I absolutely loved this movie. There was so much fanservice for fans of the original series. The island's inhabitants were well-developed, and for once, the child characters didn't drive me up the wall! The Origin-style animation looked great too. While CGI Mobile Suits aren't everyone's cup of tea, the ones in this film are one of the better CGI integrations I've seen in anime. Just goes to show how talented Sunrise's artists are! This is not a necessary watch, but if you're a fan of 0079 and don't mind the slower pacing, you will enjoy this! The development of the characters pays off so wellin the end.
