I'm writing this review at home having just returned from the cinema I went to watch the movie in. Overall, it's the best presentation of the SEED universe: the mobile suits look great, the animation is on point and there are tons of fun references especially in the last battle. Being a true SEED product, while the politics are interesting the plot is mainly pushed forward by melodrama and love triangles; I'm not complaining since it's one of SEED's main selling points but after Iron Blooded Orphans and Witch From Mercury I kinda forgot Gundam also had this side to it. The plot works, although some fanservice-cy shotscould have been omitted (still no clue how we got giggle physics for Lacus on the only skin tight pilot suit) and it really is a fun movie for those who liked SEED and SEED Destiny.
