firstly, the movie is very hamstrung together. The pacing of the movie is suffocating. It jumps from one plot point to another and another.

there is no character development. In the beginning, it initially tease Kira as mentally unstable or deranged, with the effects of his conversation with durandal and the destiny plan, even hinting at an obsession with it.

the main villain Orpheus (or whatever his name is idk) is something out of fanfiction. He and the entire black knight squadron can read and manipulate minds. In addition, Orpheus desperately wants to bang lacus (to the point he attempted to rape her)

the movie has all the issues of destiny (constant flashbacks, nonstop reuse of old footage (yes Nicol getting sliced again) and lacklustre use of characters (Agnes especially)

Agnes is a character that can be described as a flay clone but not only exhibiting her bad traits but written even more poorly than flay herself

this movie was written with a boner. Literally you have boobs swinging left and right and athrun showing next level resistance to mind control by thinking of an aroused cagalli (I’m not making this up, those who have watched it can corroborate this.

strike freedom has a katana and impulse has three new color schemes… yay

the whole last arc is just super robot wars

Overall, this movie was a mess. You could tell the story was stitched together with plot points and not a story. In fact, this should have been a third season of Gundam seed, not a movie. Had this been a season instead of a movie, this movie could’ve worked.

Skimmed through comments on Chinese forums. We have

Enemies who can read minds / mind control

Archangel was blown off.

Kira cried because Lacus was NTRed away.

Athrun escaped mind control thinking of aroused Cagali

Shinn can’t be read because there’s nothing to read.

Movie ended with Kira and Lacus on a beach.

The only casualties seemed to be the Dom pilots

For MSs, we have Strike Freedom in a new backpack with a katana and ZZ style head laser, Infinite Justice enclosed in Z’Gok build fighter style, Akatsuki with a new backpack later borrowed by Destiny, different forms of Impulse in new colours, new Duel and Buster Gundams using Meteor.

Edit: enemies were to revive Destiny plan while Shinn delivered the final blow to their weapon of mass destruction. Massive win for Shinn fans. Flay and Stella appeared as space ghosts. New character voiced by Houko Kuwashima survived. Athrun and Cagali got married.
