Description:
Although it reprises events from episodes 31 to 43 of Yoshiyuki Tomino's landmark TV series Mobile Suit Gundam (1979), Encounters in Space contains almost 70 percent new animation. Amuro's "NewType" psychic powers come to the fore as he meets Lalah, a lovely NewType whose powerful abilities are exploited by Zeon captain Char Aznable. The struggles between the space-based Principality of Zeon and the Earth Federation, the internecine quarrels of the Zeon rulers, and the duel between Amuro and Char Aznable reach their climax in the epic battle of A Baoa Qu, a Zeon asteroid base. The artists didn't have access to computer graphics when the film was made in 1982, and Encounters in Space lacks the flashy three-dimensional imagery of later mecha adventures. But the superior editing, camera work, and direction more than compensate for any technical limitations. Rated 13 Up: Brief nudity, minor profanity, and violence. --Charles Solomon
