Movie Reviews of Mobile Suit Gundam - Char's Counterattack (Feature)
Movie Review: disappointing
Summary: 1 Stars
if you're in for the story, i recommend watching this only for closure. especially if you sat through the whole double zeta series like i did.
i really wish they would've at least given this a mini series to add more depth to the story. also, i really wish they would get rid of the horrible teenage girl characters that just distract you from the real story and add frustration and embarassment for the way these characters act.
it seems that this movie almost ignored everything that happened after the original gundam series and acts as a direct sequel. char ends up looking like a yuppie and amuro barely looks any different at all.
i'm taking a break from the universal century after this disappointment and i'll watch gundam wing.
Summary of Mobile Suit Gundam - Char's Counterattack (Feature)
The fourth Gundam feature (1988) takes place 14 years after the third and continues the rivalry between Earth Federation mecha pilot Amuro Ray and Char Aznable, now ruler of the space realm of Neo-Zeon. Char so hates the Earth, he plans to bombard the planet with asteroids, causing a deadly nuclear winter. Although the corrupt Earth Federation commands vastly superior resources, all that really stands in Char's way is Amuro and his Nu Gundam Mobile Suit. Writer-director Yoshiyuki Tomino continues the story of the Newtypes, humans who possess psychic powers. The latest possessor of these abilities is Quess Paraya, an obnoxious teenager who whines and fusses until she's finally killed. Char's Counterattack is essentially a two-hour space battle, and although Tomino had only limited technology at his disposal, the choreography of the mecha duels is generally effective and exciting. Rated 13 Up: Violence, mostly robot vs. robot. --Charles SolomonAction & Adventure DVD Video
