Movie Reviews of Gundam F-91
Movie Review: Not bad but could have been better
Summary: 4 Stars
Well first off I'd like to say that one of the main things from this movie that I liked was the combat coordination the animators used for the mobile suit action, which is one of the main reasons I watch Gundam. I also found the English dubbing to be reasonably decent. And the story itself wasn't pretty good
However this storyline probably would have been better if it was done in the 50 episode TV format as originally intended. That would have given the writer more time to flesh out the personalities of the characters, because as it is now it leaves the impression that just about everyone is a little immature (with the exception of one engineer that works on the protagonists' ship. Also if it was longer it would give the viewer a better look at the politics of the world and the characters opinion of it, because as it is it can be confusing. For instance halfway through the movie after Seabook discovers that Cecily is a member of the Crossbone Vanguard, his friends seriously consider defecting to the Crossbone Vanguard and present them with the Gundam as a bargaining token. Yet in the next scene they are seen preparing to evacuate to the moon which is Federation territory.
Another thing I at least found annoying was how it was hard to root for either the Federation or the Crossbone Vanguard. Usually with the early Gundam series the faction the series protagonist sides with is usually designed so that the viewer will wish to root for them, while the enemy is clearly seen as evil because of how they are usually willing to initiate WMD attacks that kill thousands to millions of people. In this movie the only truly evil character is Iron Mask with his plan to use the Bug weapon to kill any human not part of the Crossbone Vanguard. Other than that its quite easy to root for the Crossbone Vanguard to win because during the battles they specifically tried to avoid civilian deaths while the Federation's soldiers were only to willing to overlook civilians caught in the crossfire, use kids as shields, or try to for teenagers to fight simply because they had a damaged mobile suit they were using to escape.
Well I suppose that ultimately if your looking for good mobile suit action than you may want to check this out. However if you want something with a complex and deep story than this probably isn't for you.
