I am not a fan of compilation movies because if done badly, it's just the show with no opening or ending sequences in between. This isn't the case with G-Reco's first movie. It felt like I am watching an actual movie and not a bunch of episodes of the TV series stitched into one.

The character motivations are clear, but the overall conflict felt like it needs further expansion aside that the Capital Guard saw enemies coming from space and they need to fight back. That said, will I recommend this over the TV series? It's an easy yes.

I was fully prepared to regret getting my hopes up for another movie. I mean I was hyped for Hathaway's Flash until they showed that the dude adapting it wrote Bible Black and Bible Black Gaiden. My hopes for good Gundam works were pretty low at the time, from Narrative, to HF, to F90FF. It seemed pretty ridiculous that condensing a story already condensed would only serve to exacerbate the problem.
Pacing was the biggest problem I had with G-Reco. It took minutes to comprehend what was happening in 3 seconds because they decided to waste half th…
