This ☝️ Mfs are gettin' hard as shit to please nowadays. Maybe, just maybe it's okay to not be the perfect show or movie, and still be enjoyable? Like, am I alone on this planet in thinkin' this? I must not be human, if this is how most humans think. 🤷
The G-Savior Gundam makes a cameo in the recent Gundam Build Fighters anime as a gunpla model at the beginningof episode 8. Sadly, it was quickly taken out because its use as a practice dummy against a Hayaku Shiki model.
That's unfortunate. Especially since I think the Hyaku Shiki is an overhyped meh mobile suit. Then again, G-Saviour is basically the GP03 Dendrobium Stamen in a sense so..
Oh man this is glorious. It really outshines the current blockbusters Dragonball Evolution, Street Fighter: The legend of Chun Li and The last airbender. Until i saw this, i thought nothing could be that trilogy of awesomeness.
0.o I wish I never found out that this existed......... Now I'm going to go and drink an entire bottle of whiskey and smack my head off the wall repeatedly in the deluded hope that I'll forget
This perfectly illustrates the inherent problems with adapting a cartoon/anime to live action movies, particularly gundam. 1. It's going to be effects heavy, and if you can't get the machines to look good and move well you might as well not bother. They're as important as the characters, if not more so. 2. Gundam stories (any cartoon/anime actually) are told over dozens of episodes. Trying to tell a complete, satisfying gundam story inside the time limit of a movie is very difficult. 3. Gundam stories almost always deal with lots of morally grey issues and have character conflicts centered around differences in ideology. Just sticking fighter pilots into giant robots doesn't even come close to cutting it. 4. A surprisingly handsome villain in a kinky mask is an absolute must. It's tradition. 5. Mobile suit battles in space should be MOBILE. They're in space darn it! Move in all three dimensions! 6. Firepower. If it doesn't have some beam spam and missile circus, it just isn't gundam. Anything else someone can think of?
+jose garcia They age of the pilots doesn't quite matter. That's only dictated to if they make a live-action movie of a series/ova/movie that has already existed in the Gundam Universe, then of course the characters/pilots must be a certain age, sometimes kids and sometimes teens. But if it's a new Gundam, like this, they can make the pilots whoever/whatever age they want. In Gundam Age, the first part of the series begins with Flit Asuno as a child, he grows through the series and continues piloting and building Gundams. He pilots to the day he's an old man, all shown within the anime. So, again, age of a pilot doesn't matter. That's up to Tomino & Sunrise to dictate, seeing as they are the owners of the entire Gundam Franchise. They chose these actors, and never made any objections. Therefore they were wanting this.
+Marrier9999 "3. Gundam stories almost always deal with lots of morally grey issues and have character conflicts centered around differences in ideology. Just sticking fighter pilots into giant robots doesn't even come close to cutting it. " I suppose you consider G gundam to be non existent.
I discovered this gem in a pawn shop when I was 12, didn’t realize they made a Gundam live action movie. For what it was, I was extremely entertained at the time hahah
Some of the concept designs for G-Saviour are fucking brilliant, especially when you see all the equipment and adjustable body parts that was possible, but just never surfaced in this movie because Sunrise never gave a shit.
@ebess2 Just a small heads-up, Sunrise basically gave a bunch of people who knew next to nothing about Gundam a script and some pictures and essentially told them, 'Make a movie with this'. Considering that, by the time of the release of G Saviour, Gundam in the West was limited to Wing and 0083, you can't exactly blame the production team entirely for what happened.
Actually its not bad for its time. I give kudo for studio for actually trying. Sadly like many anime to live-action adaption, it will be left forgotten.
As per standards, the one with the V-Fin comes in and IMMEDIATELY kicks ass and takes names. Awesome. For a movie that's so old, this is actually rather good. The beam saber duel was pretty nice, but recycling the shot of the Gabthley (yeah,looks like it) come crashing down remind me of GSD... Not that it was bad, though. Hoping for a revamp...
The creator of Gundam Had a Press Conference with Legacy efftect studios today and It is very very Likly they are going to create a New Gundam movie:D!
I can't believe I actually bought this movie when it came out... You sit through the entire movie, for this. Sorry to spoil it, but to anyone who hasn't seen the movie, THIS is all the mobile suit action in the ENTIRE movie. Sure, you get a few MS snippets here and there, but this is the only battle. And not even a good one at that. I'd wager a Zaku II could outmaneuver these clunker mobile suits any day of the week.
