Description
From director Yoshiyuki Tomino (Mobile Suit Gundam) -- U.C. 0123. After a generation of peace, the Earth Federation has begun to build new space colonies to house humanity's growing population. But a new force, the aristocratic Crossbone Vanguard, plans to seize the colonies of the newly constructed Frontier Side for itself. As their home becomes a battlefield, a handful of young civilians struggle to escape the conflict. To save his friends and family, the reluctant warrior Seabook Arno becomes the pilot of a new Gundam which bears the code name F91.

Set in the year 0123 of the Universal Century--the main Gundam continuity--F91 the Movie premiered in Japan in 1991. Although she was raised as a normal girl in the space colony of Frontier IV, Cecily Fairchild is really Berah Ronah, the daughter of a powerful, aristocratic family. Her father and grandfather are plotting to create an extraterrestrial empire, Cosmo Babylon. But they didn't factor the Gundam F91 and its New Type pilot Seabook Arno into their calculations. With Seabrook at the controls, the F91 can defeat any number of lesser mobile suits from the Ronah private army, the Crossbone Vanguard. F91 the Movie suffers from too much plot for its limited running time: Enough material for at least one season of a TV series has been crammed into just under two hours. The crises end before they really begin, and the characters remain underdeveloped. The two-disc set includes a version with 5.1 Dolby Digital audio and a number of minor extras. (Rated PG-13, suitable for ages and older: violence) --Charles Solomon

BRAVO!, 2009-03-19
I really enjoyed this movie. I found it somewhat humorous in the fact that they literally crammed an ENTIRE series into one movie. and it worked! haha
but the movie came in a very timely manner and in fantastic condition. yay :)
Okay, Good MS designs, 2008-03-28
Best part of the movie was towards the beginning when they run into this Museum of War and in the background you can see both a Zaku and a Gelgoog collecting dust(but I'll bet still operational), that was worth the entire movie right there.
a fine work of art, 2005-11-30
Another masterpiece in the extensive Gundam series. In the year 0123 of the Universal Century, Seabook Arno, his father, and his younger sister, Reese, live in a space colony. Their mother has left them to go and work as a engineer, and has also built the F91, which Seabook has been chosen to pilot. Well, I won't spoil it all. I'm not that good at describing things.
Animation-beautiful. Battle scenes just flow and everything is perfect. 5/5
Voice Acting-Youger kids are AWFUL, but all the older people are pretty good. Reese just has that voice like "NAH NAH NAH I GOT THE LAST COOKIE!!!!". Overall, it's pretty good. 4/5
Dub-Not sure if the dubbers pulling our chain or what, but the dub matches what the sub provides almost to the "t". I'll just base it on what the subtitle says, even though it probably isn't right. 4.5/5
Music-You don't really hear much music in this except for the theme (don't remember the name) and background music, but what I've heard is pretty good. 3.5/5
Overall Rating-5/5 Animation is great. Dub is great (if it's correct). Music is beautiful. Voice acting, meh, pretty good except for the young kids. Storyline is great, except there's enough material for almost a full series here, all crammed up into about an hour and a half.
Good for hardcore fans, not so much for others., 2009-12-02
Overall a great attempt, F91 was supposed to be a show. It got canceled though and was turned into a movie, so the cost of production could be recovered [attempted anyways]. The movie is rushed to the point that many of the characters seem to be important (if that) for only a period of maybe a minute, and then they fade to obscurity. The animation and sfx are good, and its worth adding to a collection just because of the name it falls under (for hardcore fans mind you), but in saying that - it is also a huge flop from the gundam metaseries and shouldn't be on EVERYONE's shelf. If I had to give it a pass/fail score, my opinion is 4/5 stars, just because of the rushedness of it. If they added maybe an additional 40 minutes, this could have been one of the greats. I would recommend it if one could get it at a decent price.
ALSO, DO NOT GET RIPPED OFF. THE SINGLE DISC SET IS JUST THE FIRST DISC OF THE 2 DISC SET! FOR ABOUT THE SAME PRICE, GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR (even though disc 2 isn't anything really that great/commentary and the like).
Note: the disc case these come in doesn't hold the discs in well. When I had mine arrive, the discs were kinda flopping around in there. I was lucky, my mail carriers are good about not roughhousing my stuff so it wasnt scratched to death. Just a fair warning! :D

I always get really excited when they bring over old gundam stories to America. This was no exception. I loved this movie. Especially the sound track. Every gundam fan should add this to their collection.
