The part where Stella was in the giant mobile suit was great. Other is average, as usual.

I like Stella more then any of the other "Layla" clones.
Layla chose to be what she became. She chose to give her life for Char.
She was just a much better Four then Four ever was.

She never had a choice. Never had a chance. Right until the end non of her actions were her own choosing

Shinn is the most terrible character ever written. And why in the name of everything that's logical would Lunamaria fall in love with her sisters murderer. The only reason I keep watching is because I want to see how the old original Seed gang ends up. I couldn't care less about the Destiny crowd.

The withdrawal symptoms seem too severe for Stella. Fearing Stella's body will be dissected, Shinn intends to return her to Neo and Rey is complicit in helping him take out any guards that notice. Both of their lives have been affected by fighting, war and death but Shinn was fortunate to at least have a family once, Stella never knew such a life. Neo must promise to take her away from the world of war and anything death-related. Such an act is worthy of a court martial but after a while being in the brig with Rey, Durandal himself pardons him. He can see Shinn's noble intentions after all, he is about to expose LOGOS's crimes against humanity that made Stella what she is.

Neo quickly breaks his promise as Stella is to pilot the Destroy Gundam. This is the culmination of Stella being the Four to Shinn's Kamille. Berlin isn't spared at all—this is the military that claims to be avenging naturals, the victims of Junius 7's fall onto Earth. The Minerva crew are formidable against the Windams but takes the Freedom to stop the Destroy, enraging Stella. Revealing the cockpit, Shinn saw that Neo's promise was broken. Murrue also notices Neo's resemblance Mu when he lays helmetless and unconscious.

Rather than ally with ZAFT despite what the EA had done, the Archangel refuses any surrender.

Shinn's SEED mode and coordination with the Meyrin to quickly launch Impulse parts makes for an intense match against Ultimate Coordinator Kira. He returns to the ship victorious and proud but Athrun throws hands against him again.

His affinities to the Archangel, along with photo evidence of him meeting their crew from Lunamaria makes Durandal reconsider him as the Legend pilot.

Cutting certain scenes from this movie has made Meyrin's willingness to help Athrun, undress in front of him and risking death to escape with him all the more rapid. Right after Meer refuses to come with him.

Finally Shinn and Luna are together. I feel more of scenes of them interacting beforehand could've been left in this compilation movies.

With the Destiny fined tuned for him Shinn defeats multiple Destroy Gundams but this induced nightmares of himself killing Stella who piloted the same kind of MS.

The people of Earth are rising up against the LOGOS for their heinous acts, Lord Djibril escapes to allied ORB. Shinn's original homeland has not only took part in offensive war but is now using sovereignty to harbour evil. The Cagalli finally coups Yuna and asserts herself as the active representative of ORB but it's far too late. Her father's last gift to her is the golden Akatsuki. It's coating reflects beams, so the Shinn resorts to a sword.

Kira, who had gone into space in the Strike Rouge, returns in the Strike Freedom with Lacus in the Infinite Justice. Clyne loyalists descend in DOM Troopers to assist and while Neo hasn't fully recovered his memories, he is still the Minerva's enemy and gladly assists the Archangel in the Sky Grasper Murrue allowed him to leave in.
