Synopsis

Born under the shadow of a legendary Federation officer, Hathaway Noa finds that heavy legacy all the more complicated by the fact that he's secretly leading a terrorist organization. Set in Universal Century 0105, the Earth Federation has become bloated and corrupt, squeezing both Earth and the space colonies while the planet itself decays. Hathaway, haunted by the ideals of Char Aznable and the wars he witnessed as a kid, takes up the alias 'Mafty Navue Erin' and starts assassinating Federation officials. Then on a routine flight, he crosses paths with Kenneth Sleg — a sharp Federation officer — and Gigi Andalucia, a mysterious woman who seems to see right through him. What follows is this tense, slow-burn cat-and-mouse dynamic where Hathaway's double life starts cracking at the edges. The whole movie carries this weight to it, like every conversation could unravel everything. Sunrise put together some genuinely stunning animation here — the mecha battles feel massive and grounded in a way that hits differently from most Gundam entries. Hiroyuki Sawano's soundtrack layers in perfectly without overdoing it. If you liked the political tension of Char's Counterattack or the mature storytelling in Gundam Unicorn, this is right in that lane but with a darker, more contemplative edge. You don't strictly need deep UC knowledge to follow it, but it rewards fans who have that context. It's a movie that sits with you afterward.

I'm going to write this review from people who didn't dive deep into Gundam's universe so if you're the same one, then let me know your comment abt it First and foremost, I really love the visual they bring on this movie damn sumpah how do I put it in words but it was beautiful sih. I also found out that it was based on a novel, and as a movie-watcher only I actually didnt understand what Gigi's main role here LIKE... I think if you understand Gundam's very well too, you'll still think abt what significant role does Gigi have except for being Hathaway main attraction... Which led into something ridiculous happened in The Sorcery. But shrug it off first, I think this movie captivated the federation's minus only in the point of view of our MCs. And with that, we never really know what public sentiment r hold against these higher ups. I think it'll be fun if we ever have the different viewpoint. Hathaway aint a likeable character too if I could say. Not the type with a great charisma, but he surely know what he's doing.

Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway terasa lebih seperti sekuel langsung dari Char's Counterattack , dan film ini benar-benar memperlihatkan bagaimana peristiwa di CCA memengaruhi Hathaway. Desain karakternya juga sangat bagus, terasa seperti perpaduan gaya klasik Gundam dengan gaya realistis. Adegan aksinya cepat dan intens, meskipun kadang agak sulit melihat apa yang sebenarnya terjadi. Karakter-karakternya juga bagus, walaupun ada beberapa momen di mana aku sempat menanyakan siapa karakter tertentu. Secara keseluruhan, ini adalah film Gundam yang sangat kuat dengan visual, atmosfer, dan fokus karakter yang bagus.
