Gundam Wing the Movie - Endless Waltz (Special Edition)

Summary: excellent movie, great story, lots of action
Review: i loved endless waltz, i even have it now. my favorite gundams in this movie are nataku and sandrock. even though it's called "the movie" it is like episodes on tv, except no commercials (thank goodness). what i mean is like it shows what was on the last episode, and what is on the next episode, and even credits after each one. there are three episodes on the movie, but those are all the endless waltz shows ever made. wing zero custom was awesome when it first appeared in this movie, and i liked when gundam sandrock cut that garage door thing open with its two giant heat blades. my favorite scene is when wing zero is up in the air and he blows up mariemeia's shelter with his twin beam rifle. the three episodes are in japanese, but i'll give you their names in order, they are: silent orbit, operation meteor, return to eternity. all in all, i loved this movie. by the way, there's something that may surprise you in this movie, but i'm not telling. watch the movie and you'll see. i'll give you a hint, the secret is about mariemeia. watch the movie and you'll learn more than about mariemeia. it's good, buy it today.

Summary: Japanese Animation At Its Best
Review: First off, the film "Endless Waltz" is a masterpiece. It tells a solid story that expands the Gundam Wing universe and has gorgeous animation. The DVD has great features as well. This is the only place where you'll find the original OAV version and the theatrical version. There are trailers for other animes, though this is kind of cheap. They are only commercials, but good ones nonetheless. The video is crisp and the audio is nice and clear. If you've seen this an episode of Gundam Wing, then buy this DVD because it's twice as good!

Summary: Good Movie
Review: I have watched the entire Gundam Wing series and some episodes of Mobile Suit Gundam and the 08th MS Team. I loved them all. This is a good movie and a great way to end a Gundam Wing fan's hunger for more Gundam Wing. It gives us a real ending to the saga and pretty much rapped things up. The DVD has some nice extras too. The movie was good, but not great. After seeing it 3 or more times it tends to get boring. I would have gave it 3 1/2 stars, but I could either give 3 or 4 and 3 was too low so I gave it 4.

Summary: Awesome Finale
Review: "A must see" for the die hard Gundam fan. The animation is spectacular as is the story. My only complaint the time lag between Disc10 & the movie. And,while to the untrained eye this movie might appear to be,& even be considered an overview of the whole Gundam-W series,it is either the conclusion to the Gundam timeline,(as many will see it),or,more plausebly the prequel to the next Gundam series to come. Sure the narrator states, "...and from this point in time mobile suits,including those called Gundams,were never seen again.,"but we only see the 5 Gundams self detonate,and soldiers & civilians burning weapons in front of destroyed Serpents.(Sorry to ruin the ending...actually I've disclosed nothing.)The Tallgeese III,(which apparently had been hidden from all but 5 people up until the point Zechs comandeers it,)just disappears as do the the remaining Serpent suits.During the credits Zechs & Noin are seen flying off into space in a huge recolonization ship...who's to say he didn't take it with him? After all he is rather fond of the Talgeese suits. This and other scenes within the movie actually allow for a likely continuence in the Gundam series...But, if not it's a great movie in itself and besides which the series only covers a 2yr period.There's still a 195yr gap between the end of the UC timeline and A.C.195-96, this just might be the end of it all...NOT!!

Summary: Give it a chance
Review: I hate how anime always gets a bad rap for the cheap dubs of DBZ,Pokemon and other series that aren't even that good any way. Yeah they are bad, but people who hate anime never give it a chance!!!! This series (and Movie) will turn ANY person into a fan of Gundam Wing. I used to HATE (I mean hate) Anime until i saw an ad for Gundam Wing on Cartoon Network. Since then I was hooked. Watch at least one episode or this DVD, You Wont Regret It!!!!!!!

Summary: As good as the cartoon
Review: I was kind of bummed that they retold the end of the Gundam Wing series with the new Gundams. I was hoping there would be an explanation of these stellar looking machines, instead the story is told as if the Gundam's had always looked like that. Otherwise the story was pretty good and the final battles were intense!

