"Probably the best animated movie I have ever seen. If your not getting this cause of the animation quality, you've got something wrong with your head. This anime was made in 1988. Animation probably wasn't very good at the time, quite honestly I wouldn't know, but of the shows I've seen from that time, the animation is all about that same quality. The story of the movie continues Amuro and Char's rivalry as Char decides the earth needs to be destroyed with a meteor, because of our abuse to the environment. Or something.
Watch if your a Gundam fan, but if you haven't seen any Gundam, watch one of the series first, I suggest 0079 or Zeta Gundam."

Hail... Zeon...

"I have long since given up hope on the Gundam franchise due to SEED destroying everything that made it interesting to me, but my love for the One Year War story persuaded me to pick this epic movie up. And man, was I surprised!

There are no needlessly flashy Gundams, no color changes, no characters who you believe are girls for 3 episodes before you find out it's a man! (purple haired guy from SEED) Nor are there any needlessly cheesy love stories that get in the way of the War's story.

This is the end of the original series, real tactics are used, the mobile suits look amazing, and the animation is beautiful for being an 80's film. Unlike so many Gundam things out now, you wont find any overpowered god-like Gundams, or BS excuses for tactics, but quite the opposite! This movie saved Gundam for me. 5/5 for one Hell of a conclusion to one of Anime's greatest stories!"

One Of The Best Movie's Out There!!!

"I'll start the reveiw by saying that this film has been redone in Dolby High Quality Format and picture. Now on to the review. Chars Counterattack takes place 13 years after the events of the origional Gundam sereis(with Char in his thirties, and Amuro in his twenties). Char has made his own allegiance called Neo Zeon, and plans to drop an asteroid on Earth causing a nuclear winter, ushering a new age of Mankind in space. Amuro now piloting the exclusive, and powerful Nu Gundam must stop Chars plans once and for all. Thats right!! The Amuro/Char rivalry that has taken the world by strom ends here!! This movie will keep you at the edge of your seat with the suspence,and robot UFC meets Star Wars type action. Like all the other gundam sereis, there's a huge lesson learned at the end about humanity, war, & people in general. This movie also has an excillent ending. Here's a hint, it's not your ordinary, live happily ever after ending. Chars Counterattack garnishes a 5/5 from me, for ending one of the best rivalries i've seen seince Darth Vader & Luke Skywalker. Big Ups."
