I watched NT for the third time and realized there are heavy Christian implications. Its pretty obvious if you view with that lens. It gives me far more respect for the film and what it was trying to accomplish. Brushing aside the very obvious visual metaphors.... Lamb of God, Judas, the disciples. Chasing down the answers you already have been given. Its all there. NT will be discussed highly years from now

I agree to some extent, and that's sort of what I alluded to with the line I said about spirituality in my own life. I am a Christian. I believe Newtypes have always derived inspiration from Christianity- or at the very least the essence of God- and this film is a further exploration of that concept. So, when viewed from that lense, the crazier Newtype stuff that happens makes some sense and I can relate to it from experiencing miracles in my life. Since this was a spoiler review, I should have gone more in-depth on this angle, and I believe I lost some credibility for not fully presenting the amount of benefit of doubt it deserves for exploring that. It's a nice effort how it backs its story up with symbolism. However, most of that subtextual and doesn't elevate the film, in my opinion, past its unfitting story in a highly connected franchise nor its weak grounding elements such as the characters. Undoubtedly an interesting angle to discuss the film from though, and I'm glad you brought it up so I could try to clarify.

Yet for Rita who although became timeless, still chooses to entangled in casualty, when she can just wait at the end of time in order to reunite with her friends, seems tragically sad. Banarger still has his body inside of the Unicorn that he can return to in order to be with Minerva in that spacetime continuum, however Rita is grafted onto the Phoenix like a psychoframe resonance echoes back in time.

I'm glad this Gundam anime is the last Newtype space magic shenanigans because everything after UC 100 they're already irrelevant. I hope Sunrise will adapt Gundam F90 into anime tv series along with Gundam F91 remake as 50 episode series and eventually Crossbone Gundam anime. P.S. I like the Shezzar's Jesta mobile suit more than the 2 Gundams in Narrative.

Narrative seems to be an attempt to put the toys back in the box, to justify the regression in knowledge of Newtypes and Newtype Man-Machine-Interfaces since CCA. Unicorn took those toys and played them out to their conclusion and Narrative put them away.

5:45 Based Yeah NT is the most mid UC ova/movie in recent times. It was originally a side story and I think trying to upgrade that into a sequel movie from Unicorn is a big mistake that must have come from the corporate side of Bandai and not something the creators would have wanted at all. For a movie it is incredibly ugly, almost shameful when Thunderbolt exist or even Unicorn itself.

I liked it for the most part, especially the music but it didn't seem a bit confusing as to where it sits in the timeline the way the movie did it. I feel narrative Gundam was done with two or three movies, like the first one covering the kids past growing up and what happened with the Phenix and it early fights against the banshee, letting us get to know them better and then the second one being what was going on with the kids and phenix during unicorn and then the third movie being the big fight between the sanaiju and Phenix and saving everyone being done to some degree like that. I think narrative Gundam wouldn't had been hated as much as it is P.S. no I'm not only wanting it done that way just to see the banshee get decapitated by the phenix and explain better why it got an upgrade half way through the movie. It's part of the reason but I feel more then one movie would had saved it

I actually like Zoltan, not because he is a good villain but because he is a failure of one. I think is noticeable through the whole movie the theming of failure or not being enough, Jona is not a good enough pilot or newtype to catch the Phenex, Michele is a failure as a Miracle Children since she doesn't have anything supernatural, the main Gundam is a testbed that shouldn't even be used in actual combat. Zoltan is the pinnacle of this theme, meanwhile the other characters are trying to overcome those failures Zoltan pretty much embrances it, he is the main villain because he is the example of what those characters would be if they gone too far, he is underwhelming ideologic on purpose because he even fails to fight for something.

If Unicorn took the newtype spiel and tech levels too far, Narrative dragged them through the mud for another few miles. It has no good reason to exist and it has no good points to bring up. The idea that Neo Zeon is still at large in the way shown in Narrative, powerful enough to give a second Neo Zeong to the actual lunatic they for some reason also gave command of a fleet rather than just throw out as a failed clone is insanely stupid. People say the novel the movie was based on is better, but it has to be fundamentally different to be salvagable as a UC Gundam entry. The only positive tting I can say for this production is the action animation is mostly good - aside from that time they literally reuse Zeta animation instead of making a few low detail frames in a background display

Its main story and plot points is amazing, however, the lack of character development, lack of a solid point and a bit fast paced, telling hinders narrative heavily, there were many opportunities to expand the story such as the Titans and Aeug, but they were mainly skipped and focus on the story, only Banagher could've saved the movie which he did both figuratively and litterally

There's nothing wrong with continuing the UC, it's just that there's literally nothing new here. The same old conflicts rehashed over and over again. The story never moves on, never changes the status quo. Unicorn too me was such a tiresome experience and Narrative just made me drop Gundam completely for a while. Tomino is (metaphorically) dead, all that's left are toys and sometimes basic super robots in a series that wants to be grounded and realistic.