Summary: The BEST Gundam Wing DVD movie that I have ever seen
Review: WOW! This is some ... Gundam Wing movie. Buying it was a good thing. So much detail. First of all, Wing Gundam Zero: big change. No shield, extra wings, and a really great outer shell. The sketches on this thing is marvelous. I loved it, especially it's big bad weapon system: the twin buster rifle! I would rank Talgeese III in second for big guns. And do I mean BIG GUNS! It's beam cannon is the biggest, baddest, longest, strongest hunk of metal they call an arsenal you've ever seen. One shot from that blew up a space sta. Moving down the list, at the bottom, you'd see Leo. One word: STINK! Well, moving on.... The chara are magnificently recreated, including Lady Un (Une). And, guess who's back to join the squadron? I'll give you a hint: former OZ pilot. If you said Treize Kushrenada, you can take your sorry kiester back to M.S. school, cause it's ZECHS MARQUISE, AKA the "White Fang" leader and Milliardo Peacecraft. This guy now works with Un and one special person that he holds in his heart (mushy, ain't it), Lucrezia Noin. *sigh* Aw, what the heck. They're lovebirds, end of story. Well, not quite. Two new chara have entered the plot: Dekim Barton and Marimaia Barton/Kusrenada. You see, Marimaia believes her father is Treize (like he'd have time for a wife), but she's the daughter of Lisa Barton, sister of the actual Trowa Barton. (Note: The Trowa we know is not the actual Trowa, which they reveal in the movie.) Freaky, ain't it? Well, she's a puppet in Dekim's plan, OPERATION: METEOR, the dreaded plan that started this whole Gundam series. Dekim uses Marimaia for world domination. Upon capturing the heroine of the movie, Vice-Foriegn Minister of the Earth Sphere Unified Nations Relena Darilan/Relena Peacecraft/ Former Queen Relena. Of course, that gets Heero ticked off, making him chase down Dekim and Marimaia's butts all the way through space and back. I think I've said enough. Well, you've got to see this movie to believe it. Great animation, visual effects, storyline, chara, and MUSIC (You've got to hear "White Reflection" of the OAV Version and "Last Impression" of the Movie Version. They sound so good......that is, if you truly love music.). The price is FAIRLY reasonable, but I would consider on asking to bring it down just a notch. Maybe five or ten dollars. =) WATCH THIS MOVIE!

Summary: What A great movie but don't Get Bootlegged!
Review: This is an amazing movie. ... Be sure you get the edited version if younger than 9. in the un-edited theres blood (but no guts) and cursing. But there both the same. When they edited it they just changed the words. ... Duo Maxwells Gundam is called Deathscythe Hell Custom. If you have seen the series but not the movie you must get this. It's more of a ending/begging of Gundam Wing. It's one yaer after Heero saved the earth and Wufei killed Treeze Kushrinada. His proclamed daughter Marimea Kushrinada as risen to become leader of earth. Or so she thought she was really being used as a puppet by Dekim Barton. (no not Trowa's dad. after all "Trowa" isn't his reall name, kinda like Heero isn't his real name, all this is explained in the movie) All the gundams where redone by some new people because the scientists where killed when libra Exploded. Actually the new mobile suits arn't new at all there just upgraded. Except Chang Wufei's who's altron he destroyed out of anger for killing Treeze, his new suit is called Nataku. Which is the name of his dead wife who was killed in a Tallgeese by Sally Po when Sally was working for OZ. My favorite one ind endless waltz is HeavyArms custom (custom was added to the names of the upgraded suits, but Wufei's is just called Nataku,) because he has like 92 rockets all together, some homing some heat-seeking. All in all this is a wonderfull movie so get it.

Summary: Highly reccomended to even first time Anime viewers!
Review: This movie is unbelievable. The characters and story are so deep you are on the edge of your seat the whole time. It unfolds almost better than some of the real life movies I've seen, and the reoccurring song "Last Impression" by Two Mix gets your emotions dragged into the story too. Even though it's not a tear jerker type movie, I found myself on the verge of tears, and I very rarely cry during movies. The special edition DVD version is also nice to have because you get it in both Japanese and English. I know some people prefer to watch all Anime's with only English subtitles, so you can get a taste of both. The "Extras" on the DVD include a Gundam Encyclopedia which explains in detail all the stats of the Gundams - including weapon counts and serial numbers, Textless Endings, and Trailers for other Anime series'. As far as violence goes, it's merely Mobile Suit against Mobile Suit most of the time, and machinery blowing up. There is however a scene where two people get shot at the end which might not be suitable for very young children, and I'm sure the edited version does not include that. Overall it was a breathtaking movie that I feel no guilt for buying. Anime lover or not, I'm sure you'd enjoy it!