@@ayylmao575 Honestly? Yeah, I do. It's part of the reason why I like 08th Team, since it's just normal pilots surviving in Vietnam War conditions. The suits don't zip around and one shot other suits, mobile armor is a massive threat, and the idea of an ace pilot on the field that can pilot at incredible speed and precision inspired genuine terror to the entire protagonist group. Clunky slow battles are where it's at for mecha action with me.
Seriously tho, why does the G-savior itself and the main enemy suit the only suits with beam shields, they where an MS standard by the time of victory gundam witch takes place 70 YEARS before this!!
This was surprisingly entertaining. Although extremely western. The mobile suits except for the Gundam have western design marks. The camera angles are western. The sound effects are western. The projectiles are typical western made for tv sci-fi even in the way they're shown, shot, sound, ect. The bad guy was pretty stereotypical super evil which was annoying. At least he didn't have a mask, I guess. Glad I sat through this, because if the movie is as boring as said, then I just got the only good bits. Although the suits seem a bit slower than even one year war models, it's typical western space combat speeds shown. Actually a bit faster. This is still better than a lot of what we saw in DS9 and B5 as far as combat goes. Not up to par with typical gundam anime battles, of course but not god awful.
+onigojira Well, Sunrise are the ones who chose to make it "Western". But it's pretty good. I just wish they would've included more fight scenes in the overall movie, or more interesting storyline. But overall it's a great movie/video game.
Xbuster6 G-Saviour would benefit from having an actual show. We have A LOT of good sci-fi show makers over here, who touch on different styles. From Star Gate to Trek to Battlestar, I think they'd be able to find something if they wanted to make a gundam show with a western feel. I think the concept of the political sphere falling in to turmoil after the weakened Federation collapses is interesting. They never recovered after the Titans incident, and it looks like there's a little tech stagnation going on as no centralized power holds the resources needed to push mobile suits past what we've already seen. My only fear about them expanding this would be that western sci-fi, even trek, is generally not as hard sci-fi or as "tech oriented" as Gundam is traditionally seen as now.
Don't see why people hate this so much i think its okay. The reason their slow is cause that's real life. I can understand Gundam fans as well as others being dissatisfied, I'm a gundam fan too, but cut the film some slack, sense when has american mad anime related material ever been good? If you are a true gundam fan you will appreciate the good points of this film rather than JUST the negatives
3 people working together to make a good Gundam movie: James Cameron for action and animation worthy of the Gundam name, and Hideaki Anno and Yoshiyuki Tomino for the writing, I just think it would be cool to have the creator of NGE working alongside Kill em all Tomino.
Somehow I can just hear the voice of Obi-wan Kenobi saying "Luke, use the force" and seeing whoever the main character is just turning his monitor off and saving the day... no I'm not a nerd I just used to be a kid in love with star wars. And by kid I mean 17 jk
After reading a summary of the movie, this scene sounds like it actually should have took place thirty-five minutes in, and following it they could have displayed character development and more battles.
There is going to be no Live action Gundam seed movie because when they were makin this movie they were warned if they fail that bandai would not allow any more american movie industries to use the name or any thing related to Gundam to be ever made into another Movie like this. Guess what they failed
If only people knew just how good they had it back when this first came out. "Wahhh its so bad, i wanna drink myself to death". Now look. It may as well be live action SEED.
Ah. I see what you meant about the star wars thing. Mobile suit pilots don't just stand there and swing beam sabers at each other. This was made by a canadian company. Who obviously had no idea what the hell they were doing in regards to Gundam. However Sunrise/bandai is also to blame for not better overseeing something that is supposed to be a tribute to the 20th anniversary of Gundam.
Fair enough, sir. I won't deny that in a lot of cases animation can easily trump live action when it comes to fantasy/scifi. But they were just trying something different and well, yeah it kinda face planted.
