Great, but I liked the second more

The NewType concept takes away from the Gundam story. It has a lot of potential, but to me it distracts from the main message that war is hell and people are dumb. I would have loved, for example, to have this NewType thing being thrown around as a political token and as a genuine concern or fascination, only to discover that no, there is no new stage of human evolution, just some people who worked at it and some who didn't. But it wasn't to be. For the sake of this idea, poorly developed characters are introduced, given a lot of importance and then killed off. It did not help the story at all.

There are a lot more fights and there is some closure, but story-wise and on pure enjoyment level, I liked the second film in the series. I was about to look for the Gundam series only to discover that in fact this IS the series, reedited, quality improved and compressed into three films. They should do this with all anime :)

Trivia
Unlike Mobile Suit Gundam film 1 (1981), which was edited entirely from existing episodes and Mobile Suit Gundam film 2 (1981), which uses at least 30% of new animation; this adaption uses at least 70% of new animation.

Goofs
Sayla leaves the FF-X7-Bst Core Booster on A Baoa Qu at 2:04:01 but at 2:04:11 there are reused frames of the G-Fighter which doesn't appear in the rest of the movie.

Quotes
Slegger Lau: It sucks, but this is war, after all.

Crazy credits
After the end of the credits there's a message that reads, "And now... in anticipation of your insight into the future."

Alternate versions
The new DVD versions in both Japan and the US uses a recently-recorded Dolby 5.1 surround stereo track, complete with re-recorded dialogue from all of the original cast. Tape versions use the original 1979 mono sound track.
