VHS Movie Reviews of Mobile Suit Gundam - Movie I

Movie Review: Re released with new audio, yes, that is bad.
Summary: 1 Stars

In the 02 release the sound has been re-recorded or "mastered" or something like that. Also the credit roll track has been changed in the second movie; replaced with AISENSHI from the climactic fight scene. The result was for me an unpleasant surprise. It had been a long time since I had seen the originals and I was feeling nostalgic so I rented them. I am glad i did not jut buy them straight away. It all seems out of place and just wrong. Great covers though. If you can I strongly suggest you look for an older release.

Summary of Mobile Suit Gundam - Movie I

In the year 0079 of the Universal Century, the Earth Federation and its space colonies are engaged in an apocalyptic war. The rebellious Duchy of Zeon, using humanoid fighting machines called mobile suits, has all but vanquished the Federation. Now the Federation's last hope is the prototype Mobile Suit Gundam. When a twist of fate makes young civilian Amuro Ray the Gundam's pilot, his own battle begins - a struggle not only for the Federation's survival, but for his own.
The first Gundam movie (1981) consists of recut footage from the first 15 episodes of the watershed TV series Mobile Suit Gundam (1979). In the year 0079 of Yoshiyuki Tomino's "Universal Century," war rages between the Earth Federation and the space-based Principality of Zeon. Unlike the dedicated pilots of later mecha adventures, Amuro Ray becomes a hero in spite of himself. When Zeon raiders devastate his home, the orbiting space colony Side 7, Amuro stumbles into the cockpit of the Federation's secret weapon, the Gundam Mobile Suit RX-78. His talent as a pilot brings him into conflict with the dashing, unscrupulous Zeon ace Char Aznable. Amuro finds his resolve tested as he interacts with the other characters, who have also been pressed into service. Although the story is far from over, the film ends with Amuro tentatively accepting his role as a soldier. Rated 13 Up: Minor profanity, violence. --Charles Solomon