I've watched the movie, and... the Starship Troopers requisites, low budget acting, the systematic global starvation plan being "definitely sane", I get it. But on the other side, I think that Mark is the only Gundam movie protag so far who actually works as a Gundam movie protag. It's amusing that among many children MCs, he's a full grown man in his 30's who just wants to chill on his underwater rig before getting himself into big problems and overcoming his anxiety. Yes, his backstory is a bit generic, but what can you do? Also G-Saviour looks pretty good.
the weapons and equipments on the defensive side looks even worse than the rebels and voluntary militias from the previous era, not to mention the regular military. And by the way, does their MS look like GM series? (equipped with solid ammo machine guns with a beam saber and a solid shield)
Sunrise made this about ohhhhhh.... 17 years ago or so. It was made for Japan and the cgi as well as some of the rest of the production was produced by Digital Muse. One of the best cgi animators in the business (if not THE BEST), Aristomenis Tsirbas, was the lead animater on the project and was actually brought to the States (from Canada) to lead the project. Just a little info for those that are curious.
UC 0090 : we have full 360° cockpit and MS piloted by Psycommu system etc... UC 223 : just one little screen, and the cockpit is some kind of tiny room. and pilots are wearing big uncomfortable suits Well, This is Evolution !
Victory, League Militaire Invasion of the Zanscare Guillotine Crazy queen Angel's Call Shrike Team Manhunters rule through fear Char clone pilots Gaia Gear What the hell's a G Saviour? I can't take it anymore!
@Nazzet Erm, that's the panoramic cockpit you're refering to. The one used here was a 3 monitor old style cockpit used in the one year war I believe. I have no idea why they're using 150 year old outdated technology.
Freedom and Strike freedom are just overpowered Gundams that seem to be be almost invinsible and have seemingly infinte mounds of ammo. Its all about teh Psycho Nu Gundam
This film had so much potential and they screwed it up royally. It might have been better if they just hadn't made it a part of the Gundam franachise itself. All they had to do was remove the G-Saviour's crest and set in AD rather then UC and you'd basically be there. I think the the fact it was a part of Gundam is the main problem here. As an original mecha film, it would still be bad, but less so because there's nothing tied to it.
@@seth0023Well, since the production house, having zero knowledge of space battle in Gundam. You may hate it but this scene alone is becoming a stepping stone for bringing more realistic battles in Gundam, such as in MS IGLOO and Evolve.
This actually isn't that bad of a movie, in fact, most people just seem to base their opinion on this one clip. The movie would have largely been Sunrise's fault anyway.
It's UC, but for all purposes it might as well have been a completely original tv movie, because aside from the calender and the mention of Sides Gundam doesn't really come into it much. It might have been accepted more if it didn't have Gundam's legacy to live up too if you ask me.
Can't really know why people hate G-Saviour, because it seems that I'm the only person in the world (not counting hardcore Gundam purists) who liked it, the HG kit of the titular mecha is cool, to say the least.
The score is pretty good, and the budget is low because Japan never funds a lot for their movies, that, and Sunrise pretty much put all their faith in a company who never knew how to handle Gundam.
You can't even make sound in space, if every movie with a space action scene had no sound, people would get bored instantly. Just go with the fact it's entertainment.
I watched the whole movie, it was good at first, but then, it was getting worse, the cgi was fine to me, the mecha designs was great(just for me), this is the real problem, its just that... The story doesn't makes anysense ,that's the problem
Well in their defense this was made 13 years ago on a made for TV movie budget and schedule. I would throw in a Canadian joke but some favorable shows are coming from the great white north these days with decent production value. I'm certain that with the proper time and resources a live action Gundam movie would look freakin awesome . . . as long as Michael Bay doesn't get his hands on it.
For a scene from a movie that's supposed to be legendary in how bad it is, that was surprisingly decent B-movie stuff.
This ☝️
Mfs are gettin' hard as shit to please nowadays. Maybe, just maybe it's okay to not be the perfect show or movie, and still be enjoyable? Like, am I alone on this planet in thinkin' this? I must not be human, if this is how most humans think. 🤷

