints from the previous movies and the original anime series are still present here.

The Towasanga faction characters are still underdeveloped and we do not care about them. There's a character called Rockpie who dies in the first 15 minutes and we know literally nothing about him whatsoever outside of he had a girlfriend called Mashner. Mashner is another character we also know nothing about besides the fact she wore big earrings and loved Rockpie. She also dies later on in the film, along with the crew on her ship, who we know nothing about. These characters were given too much ...

And the cringe continues. Just like the last movie we once again see our protagonist crying over the fact he fell 'in love' with his sister.

And just like before, we still have a really underdeveloped supporting cast, with too many factions and characters to keep even trying and care about them as a viewer. I was hoping the G-IT Laboratory and Towasanga characters would get development this time around, but that was wishful thinking. We still know very little and do not care about half of the cast, and they keep introducing more characters even at this late point in the series.

The stupid fight ...

The pacing in this film is greatly improved from the original show. But that is about the only praise I have.

It still suffers from the same issues this part of the anime had. Introducing too many new factions and characters, all of which, get barely any backstory whatsoever. 'Captain Mask' and his crew still are underdeveloped, and the same goes for the Towasanga faction. Honestly, at first, I thought they were part of the Venus Globe with how poorly they were explained in both the anime and the films.

That's fine, maybe they will fix some of the dumb plot points from the show with this ...

This movie starts with a major point of contention from the original show, and I was praying that it would be changed as this is the so-called 'better' version of the story. I was too optimistic. Bellri our protagonist shoots and kills his high school teacher on the battlefield and his justification is 'It's because you're piloting a new mobile suit' - which he says while piloting the most advanced mobile suit in the universe. He sits down and is a bit sad afterwards and he feels sick, which is handled slightly better than in the anime - but he still gets over it and ...

I was told the movies would be better. And maybe the later ones do fix some things but for this first one? No. 90% of the issues with the first part of the show are still present in this movie.

Our protagonist still gets a whiff of a girl's hair and falls 'in love' with her after his first smell of it. And characters still openly talk and joke about his love for her (later on in the series it's revealed she's his biological sister by the way).

The tone is still all over the place. After 'accidentally' murdering his crush's boyfriend, we are then cut to ...

I didn't know what to expect going into one of the lowest-rated Gundam shows. Nothing could have prepared me for this mess. This show is all over the place, as is the tone, and as are the factions and characters. The protagonist is this happy-go-lucky always smiling kid who fell in 'love at first sight' with a captured pirate after smelling her hair. He then murders her boyfriend in front of her and feels nothing and then continues obsessing over her while all the other characters tease him about his love for her as if he didn't just shoot someone.

What's weird is you don't ...

Seeing the prototypes and development of all the mobile suits from the Universal Century was really badass. The visuals for this were also spectacular. The action is some of the best ground combat we've seen in all of Gundam. Amuros father, Garma, Dozel and the Zabi family were much more developed and interesting characters in this show, it is a shame they become forgettable in the following series. Crowley and Ramba were great characters, I enjoyed seeing their origin stories, it is such a shame they weren't as developed or interesting in 0079. Similar to the former mentioned, Sayla was also great in this series, ...

I was expecting this to be extremely subpar. But I was somewhat surprised. There was no sexism, some of the women were even actually developed characters, and there was no racism or crude humour like in ZZ or older Gundam. And the protagonist did more in the first 5 episodes than most annoying Gundam protagonists have done in 20. Throughout its runtime, Uso develops and starts to understand the complexity of war, and in general, he is a GREAT protagonist.

Unfortunately, the supporting cast is very lacklustre. Odelo is stupid and so is the other male friend, they would happily start a war to impress ...
