A Nice Re-telling of Gundam Seed Destiny August 14, 2008
R. Burleson
Like the third movie of the original Gundam Seed Trilogy this movie covers a shorter range of episodes, making it better. This first of four movies covers episodes 1-13 of Gundam Seed Destiny. It flows really well because many of the scenes were redone, new things were inserted. A few new things were added like in the preceeding movies, but nothing major.
The creators felt that Athrun Zala's character being a narrator in this movie would give the story a more neutral point of few. Overall I have to disagree with this. Very rarely did we see Athrun in the series whole heartingly support ZAFT or stand by Shinn. At the end of the day his loyalties went to Kira and Orb first and foremost. Due to this though new scenes are added in the beginning as transition pieces. Athrun and Cagalli getting on a ship about to go into space, Kira and Lacus walking on a beach, Shinn and Rey messing around with their mobile suits and the Coordinator terrorists before they start their attack. During this we hear Athrun give the same Monologue Rey did at the start of Gundam Seed Destiny: Final Plus about mankind first eating the fruit from the tree of knowledge.
Any new scenes with action such as Athrun piloting the Zaku or at Junius 7 I'm all for, but at the same time they cut some of the action also. Little things like a scene of Rey just briefly looking at Chairman Durandal I don't really see the point of. Since the entire fourth episode was cut the scene where Chairman Durandal reveals Athrun's identity is redone. He reveals it at the same time Athrun asks Captain Gladys for a mobile suit to help break up Junius 7. Also Cagalli learns that Shinn is from Orb during the same time he denounces it along with the Athha's rathar than earlier when Shinn gives her the evil eye in the series which was cut. Some of the dialogue in this scene was also changed. I understand why they did this but Shinn giving Cagalli the evil eye was one of my favorite scenes.
Most of the scenes of Lunamaria conversing with Athrun are cut because the creators chose to ignore her crush on him completely and instead focus more on her relationship with Shinn. Since nothing happened between Athrun and Lunamaria I get it, but the scene when Lunamaria see's Meer in her night gown in Athrun's room was pretty funny. I bet that will be cut in the second movie.
I don't understand why the scenes when Kira hugs Lacus and gets the keys to open the gate to the Freedom Gundam is redrawn, but it does look better. Like the other movies the animation overall looks much better than in the series and is shown in Widescreen format. A remixed version of the song Zips by T.M. Revolution is heard when Shinn first summons the power of the Seed and defeats the Earth Forces fleet. It was alright, but I prefer the original version. When the Coordinators who attempt to assassinate Lacus commit suicide Kira shows a shocked expression rather than a blank one, that's much more like Kira. He really doesn't like it when people die. I really don't like it when they start showing the credits when footage is still being shown. They do offer a textless ending in the bonus features, but I'd rather it be a part of the movie. The new song played at the end, Result by Nami Tamaki was pretty good.
Overall you won't be disapointed if you check this out. As always I have to point out that it could've been longer time wise. Still a fun watch if you want to see the story again.
