G-Saviour (1999 TV Movie)
2/10
Obscenity

G-Savior is a film based on Kidou Senshi Gundam created by Yoshitoki Tomino but nothing could be farther from the spirit of the original. Gundam is about the tensions which arise from a separation of peoples between space colonies and Earth. While I give the actors credit for doing a very good job and making the movie palatable the writers and producers had little to no familiarity with the original Kidou Senshi Gundam when they created this monstrosity. While the basic plot has much potential by attaching it to the Universal Century, the time line of Kidou Senshi Gundam, which incidentally translates to Mobile Soldier Gundam, they have destroyed any credibility they might have had. Kidou Senshi Gundam is a "real robot" series which abides by the laws of physics as we understand them. G-Savior skips out on much of this by doing things such as having space suits which are not sealed and the like. This is a good movie to play in the background of a raucous party but the film has no value as anything related to Kidou Senshi Gundam.
