I can't believe this is getting a movie, I'm guessing this got greenlight because the production of Hathaway 2nd movie delayed (due to covid) and they needed something to fill in.Can' t wait for Doan to use his shining finger... no wait wrong Mobile Suit Martial Arts series.

Yes, mostly for off-model & bad animation and the rather filler-ish nature. The story itself is actually pretty good and sad. It's about a good Zeon soldier who actually protected & took care of the local children/orphans.

One of few man who managed to defeat Amuro huh. Wonder if it will take before or after the episode he appeared in. Though the title has the words "land" on it I guess it would take pace after. And the man deserves his own customized Zaku II (won't happen but want to see).

Rather than CG IMO its more of "RX-78 got a sensible movement? Impossible!"
The detail is awesome (made me wishes Char's got that line details, sticker of series number to make it even) but watching it standing with process like a real robot conflicted with how I'm used watching RX-78 stand almost immediately or how sometimes it legs looked slim due to animators trying to made good pose (e.g. last shooting) back then. LOL.

Looks pretty good! As expected of Origin anime. Doan will be voiced by Shunsuke Takeuchi. For YGO fans, he is known as the super-cool & menacing Revolver from YGO Vrains. As for previous Gundam role, he recently voiced Mafty member Iram Masam from Hathaway movie.

Damn, the trailer is so good it made me wanted to say, "Now that's how you modernized 80's style".
It got the modern movie-standard Gundam quality while the character action and delivery got enough vibe to tell this is not story from current era; some shots felt like they're taking notes from Ghibli movies. Can't unheard Revolver who, after dealing with guilt and Soulburner trauma, now taking care of Amuro through battlefield as Zion soldier.

I've seen the movie. It's really good for what it is: an expansion of an episode about a Zeon deserter who is protecting war orphans as a means of redemption.
First & foremost, I need to warn you that, just like Hathaway, this movie is not a wall-to-wall MS action because (again), like Hathaway, that's not really the point of the story (which I already wrote above). Spoiler for movie events:
A very good Cucuruz Doan movie: 8/10

I thoroughly enjoyed this one for very similar reasons as Obelisk had stated. My own remarks are a bit lengthier and won't fit into the forum post's max char count: a fantastic combination of human elements that makes Gundam thought-provoking, brilliantly animated combat scenes and this time around, comedy in the form of Blanca vs. Kai and Sleggar's GM :P
I do hope more people will have a chance to watch this one; UC fans will enjoy themselves, and I remark here that Cucuruz Doan's Island does one more thing well (in addition to the reasons stated): rather than making viewers suffer a 11 month wait (as Girls und Panzer, Makoto Shinkai and Kyoto Animation are wont to doing), they made the BDs accessible immediately. This is how you do business.

Just watched Cucuruz Doan last night and honestly, I'm in awe.
Even to audience without familiarity with Doan episode, throughout movie the staffs really shown they did the homework, spectacularly. Different from Hathaway where the delivery goes hard from start to finish as if its a machine with high precision, Cucuruz Doan delivered comfy ride, strong reminder of 80's, with classiness of modern Gundam. This one is part I appreciated a lot from Sunrise as nowadays we got plenty remake but most of them come out as quick cash grab happened because there's no blockbusters available anytime soon; not many willing to explore how to emulate 80's-90's charm that made that work something to be remembered, let alone properly timing when to be modern and when to be a classic. When it comes to VA, well, I have to say Furuya Tohru went 120% here. He really bring young Amuro naivete back, something I didn't expect after used to his 'serious, older Amuro' voice for his clones like Ribbons (00) and Amuro (Detective Conan, no kidding his name is Amuro; also known as Furuya on his flashback. LOL). Shunsuke Takeuchi voice act is also amazing; too good I expected he's the typecast for the rough, gentle big bro roles in future after Doan, if not chuuni works antagonists like Revolver. Definite score, 8 of 10 from me too. Fun ride, nothing extravagant, just enough for everything (Gundam reputation, Doan story, etc), definitely my bar for 'test for remake / reboot' anime. The minus is only, you at least need to be familiar with Zeon. It easy to mistaken them as band of Sunday cartoon villain in front of chad figure like remake Doan.
