“Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway” is a great introduction to the three-movies arc, and one of the best mecha anime movies we have seen during the last few years.

Hathaway features stunning animation, with gorgeous visuals that bring Earth to a far, far away future, a great use of CG that is never distracting, and the thrilling sounds of Hiroyuki Sawano to make the action and emotions hit ten times harder.

Hathaway may be one of the best Gundam movies ever made. It's intelligent without being meandering in ideals and thrilling without being bombastic or incoherent.

Hathaway is a solid Gundam entry, but it's smack in the FFO (For Fans Only) range.
