I've been waiting for this movie for a while, and could barely restrain my excitement when it was finally released on DVD. When I sat down and watched the movie, my thoughts were all variants on 'This is gonna be awesome!' Well... I was half right. The fights were spot on in terms of battle mechanics. Though the plot was half decent, there was little character...I want to say growth. Setsuna had reverted to his original self in season one. He was surly and withdrawn. When the chips were down, he then proved to be all but useless. Tieria's return was a pleasant sight, and ... the one-sided romance between Feldt and Setsuna was cute. The final battle was an epic clash, but I was disappointed with the new 00 Gundam. All it did was the old 'Big Beam Sword' trick. The teleportation gate was interesting, but ultimately had one use.
Overall, it was a good action/mecha movie. As a Gundam feature, I found it a bit lacking. If you've seen the show, but not the movie, then you'll be fine with that. The movie is just a nice little epilogue. It could have been worse. But then, it could have been so much better.
