What's here in this film is fantastic, but I have a big problem with what's not here. The action scenes are some of the best in any Gundam series or film I've seen, there's so much grit that makes everything much more intense. Like the first film, Bandit Flower is an unfiltered portrayal of the horrors of war in the Universal Century, it's extremely violent and dark which makes everything feel so believable. I also really liked the music which did a great job complementing the chaos of the battles and the emotion in other scenes. My main issue with this film is how itdoesn't finish its story arc and hasn't got a sequel to do so either, this sucks because there isn't anything resembling a resolution here. You would have to read the manga to see what happens next which is a shame. Even with its unfinished story arc, watching some of the best battles in Gundam history is more than a fair tradeoff, this is well worth a watch.
