Gundam is my favorite franchise and I am not looking forward to this.
But also, I don't believe a live action is real until it is actually out. I've heard this song and dance of a live action Mobile Suit Gundam too many times. They keep showing actors taking parts but no samples of the Gundam unit itself.
Now there is a live action Gundam movie that was a straight to TV thing that aired in Canada. Its called G-Savior. It wasn't the worst thing I have ever saw, but it wasn't very good. I chuckled when the movie reused props from Starship Troopers, mainly the security forces helmets and guns. I'll be fair and do praise that some parts of the script/story had some very Gundam-esque moments though.
The G Savior Gundam itself won't win points for design, I personally like the wide shoulders it got but the main suit doesn't have much unique features, maybe the energy shield but the Victory Gundam has that already. One great thing though is the bad guy suits!!!!! The villain mobile suits I think honestly look fantastic and feel they could of slipped into an Armored Core game as well. Maybe give G-Savior a try as a "so bad it's good" kind of thing. I had some decent entertainment with me.
