Sam Barsanti AV Club Cucuruz Doan’s Island is... like if Lucasfilm went back and remade the Star Wars Holiday Special but actually made it good. Rated: B Sep 20, 2022 Full Review Panos Kotzathanasis Asian Movie Pulse Although a title that, in theory, addresses Gundam aficionados, “Cucuruz Doan’s Island” is quite appealing on its own, offering much entertainment to even the “ignorant” viewer, and that is where its true value lies. Rated: 7 Jan 4, 2023 Full Review Spencer Legacy ComingSoon.net Mobile Suit Gundam Cucuruz Doan’s Island might be a bit confusing for new fans, but it’s certainly worth watching if you have any interest in Gundam. Rated: 9/10 Nov 30, 2022 Full Review Mark McPherson Film Inquiry Cucuruz Doan’s Island transforms a forgotten Gundam episode into one of the most exciting Gundam movies ever. Sep 30, 2022 Full Review Charles Solomon FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) It's not a good introduction to the series, but if you're already a Gundamn fan it has many characters you already know and like. Sep 23, 2022 Full Review Courtney Lanning Arkansas Democrat-Gazette The film has a nice mix of action and slower moments where the characters and story can breathe... Fans of the original show should be pleased with the film, which raises a certain level of nostalgia for Mobile Suit Gundam. Rated: 86/100 Sep 23, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Michanne Gundam is the shiz and we need more. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/13/22 Full Review Steven A love letter to all Gundam Fans. If you enjoyed the original Mobile Suit Gundam series from 1979, mecha anime or just science fiction watch this movie. The movie and scenes flowed so seamlessly and the animation and sound was exceptional. And it's great in English Dub or English Sub. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/02/22 Full Review Flipper The animation style was beautiful and the story was good. This movie stayed true to the original animation pacing and true to the characters. This was a great time and I enjoyed it overall. The only thing I would say I disliked about it would be that there are areas in the story that are very slow and could have been sped up or just cut out. A few more battle scenes or longer battle scenes would have been nice and the few that are there, are beautifully done. I would totally recommend this to everyone. This is a good movie and brings that excitement that makes your hair stand up or at least for me it did. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/02/22 Full Review Alexander The movie was very enjoyable, more tailored for those that know the UC timeline but isn't to much for newcomers. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/02/22 Full Review J Great anime movie, hoping for more gundam showing in theaters. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/01/22 Full Review David B I dug the way that they managed to use newer animation while keeping it visually close to the original. The animation advances were most notable with the fight sequences. The major thing holding it back was the fact that it would be fairly inaccessible for new viewers. I am aware that it is a remake of the 15th episode of 0079, but feel that they missed out on making it more open to new viewers rather than catering solely to fans.
