G-Saviour - The Movie description
G-Saviour: The Movie is an oddity: an American live-action film made to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Gundam, one of the most popular and successful franchises in anime history. Although Yoshiyuki Tomino's mecha show actually debuted on Japanese television in 1979, it was the three feature-length compilations of the series released in 1981-82 that made Gundam a hit. The programs that followed are sprawling sci-fi epics that focus on teenagers whose psychic abilities enable them to pilot the splendidly designed robot-suits. The plot of G-Saviour, in which an evil general tries to destroy a mysterious enzyme that could end world hunger, is no hokier than many of the animated Gundam adventures. But the characters are all adults, and the turgid romance, in which a woman precipitates a war over her pilot-boyfriend's affections, lands with a thud. The film lacks the scope and brilliant design work of the anime series: despite the numerous CG effects by Digital Muse, G-Saviour feels like an undistinguished movie-of-the-week. Rated 13 Up: Violence, minor profanity. --Charles Solomon |

♥♥♥♥♥ |
Disappointed.
|
| I was ,overall, disappointed by this film. The plot should have been more detailed. If you look at any of the episodes of the gundam series you will see that they all have intriguing, provacotive, and detailed plots. The plot on this movie was not up to par for a gundam movie. There were times when I was watching this movie when I couldn't tell whether it was about the war of the colonies or the main characters' love story with the scientist. Although, I will admit the gundam fight scene in the end was pretty good. But thats about all I can say. The acting was near terrible, the special effects were sub-par, and the whole thing was just too predictable. In conclusion, this is DEFINITELY NOT a buy, barely even a rent. I only paid $1.99 for it, I feel as though I got my moneys' worth. You can buy it if you want to see the fight scene at the end but I implore you to not pay more than 5 or 6 dollars for it. If you do, you will probably feel like you were cheated. In my humble opinion that is. |
