Movie Reviews of Mobile Suit Gundam 0080 Complete Collection
Movie Review: Anti-war anime with hard-hitting drama
Summary: 4 Stars
Some boys really want to fight in wars. Al is one of these mischievous boys, who gets involved in a deadly war involving the Federation and Zeon. Although he thinks that he's helping a Zeon soldier in a good cause, Gundam 0080 proves that even his best friends can kill each other, especially if they are on opposing sides.
The story focuses on Al, who loves to watch giant robots fight. He looked for a Gundam at an airport at his colony, but he could only manage to take pictures of a big metal storage crate. In a circumstance of sheer luck, Gundam and Zeon robots begin to fight at the colony. Al, rushing over to a fallen Zeon robot, finds a soldier named Bernie. He trades his photos with Bernie for a Zeon badge.
Bernie turns in the photos, and suddenly was promoted to the Special Forces team. The Zeon Special Forces team was assigned to destroy the Federation's Gundam at the colony. Al finds the Zeon group and works with Bernie to find the Gundam. However, he doesn't know that his next-door neighbor, Kensington, is a Gundam pilot.
Although the plot is complicated, the characters are set in difficult, violent situations. Eventually, the Zeon fight the Gundam, and no matter what outcome arises, Al will be forever scarred.
This is a sad, but touching look at the brutality and inhumanity of war. Like the American movie "Syriana", the characters get caught in situations where, even when they think they are doing the right thing, somebody always pays a price. The ending is tragic. The scriptwriters and director did an amazing job, even without frontman producer Tomino at the helm. Probably the only thing they should have taken out was the unnaturally cheery music at the end, which spoiled the depressing ending.
