Movie Reviews of Mobile Suit Gundam - Char's Counterattack (Feature)

Movie Review: THE Mech movie!
Summary: 5 Stars

1979-1993 or so was probably the Golden Era of the Mobile Suit Gundam Franchise, (Not to say I do not like the ones beyond 1993's "Victory Gundam.) in that time the all time classic "Mobile Suit Gundam" and the dark sequal "Mobile Suit Gundam: Zeta" and its Sequal "Mobile Suit ZZ (Double Zeta) Gundam" came out.

Following right behind the 47 (Or so) episode series "ZZ Gundam" the epic motion picture "Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counter Attack" came out. I personally think no Mech anime fan should go without the Classic Gundam and this film. The motion picture is really a 2 and a half hour space battle, but considering the film is about as long as 4 or 5 episodes they managed to devolop characters in that time, such as Gyunei, who tries to win the affection of Quess Pyra, who craves a father figure so she joins the Neo Zeon. At times CCA seems more like a space drama then a mech anime, how ever CCA has the emotional and great fight scenes to go with it, now while the fight does not seem as "full scale" as some of the fight scenes in "Mobile Suit Gundam SEED" the fights do carry them selves very well, but they do not get to the point where the entire movie is just fight. As I mentiond characters before I must state that the rivalry between Char Aznable and Amuro Rei is amazing and you get a real sense of conflict between the two. The music helps a lot! It makes the fight scenese truley amazing, and I almost cried at the end when the amazing track "Beyond the Time" began to play.

The DVD features I love, there is a Biblography of all the novels anime and other things Tomino, the creator of the franchise has worked on, the DVD comes with a slip cover, and a fancy booklet with the history of the events leading up to the film.

Would I suguest this? Of course, how ever I think that it may be best to watch Mobile Suit Gundam, and maybe Zeta Gundam before this, just so you can get a real sense of the existing characters.
