Gundam SEED Freedom: La Película

This movie accomplishes so much in a two hour time-run, and has at no-point been unengaging. It does so much justice with the story left off from the end of SEED Destiny, by building up on what has already been established, as opposed to creating something completely different. Moreover, it explores the horrors that comes with segregating people based on genetics and skills, and the consequences it has on human and societal development.

As such, all the characters are written perfectly; even reamending characters that were previously despised in the last series to the point they are now beloved (Shinn Asuka). Both the music and animation is truly to be commended for as well, with iconic songs also being brought back in greater appreciation of the two preceding series. In addition to this, there are many great and comedic moments in the film that keeps the audience entertained throughout the whole run.

Everyone should take the opportunity to watch this amazing anime film in cinema, as its focus is so much more than just mecha action!

The series from which this spawned, Gundam Seed and Gundam Seed Destiny were know for having their soppy love moments, but at the forefront was always a serious story and themes of power, politics and regular people getting caught between corrupt leaders waging senseless wars. There were moments of levity and love but the tone was always mature. The love stories were related to the plot.

Gundam Seed Freedom replaces the mature tone for some teenage love drama, and it's ridiculous. Officers fighting over which boy should love who, soldiers acting like kids in high school, all while waging a nuclear war which is incinerating thousands of innocents. It's just laughable.

On the plus side, it is nice to see the characters again, and in beautiful HD animation, despite the fact that the characters don't really act like the same characters from the series. They even throw in a few gooner shots for the pervs. It really is the animation that saves this movie.

Don't even get me started on the English dub. I never understand when a studio takes all the time to produce something from an existing IP but can't even get the pronunciation of the names right. Who is Lacoose?! Fire EaglestelOOnz! Kira YaMOto. Come on. Say the names of everything the same way they were originally pronounced to maintain continuity. They got it even worse than that Last Airbender live action movie did.

Worth watching for the animation. It's also decent nostalgia for those who loved the series, and it's not absolutely terrible. It's dumb but it's not bad. That's the best fans can hope for in this dark era of cinema.

I loved the Mobile Suit Gundam Anime as a kid. This is one of those properties that made me fall in love with Anime in general. Now to be far, I haven't watched any episodes of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Series, so I am new to this version of Mobile Suit Gundam, but that didn't stop me from watching this movie. I just finished watching this movie and I loved it. And honestly, I'm surprised by how good this movie, especially given its production history.

Positives for Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Freedom (2024): I loved the story and journey that this movie goes on with these characters. You can tell that there was a lot of care given to this movie and I can honestly say that Chiaki Morosawa would be proud of this movie and what it does for fans of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED. As with any anime, the animation looks gorgeous and the score was phenomenal. The action sequences in this movie are among some of the best action sequences I've seen in any anime. The themes this movie explore are very deep and emotional throughout the runtime and it makes the whole experience all the more grander and powerful. And finally, I moved the way that this movie ends and it made me so happy to the point where I was on the verge of happy tears.

Overall, Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Freedom (2024) is a phenomenal anime movie in general, but it is also a phenomenal love letter to the die hard fans of this series and I love the movie all the more for those reasons.

After 18 years, what horrible sequel this is. Why'd they have to make this bs? It doesn't offer anything new.

The story feels like watching repeat of chunks from season 1 and 2. The comedy is mediocre and the horrible main characters are really really weird. The personalities doesn't look like what it was in the previous seasons.

The first season was too great. The second season was good as well. But this is just horrible. It was better not to make any sequel if they gonna produce this low quality story and ruin the entire series.

Albeit it felt really good watching these classic characters in action, but though very very disappointed.

Simply put this is gundam at its best. You may not like Gundam Seed but it's a fact that it is one of the best and most beloved Gundam series. It saved gundam back in the 2000s and is giving it a resurgence again so the vocal minority may not like it but you dam well better respect it for its significance. But thats what makes gundam great is we have something for everyone. Seed was awesome and Destiny was obviously a rushed mess but the remaster does do a good job of cleaning it up. This movie is for the fans and gives this series the high note it deserved to end on if this truly is the end of it. Give it a watch. It's a lot of fun.
