Amate Yuzuriha is a high-school student living peacefully in a space colony floating in outer space. When she meets a war refugee named Nyaan, Amate is drawn into the illegal mobile suit dueling sport known as Clan Battle. Under the entry name "Machu," she throws herself into fierce battle day after day, piloting the GQuuuuuuX. Then an unidentified Gundam mobile suit pursued by both the space force and the police appears before her, along with its pilot, a boy named Shuji. Now their world is about to enter a new era.

On top of taking advantage of modern animation technology and high image quality, Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX has created some of the best robot action scenes I’ve seen in quite a while.

Rated: 7/10

This is everything I love about Gundam: political drama in space and giant robots.

GQuuuuuuX is interested in the immediate contrast of having it both ways at once, constantly calling to iconic moments from the original show while ceaselessly prodding at them and twisting them to cast them in new light.

Hey, I’m one for science-fiction, battling giant robots, and adventures in space. But what about balancing things so the backstory doesn’t take up more than 60% of the film’s run-time and it takes less than an hour to introduce the hero?

Rated: C

Fans of GAINAX, KHARA, and Gundam alike will not be disappointed! Big shoes to fill but it fits the bill and delivers. 10/10 saw again.

This was my first encounter with the Gundam series, so I went in with little to no expectations. This movie was well put together and held my interest from start to finish. The animation, sound, music and acting were great! The pacing was friendly enough for me to read the English subtitles without getting lost. The end of the film felt like it was just beginning, and left wanting more.

As a fan of original Universal Century Mobile Suit Gundam this "movie" was a real treat. I enjoyed the alternate timeline quite a bit, a lot of call backs and easter eggs. Also, the new music featured in that latter part of the movie was great while as including a bunch of the original music and themes as well. Only reason it's not a 5 star is because I am still not a fan of the redesigns of the original mobile suits. All and all, a good time for even for the casual Gundam fan.

I... don't know why I keep going to these premiere showings. It is essentially the first episodes of a show that is not out till next month, streaming on Prime Video exclusively. Which, okay, fine. That's fine. What I keep running into is that studios never seem to be able to just find the best place to cut the film to be an ending that feels like a teaser and not a cliff hanger. Sound track is great, voice cast, great, designs great. It's all good. Pacing I just... don't care for it. The movie could have probably ended 30 minutes sooner and I'd of been more willing to watch the show, but a primary mystery was answered almost right away, and basically killed my whole drive to watch the rest.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
