Watch Mobile Suit Gundam III: Encounters in Space For Free

Such a frustrating disappointment

Let's be realistic.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Simply put, this is perhaps the best Gundam animation released in America yet.This is actually the last thrid of the TV series compressed into a film.70% of the animation was redone so it looks alot better than the first two films.Also the film changes some things from the show such as replacing the Guntank with another Guncannon,changing around the sequence of events(for the sake of drama) and cutting out some of the silly enemy mobile suits from the orginal such as the Braw Bro.Like the others the chartecterization is strong and the realism of war brutal.No Gundam fan should be without it *****/*****

Just as Part II was set almost exclusively on Earth, Part III takes the White Base and it's crew back to the stars to a final showdown with the Duchy of Zeon. Along the way, both Amuro and Char once again face each other, and events transpire they won't soon forget(and which carry on to the sequels Zeta Gundam and Char's Counterattack). Part III also has 75% new animation, so it appears more solid than it's predecessors, although the animation is still dated in most places(mostly during battle scenes). Overall, it's very good stuff.
