Code Geass: Lelouch of the Re;Surrection

It has been a year since I last watched Code Geass and watching this movie was a good revisit to the series.

It is the second year of the Kowa Period. The world has unified around the reorganize United Federation of Nations, and has enjoyed days of continuing peace, but now, that peace suddenly comes to an end. Suzaku, while travelling as the masked man "Zero" accompanying Nunnally on her visit to the refugee camp, is defeated by a mysterious Knightmare Frame, and the two of them are taken away. Following secret orders from Schneizel, Kallen, Lloyd and Sayoko infiltrate Zilkistan, the Land of Warriors, where they are attacked by a mysterious Geass user. There in Zilkhstan is a person named C.C., known to the assailants as the "former master". In the indomitable kingdom which once conquered even the great army of the Holy Britannian Empire, what do the people desire? Hope, or despair? The people of Zilkhstan Palace certainly know of Geass. What are they, and C.C., planning?

Overall, the movie was a breath of fresh air of the series, it was even nice that majority of the english cast came back.

If you enjoyed the recap movies even though i have zero clue they were never dubbed you might like this.

This one is a must watch if you loved this Series. The ending of this movie is brilliant. The animation, soundtrack and story plot makes this movie great. The CGI animations of the mechas are not bad at all and are pretty smooth. I won't say much but this one is a must watch for those who are fans of this series!

This movie is like an amazing and well written fanfiction of the series. I saw some negative reviews about how many plot holes and out of the context of the series this movie was. Obviously they didn't get the point. This movie wasn't the continue of the series but it was a possible scenario of what could have happened.

Many fans criticize this movie because they expect it to match the masterpiece of the TV series or serve as a direct continuation. But for me, that's the wrong way to look at it. I see this film as an extra, not part of the main story, but something that fills the emptiness the ending of R2 left behind.

The Zero Requiem is a perfect ending, no doubt about it - Lelouch's death fits the story flawlessly. But it was also very abrupt and painful. I always wanted to see Lelouch drop his mask of lies, be accepted by everyone, and most of all, finally be together with C. C. This movie delivered exactly that.

The plot itself may not be as grand or complex as the series, but the emotional closure it provides is beautiful. The final scene, where Lelouch and C. C. disappear into the crowd after he basically confesses his love, accompanied by the song Revive, was the perfect ending I needed.

In short: this isn't about outdoing the series. It's about healing the wound the finale left behind and giving Lelouch and C. C. the ending they deserve. For that, I loved it.

Theres not much to say other than that its a must watch in my opinion. It is one of the best movies I have ever seen and I think will ever see. I suggest watching Code Geass 2006 before watching this Masterpiece or you might get confused.

Even If I watched it I'm going to get the Blu-Ray.
