Summary: The best gundam movie I have seen
Review: This was the best movie I have seen in the gundam series. The movie starts fast with action and never seems to slow down. The humor of the beauty pagent is great to lighten the mood. The battle sequences are stellar. I have had to watch it numerous times just catch all the details. At the heart of the movie is a love story. Two lovers torn apart by family and war, reunited by their special bond. Unfortunatly the lovers are part of the "new-type" story line from the original series.
While the movie itself is great, the dvd is not. The dvd will not play on either of my dvd players. My first copy I had to return because the coding on the disc was so bad. The new copy played better, but died about half way through the presentation. I can only watch the dvd on my p.c.'s rw-dvd drive. The timeline of the gundam series in the special features section was littered with errors. It had wrong dates and even skipped major portions of the gundam history. I may sound a little skeptical, but this dvd just did not have the same quality as any of the other Bandai products that I own.
To sum it up. Movie, good. Dvd coding, bad.

Summary: very nice
Review: After having seen Gundam F-91, I have to wonder why it wasn't released as a series. It easily holds its own as a movie, but it would have been nice to see it as a series. The Crossbone Vanguard made excellent foes and I wanted to see more of them. Further, I would have liked to see more of Seabook, Cecily and their friends. Perhaps Tomino can now go back and make Gundam F-91 as a proper series.

Summary: Gundam F91, and entertaining Universal Century movie
Review: F91 is one of Bandai's next Gundam releases to finally make it overseas. Bandai has mostly been releasing their Alternate Reality Gundam shows (Such as Gundam Wing, G-Gundam, Gundam SEED), so having a little Universal Century doesn't hurt anyone.Taking place many years later after Char's Counter Attack, the Federation is at war with the Crossbone Vanguard. At a colony, young Arno Seabook just wants to live a normal life, until the Crossbone invade his home. Now finding himself cornered, and now the pilot of the experimental F91 Gundam, Arno must save his friends and those he cares about, or die trying. This movie was technically supposed to be a series, but for some unknown reasons, Tomino (The creator of Gundam), had a change of plans and had this become a movie. Why this choice, is still unclear. The plot may seem rushed and compact at times, but it's trying to tell alot, even though it's around a 2 plus hour movie. However, that doesn't stop the story from shining. The animation quality for a movie of it's calibre is VERY decent. I couldn't see any animation errors or faults, so there is nothing to complain about. The english dubbing is above average, as I didn't mind it. Musical score is fairly good too. This DVD also has lots of extras, and has a second DVD to boot. Gundam F91 still isn't the last Universal Century story to be released, we still have a little ways to go. Zeta Gundam is now out, and hopefully soon, ZZ(Double Zeta) Gundam will follow. And hopefully after that, the other UC stories and AUs to boot. Until then, enjoy this movie, as I know I enjoyed it.

Summary: A compelling story...
Review: From Tomino Yoshiyuki, the original author of the Gundam epics, comes another space opera story, this time in the form of a feature length film. Gundam F91 was originally intended to be a year-long series, but due to funding issues, was relegated to movie status, therefore hampering the overall pace of the story. There are many parts which viewers will wish had been more well-developed. Still, there is enough in this movie to make it great to watch, even when viewed simply from an aesthetic standpoint, as the animation and colors are beautiful, and the suit designs for the enemy army (Crossbone Vanguard) and the Earth Federation are, to put it plainly, just amazing. Anyway, despite the pacing problems, I definately reccommend this to any sci-fi animation or Gundam fan.

Summary: The Best Gundam Movie Ever
Review: I saw the film this past summer at the Otakon premiere in Baltimore. Having previously seen Yoshiyuki Tomino's original Gundam movies, I didn't quite know what to expect with this new film. Boy was I surprised. Unlike the other Gundam movies like Char's Counterattack, I was able to enjoy F91 without having any predisposition on the background or the world. It was a nice self-contained story with albeit 1990's animation, the action sequences of the mobile suits are top notch. Gundam F91 follows a young man caught up in a conflict between his home colony and a group known as the Crossbone Vanguard. With several twists and turns, relationships are key to a very fun movie. I hear that Bandai will be releasing this film as a Special Edition with remixed audio and a commentary track, its not out yet, but just based on the movie itself, I highly recommend it

Summary: NO CROSSBONE GUNDAM YOU"VE GOT TO BE JOKING ME!!
Review: The only reason why I bought this was because of the reviews and if you evened heared about the Crosbone Gundams that the Crossbone Vanguard aka the bad guys were never seen the movie is really long and boring the fights were good but they were too fast and there was three really good fight only because they last a longer much longer then a couple minutes when the rest were less then a minute the movie is too short and does a horrible job at the end saying "this is only the begining..." yet this movie was made in the 90's and was release in america only a couple years ago it's very sad but the crossbone was in the manga so i was upset because i expected the F91 and the Crossbone to have a good fight and I REALLY WANTED TO SEE THE CROSSBONE IN ACTION oh well but i do belive there isn't going to be a sequal but it is something nice for a gundam fan to have.

Summary: Review from Die-Hard Gundam Fanatic
Review: This movie is amazing! Not only does it focus on high speed mobile suit battles, but also on the tensions within the Earth Federal Forces, as well as the unseen conflict between the EFF and the Crossbone Vanguard Forces. In other words, in addition to the battle, political, social, and emotional tensions are also explored, making this an excellent movie all around! Not only does it keep you on the edge of your seat, but it also make you ponder the world around you. A must have!

Summary: 2 Disc Set - Directed by Legendary "Yoshiyuki Tomino"
Review: While it doesn't live up to Tomino's "Char's Counterattack", Gundam F91 holds it's place in history.
Gundam F91 makes it's ground in history because it is the first (and possibly only) Gundam title to be shown in U.S. theatres. F91 made it's debut at Otakon and is now making it's way across the states to New York (at the ImaginAsia Film Theater), Los Angeles, Boston, Dallas, Chicago, Houston, and San Fransisco at the Festival of Anime Screening. If you live in or by any of these citys I strongly urge you to go see it! Be a part of Gundam history!
I originally saw this movie on my computer from a R2 DVD rip of it and it is very good! The animation has a smooth flow and looks beautiful.
