Saw the screening of Gundam Seed Freedom. The plot and characters will probably be pretty hard to follow for those who haven't seen both TV shows, and Hisashi Hirai's character designs (Which feature some minor adjustments such as more visible lips for the female characters) don't translate as well to the big screen as well as some other anime.

Kira, Lacus and Athrun are pretty good, Shinn is actually played more as comic relief this time but also has some great moments during the battles.

There's plenty of great Gundam action though (although the CGI used to augment them is a bit obvious in some shots, mainly of missiles) and an "Everything and the kitchen sink" finale (Kind of like ENDGAME a bit).

There's some stuff about a new leader of Blue Cosmos called Michael and the Strike Freedom going missing in the first hour but they're kind of dropped when the main plot unfolds.
