Memorable, crazy movie
Good movie but grossly overrated
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Blistering performances.
Big fan of Gundam series and couldn't believe they actually made such a horrible movie from such an epic Japanese animated title. Story is rubbish and the "Gundam" action and design were amateur at bests. This movie is an insult to all Gundam fans and I feel sorry for those whose first experience watching Gundam was this movie. Do not waste your time watching this movie and an advice to the makers of the movie, please watch the original series (out of many) and try to understand the concept of Gundam. If you want to remake Japanese classic animation series into a movie then please stick to power rangers which is FYI also horrible. Don't waste your time watching this movie even if someone offers it for free.
When I watched G Saviour I was very excited because as a bit of a gundam fan it was new to me. But when watching it i expected some of the gundam ideals to be put in there, Like with Kira from seed, protecting a group of friends but then learning fighting is not the way, even to start saving the enemy from death. However in G Saviour we have more American film ideals, the lone hero is in the gundams but not as obvious as it is in this film, and right away he wants to save the world but does not care for the other side no mater who they are. Even Herro Yui began to realise there was good people on both sides! so in this case i was disappointed a bit, however it did redeem its self by hinting at the fact that there was confusion to which side was right, and the use actually following the style flow of gundam with the off world colonies. Also...even after all that...if you don't give a poop about the missing element of Japaneses-godlyness, it has large Robots with energy blades! 'nuf said! =p people ENJOY its got something for all, even the kiddies
So I'm a huge Gundam fan. I collect all means of Gundam media. I have DVDs unreleased DVDs and VCDs and if I see a Gundam model I don't have I buy 2 so I can paint 1 and put the other away. I feel the original "Mobile Suit: Gundam" movie seris was the best and probably always will be. But I saw this thing and had to pick it up and buy it because it's Gundam. I didn't even look at the back to notice that it had actual people in it. I figured it was just some cheasy CGI thing that was whatever... Point is... I got it home and put it in... the image was sooooo grainy and dark (to hide how crapy the CGI looked) and the acting was so awful that I just started to zone out and I seriously fell asleep. The volume on the DVD fluctiates so much that the end battle scene is booming loud and woke me up. I saw the crappy crappy effects and I just pulled it out and said "OH MY GOD!!! WHAT HAVE THEY DONE!!!". Gundam is one of the biggest anime franchises ever and if they wanted to be serious they should have spoken to some one about making a large budget film that would be awesome. Made for TV movies pretty much always suck, but I've seen way better effects... that one person that posted they liked the effects has never seen Merlin from 1998 or from Earth to the Moon from 1998 or... hell... anyhthing... ANYTHING IS BETTER THAN THIS... WATCH ANY FILM AND IT WILL BE BETTER THAN THIS!!! it's terrrible... ok... I've ranted enough... Bandai should just talk to Sony or something and make a huge large 100 million dollar film or make 3... I don't care... I'll watch it... just as long as its better than this.. OHHH! if you want large robots and people... rent ROBO JOCKS from back in the eighties... way cooler. Peace out
Say what you want, but the opinions of others mean nothing to me. And I'm glad I never listened to others. I liked Gundam Saviour. Sure it's not the greatest movie ever made, it's not even the best of the Gundam saga. So why do I like it? Because it is something not done before. Sure there have been plenty of sci-fi movies, giant robots, and CGI animation, but none have been done all like this. The G-Savior the star Mobile Suit of the movie doesn't show up until half way through showing once again the Mobile Suits are just the tools for the heros and villians to clash with at the big battle at the end of the film.The real story is Mark Curran an Ex-mobile suit pilot gets involved in a plot to cover up the greatest new way to grow underwater agriculture. Mark goes out to help the scientist that made the discovery before the Evil General can get his hands on this discovery and make it disappear for his own gain.The real acomplishment this movie is that it shows Disney was wrong, and could have put the Starship Troopers in the Powered Armor Suits that were mentioned in the book and it wouldn't have effected the movie in the least.
