Ok, I just got back from the second viewing, this time with English dub instead of sub, and I like the movie even more.

I actually also like the English version, especially Kira's and Lacus's voice actors. I also like how they pronounce the name of Lacus. It's still close enough to how I would pronounce it if I were just to see the spelling, although sometimes it can also sound like they're saying locust. And speaking of Lacus, was I mistaken or did I see in the credit that her English voice actor is also the English casting director? One thing that I like regarding the difference between the Enlish and Japanese voice actors is that the English voice actors sound more normal to me (less overly emotive/expressive in delivery), which makes for a nice contrast when they do get to be expressive depending on the situation. On the other hand, the Japanese voice actors make the characters more unique with their expressiveness. I personally can appreciate both types and like it if both options are available. Spoiler for Kira:

Yes the new VA for Lacus is the casting director! If they kept the same staff as the TV remasters then the new VA for Murrue Ramius is the voice acting director. I saw it again dubbed last night and found it much more enjoyable. I feel like they'll definitely be doing some kind of prequel OVA in the future to fill in some of the gaps.

Not a cliffhanger - there was no real sense of urgency in the epilogue. It was penned more like a bittersweet ending.
Spoiler:
There are technically no loose ends after the movie, so, yes, if Bandai/Sunrise decide to rest on their laurels and let things stand as such, SEED Freedom could constitute the definitive end to the SEED saga. It does wrap up a few things, especially on the character relations side. As for the afterword, no; Liu Goto mainly talks about the imagery driving some of his writing or being the backbone for certain scenes. The only clue is that Fukuda (on his Twitter account? or it might have been in one of the post-movie interviews) said that he doesn't believe Kira and Lacus will ever "retire". That said, this reads as personal opinion, not an official response. Spoiler:
