I have a love hate relationship with Gundam movies. I love that they exist and that they've given us some iconic moments, but I hate how rushed they feel most of the time. Seed Freedom is no exception.

::: spoiler 🦜✝️🥜 The first act is definitely rushed. The players and their relationships (and how things have changed since Destiny) are barely set up. But damn does it ever go hard. And by the end, they hit just about every Seed trope possible. Whether that's a good or bad thing is definitely a matter of taste, but there is no doubting that they were committed to the bit. I had a good time, and everyone cheered when ______ got his ass beat. :::

If you hated Seed/Destiny, I don't see this movie changing any minds. But if you enjoyed that universe, it's worth seeing IMO. It's quite possibly the most Seed thing ever. I give it 4 V-fins.
