Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.

Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

filmfan1991 6 years after the events of both "Zeta Gundam" and "ZZ Gundam", Char Aznable has resurfaced after a few years of hiding to fight for the independence of the space colonies by dropping the former AXIS asteroid onto Earth to cause a worldwide nuclear winter and forcing humanity to live in outer space and evolve into Newtypes. Once again Amuro Ray must fight Char and bring their long time rivalry to an end.Unlike most anime movies based off their respective TV series, "Char's Counterattack" is a direct sequel to the previous Gundam series which ties up loose ends, runs over 2 hours and brings the Amuro-Char UC rivalry to an epic and satisfying conclusion.The animation is much more improved from the TV series with a movie budget and brilliant action sequences between the Gundams especially the final fight between Char and Amuro. Little bit of trivia is that one of the robot designers for the movie was Hideaki Anno who would later go on to make "Neon Genesis Evangelion" another one of my favorite anime series.Voice acting is great for both Japanese and English dubs as both has their original voice actors with Tōru Furuya and Brad Swaile as Amuro, Shūichi Ikeda and Michael Kopsa as Char, the late Hirotaka Suzuoki and Chris Kalhoon as Mr. Bright. All give excellent performances respectively."Char's Counterattack" is a brilliant and epic conclusion to the Char-Amuro era and should not be missed by any Gundam fan. I should note that if you plan on watching the movie, you should be familiar with at least the first two Gundam series, otherwise you might be lost and have no satisfaction when watching this movie.

Matt Fokker (drakeluft) This movie is what it is, a film sequel to 1980s Japanese mecha sci-fi shows, and as long as that it what you expect out of it, you will love it! It has everything you'd come to expect from Tomino's work; human drama, mecha action, and breathtaking visuals. I suggest watching at least Mobile Suit Gundam, Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam and Mobile Suit Double Zeta Gundam before viewing this film, because the directors assume that you know the Universal Century plot line. If you are not into Japanese film yet, I suggest a simpler title before diving into gundam, but if you are a veteran otaku, this movie is well worth it, even if the DVD is a little on the expensive side!

neogohan The end of the Gundam Saga with Char and Amuro could not have been portrayed any better. The animation is stunning, the plot is great, and the fighting in space was outstanding. I could not find any flaw with this, it was excellent. I strongly suggest this movie to any Gundam fan out there. It is truely a work of art.

lengchai If you have been following the Gundam saga (tv series), this is one animated feature you could not miss. Even if you are not a Gundam fan, you will still enjoy the art works.