At least I appreciate their efforts in trying to potray what if a real giant mecha moves like.
got to love how even Sunrise tries to act like this movie never happened.
Can you blame them?

I said "ALMOST always".
Someone has to declare "It's a Gundam!" or at least "A Gundam!" everytime a Gundam shows up.
The way the G Saviour flashes it’s shield on and off in close quarters fights is really cool
I discovered this gem in a pawn shop when I was 12, didn’t realize they made a Gundam live action movie. For what it was, I was extremely entertained at the time hahah
Bandai's bastard son. One they only acknowledge long enough to destroy in one of the episodes of Gundam Build Fighters.
The pilots are like playing racing games
Man, mobile suits in G-Savior were really sturdy. If any mobile suit form earlier in the U.C. took that much damage, it would've detonated.
I can imagine G Saviour and Zilla being drinking buddies at the local pub.
Run by Ugly Sonic.
Some of the concept designs for G-Saviour are fucking brilliant, especially when you see all the equipment and adjustable body parts that was possible, but just never surfaced in this movie because Sunrise never gave a shit.
I hear that G-Savior was actually going to be include in the SD Gundam games according to unused theme songs and names
I guess that wasn't too terrible. More strange than anything...

Pacific Rim was awesomeness, this movie is the opposite of aweomeness.

I won't be satisfied until this makes in to srw. Also until that new series comes out this is the bridge between the Universal and Correct centuries.

Crossing the uncanny valley is a difficult one indeed, and hand animation makes the uncanny valley nonexistent.
Always love the heaviness the movie try to present…..
I want to hate this, but I can't the clunkiness of the mobile suits is surprisingly realistic.
It's called a mobile suit not a slug suit, no one wants to see a gundam battle where the giant robots move like snails.

Realistic if the tech isn't as futuristic as Gundam is supposed to be

@@seth0023Well, since the production house, having zero knowledge of space battle in Gundam. You may hate it but this scene alone is becoming a stepping stone for bringing more realistic battles in Gundam, such as in MS IGLOO and Evolve.
@@freedom4651 but how does it make more sense? I never said i hated it
This actually isn't that bad of a movie, in fact, most people just seem to base their opinion on this one clip. The movie would have largely been Sunrise's fault anyway.
There's a lot they got wrong. But it's a nice attempt. I'm all for it.
It's UC, but for all purposes it might as well have been a completely original tv movie, because aside from the calender and the mention of Sides Gundam doesn't really come into it much. It might have been accepted more if it didn't have Gundam's legacy to live up too if you ask me.
Can't really know why people hate G-Saviour, because it seems that I'm the only person in the world (not counting hardcore Gundam purists) who liked it, the HG kit of the titular mecha is cool, to say the least.
Jordan Vogt-Roberts we believe in you!
@pkscarr this is one of the best gundam-related comments I have ever seen
The score is pretty good, and the budget is low because Japan never funds a lot for their movies, that, and Sunrise pretty much put all their faith in a company who never knew how to handle Gundam.
You can't even make sound in space, if every movie with a space action scene had no sound, people would get bored instantly. Just go with the fact it's entertainment.
some epic CGI there
I watched the whole movie, it was good at first, but then, it was getting worse, the cgi was fine to me, the mecha designs was great(just for me), this is the real problem, its just that... The story doesn't makes anysense ,that's the problem
hahaha the acting.. its all about the face.. hahahaha making faces when in the cockpit
another reason why hollywood should keep its hands off anime
Well in their defense this was made 13 years ago on a made for TV movie budget and schedule. I would throw in a Canadian joke but some favorable shows are coming from the great white north these days with decent production value. I'm certain that with the proper time and resources a live action Gundam movie would look freakin awesome . . . as long as Michael Bay doesn't get his hands on it.
