Summary: The Worst Gundam Series I Seen
Review: I really hate this movie because of the Stupid Surround Sound.
I could barely hear the actors speaking. There should have been more fighting and less talking. Even I can think of making a better Gundam Movie based on the Gundam Series. This movie is a waste of money and I think everyone should not buy it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I recommend it
Review: I really liked this movie. The special effects were okay and the mobile suits were pretty cool. It could have been longer, and with more action. The acting was decent. I recommend that anyone who likes Gundam should buy this movie, especially if you like the Universal Century timeline.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: An ok movie
Review: I saw the Japanese version and i was very disappointed with the movie! I am a Hard Core gundam fan and if the acting was better and there where some dvd extras the movie would have been great!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Decent Enough To Enjoy!
Review: I think that although i wouldmn't rate the movie great, but it is better than what i've read and personnally expected. granted the Gundam scene is not alot, but the CG is awesome. A non gundam fan wouldn't rate this movie good, but a gundam fan should be able to enjoy it. Plot and Acting are decently made, although could be better. Overall, 3 Stars out of 5 is the best I can give.

Summary: G-Saviour Review
Review: In my opinion Bandai Entertainment could've done much better job with this DVD. Firstly th movie is not in the widescreen format (misssing part of the original movie), I really don't know what kinda deal Bandai got but I'm sure they could've at least try to get the original version of the movie. Secondly, extras are non-existing, I mean nothing, just still form the movie and previews from other Mobile Suit Gundam series. What I fail to understand is that there's not even a description of the Mobile Suits featured in this movie, including the G-Saviour. And finally the menus are boring and dull. Again I realy don't know how far is the reach ("pull") that Bandai Entertainment has but to my eyes the G-Saviour DVD is a failure.
Now the movie. This movie is just a stupid mistake of trying to portray the Gundam Universe on real life. To me that's all it is, a mistake, an error, something should've never happen. The Acting is terrible, the worst I've seen in a long time. Plot (if there's any) is weak and transparent. The CG (Computer Generated Graphics) are good but then they're not featured enough.
This movie should've never happen, this is just to show you that
the Gundam Universe should stay in the animation world.

Summary: Too little too late
Review: Lets get right to it:

The Good:

1) Nice mecha designs and the CG looked good.
2) Good (but too brief) battle scene towards the end.

The Bad:

1) Wooden characters. Ironic that the the first 3D version of Gundam would have such 1D characters. Besides the Mecha, Gundam has always had great characters and this movie had none.
2) Slow pacing. It takes way to long to get to the big Mecha battle at the end and then its over much too quickly.

The Ugly:

1) This should have been a Japanese production. In Western hands it just came out unimaginative and boring. It happened with Godzilla (which luckily is back in Japanese hands) and its happened here with Gundam.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Gundam for adults
Review: Much better than I was expecting. Has the feel of a 'made for Sci-Fi Channel' budget and acting, but that's not always a bad thing. The plot held together all the way through and the effects were not terrible. They were overly obviously CG but worked within the structure and feel of the movie.

This is NOT boring if you ARE looking for more than just 90 solid minutes of Mobile Suits fighting. The characters are simplistic but interesting and they move the human drama along just fine. Common threads found in many Gundam plots are to be found in G-Saviour as well, such as the moral dilema of conflicting loyalties and understanding for one's self what the right thing is to do in overwhelming and difficult situations.

The spectacle of the final MS battle does not dissapoint when it comes time, so it seems there is something here for both people looking for the pathos of human drama and MS fans wanting to see mechs battling it out.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Fair movie, Bad Gundam.
Review: Now I want every one here to note I have seen at least one episode of every gundam series ever, in fact I have seen at least 70-80% of all gundam in my time, now this movie is an interesting concept: Live Action movie taking place in the Gundam universe, even though they never say the word "Gundam" at all you can see words like "Mobile Suit" pop up in places.

The movie lacks every thing that makes a good gundam, I can easily get past the fact it is not the best looking film I have ever seen, but the characters lack chemistry, the other UC gundam characters were so great was because they all had a chemistry and all reacted to each other in a diffrent way, and you could easily understand their situations. The characters in here do not seem nearly as tragic as in "Mobile Suit Gundam" or the kill-a-minute "Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam" in fact I would go as far and saying I did not like, understand, and I can not even remember the names of most charcters, unliek the epic motion picture "Mobile Suit Gundam Char's counter Attack" the characters in "G-Saviour" are rather plain and uneventfull, the action ( I know how much you probably love action) is very low, in fact, the show lacks the "full scaleness" of "Mobile Suit gundam SEED" of which it would look like every one was involved and the war was really brutal, "Savior" on the other hand made it seem like a walk in the park. In fact, this movie was actually kicked off the UC calender, because it had WAY to many continuity problems, over all I suguest looking into it if you are curious, how ever the film falls VERY short of being what the other UC shows were.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: My eyes are burning
Review: Oh god was this bad. It was so bad that while watching it all I could think of doing was hunt down and kill whoever made this piece of crap. Let's see what else the plot for starters. Wow if this wasn't the stupidest thing in the world I don't know what is. Heck monkeys with typewriters could come up with a better plot than this. Acting: horrible. My six year old sister could act better than these clowns. All 30 seconds of CG was kind of cool, maybe if you where on acid. Whatever you do don't buy this, don't borrow this from a friend. And if you do buy this then I'm sorry my friend but God hates you and you are a born loser.
