Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

6 years after the events of both "Zeta Gundam" and "ZZ Gundam", Char Aznable has resurfaced after a few years of hiding to fight for the independence of the space colonies by dropping the former AXIS asteroid onto Earth to cause a worldwide nuclear winter and forcing humanity to live in outer space and evolve into Newtypes. Once again Amuro Ray must fight Char and bring their long time rivalry to an end.Unlike most anime movies based off their respective TV series, "Char's Counterattack" is a direct sequel to the previous Gundam series which ties up loose ends, runs over 2 hours and brings the Amuro-Char UC rivalry to an epic and satisfying conclusion.The animation is much more improved from the TV series with a movie budget and brilliant action sequences between the Gundams especially the final fight between Char and Amuro. Little bit of trivia is that one of the robot designers for the movie was Hideaki Anno who would later go on to make "Neon Genesis Evangelion" another one of my favorite anime series.Voice acting is great for both Japanese and English dubs as both has their original voice actors with Tōru Furuya and Brad Swaile as Amuro, Shūichi Ikeda and Michael Kopsa as Char, the late Hirotaka Suzuoki and Chris Kalhoon as Mr. Bright. All give excellent performances respectively."Char's Counterattack" is a brilliant and epic conclusion to the Char-Amuro era and should not be missed by any Gundam fan. I should note that if you plan on watching the movie, you should be familiar with at least the first two Gundam series, otherwise you might be lost and have no satisfaction when watching this movie.

Char's Counterattack is soaked in melancholy, potent and elegant. It's large use of conversation and character development in between its action may turn off some, but it has enormous payoff when the third act rises. The score is just perfect and the animation fantastically crafted. Film's like this can rise or fall on their main cast yet not only are the lead protagonist Amuro Ray and his adversary Char Aznable throughly fleshed out but the movie is flooded with a vibrant supporting cast that you care about. The fact that its part of a larger canon will discourage a larger audience I'm sure, but even if a virgin viewer doesn't understand all the movie's subtleties its well worth the trip to experience.

Tomino finally cut the kiddy stuff after the fiasco that was ZZ. Unfortunately for everyone in the united states, when CCA was released on DVD and shown on Cartoon Network, only the most die-hard fans of gundam who had gone out of their way to get their hands on illegal copies of Zeta Gundam (and in some cases the even more illusive Double Zeta Gundam) had any idea what was going on. Seeing as the final episodes of Mobile Suit Gundam were never aired in the US because of 911, and Zeta Gundam was just released as a limited edition box set, and Double Zeta will probably not see the light of day for years to come, it made no sense for them to release the theatrical climax that concludes the saga after 3 series and roughly 145 episodes worth of women dying in outer space. And lets face it. Even gundam fans in Japan hated Double Zeta so it's gonna be a looooong time for we get it in the states just to see what happened and how Haman and Mineva are killed/deposed.

The movie adaptation of "Char's Counterattack: Beltorchika's Children", follows the novel almost to the letter. There are only a few minor differences in both versions created by Yoshiyuki Tomino. 1-Amuro Ray is engaged to Beltorchika Irma (Chien Agi in the movie) who also appears in Z Gundam. 2-Some names differ from the movie: Gyunei Guss (Glab Gas in novel), Nanai Miguel (Mesuta Mesua in novel). 3-The origin of the psycoframe is different in the novel as from the movie. The rest of the movie is pretty much exactly like the novel. In the novel Amuro's girlfriend Beltorchika is expecting a baby and the baby plays an important part in the story. In the movie it's the psycoframe Chien Agi uses that is an important part of the story. There are more things explained clearly in the book and are missed in the movie.
