Some nice "plot" here and there, the action on the later half of the movie was pretty nice too.

These movies make me want to kill myself.

Allow me to list what I liked:
-The horse KnightMare was cool
-Akito had a cool face at the end
-The ED is alright
-The guy blushing for fist pumping made me chuckle
-Lelouch (it's so obvious, I'm not even going to bother referring to him as Julius)
What I didn't like:
-Everything else

This movie was so painfully bland and average it hurts me. The fact that this has the Code Geass name is an insult to the franchise. The animation probably was WORSE than the last movie and the CG continues to be some of the worst I have seen in any anime (seriously, if CG is 75% of your show make it decent). The characters continue to be bland and one note. I have no reason to care for anyone in this movie. The plot made no sense at all. What was the purpose of their mission? What did they accomplish? All they managed to do was lose a battle. And don't even get me started on how they started pulling words out of their asses that mean nothing to the viewer. What the fuck is a Malamud Flash? Stop doing this. I don't care who you are. Hollywood, Japan, Australia... In a fictional setting, throwing words around that mean nothing to the viewer doesn't make your world interesting. It makes me annoyed and confused. This shit gets a 5/10. I know I'm coming off as really angry, but that's only because I believe this movie is pissing on the franchise. Compared to other shows that I have below 5, it is alright.

Julius what now? That is Lelouch, it has to be. One thing I really want to see from this series is a fight between Akito &and his group and Suzaku, it would be such a blast. Akito influencing his group with his neuro powers and Suzaku with the help of Lelouch’s tactical instruments. It would be amazing.

Definitely more entertaining than the first movie but still not great, to be honest.

Animation Quality, especially during the space scene and the exhilarating action, was top-notch yet again and here’s to hoping this’ll be the case with the remaining 3 movies.

Starting to warm up to the MC now too, it seems.

A few questions brought up , meanwhile. Most important of which is surrounding the Geass ability - how’d the others, but not the leader, fall for the MC’s Geass-ed effect? I don’t recall any such “transmission” method from the OG series and aren’t the eyes required in the first place? And the other that’s obviously top priority too is how the heck Lelouch is here, since Geass can only be used on the same person once and Charles clearly used his one up at the end of S1.

I know I probably shouldn’t take this series so seriously since I’ve heard of potential plot-holes in advance but these kind of really irked.

Anyway, 2/5 done and 3 more to go. I wonder how things will play out from here and ultimately conclude.

It feels like some random mech anime with the Code Geass name attached to it. The first two episodes barely felt like CG. Where is the fun? Where among this anime's new cast is their version of Lelouch, Jeremiah, Cornelia, Lloyd, or Charles? You know... Someone hamming it up? Everyone here is just bland and boring. It feels way too dry... Too dull. And the soundtrack is pretty unremarkable compared to the great music the series has featured previously.

Btw, while the CG is solid, I feel this series loses a bit of its shine going to CG for the mech fights. I'm not a CG hater, but it made me miss the traditionally animated fluid mech fights from the show and four movies.

Why is Suzaku in Russia? And why is Lelouch going under a different name

Upon rewatching Code Geass 3 times including the recap movies, all the plot holes, dumb writing, plot conveniences & contrivances became more apparent.

The Highly praised ending Zero Requiem also makes no sense and feels contrived and forced to gain sympathy for Lelouch

10mins of pathos sequence and the grandiose opera soundtrack sadly can't fix all the plot holes, dumb writing and contrivances.
He could've kept the throne and made change happen differently. Even the upcoming sequels can't fix any of these.
These are irrefutable facts and the people who watched the show for the first time are blinded by the ending.

I have no interest in the narrative, of course, it's supposed to be a side story taking place in the world out of many side stories that will come in the future (Dakkan Z), but I can't say this is interesting in any way. The action boards were once again the highlights but then again the action doesn't really go anywhere as even after the extensive action piece, the consequences didn't have any big change. Lancelot in the preview.

I swear the full name of the EU is isn't even consistent in the subtitles for the same freakin movie.
For a technologically advanced world with mecha, I'm relieved to see the presence of sub-orbital space flight in this world. The capsules look very Apollo. For an EU missile, I think it should've looked more like the Ariane series, but it looks more Soyuz (ironic given that Euro-Britannia is in control of Russia).
Nice, Leila putting on her pilot suit.

Damn, people weren't kidding about this being 86's spiritual predecessor, even the protagonist's "died before" thing because of his brother. Seems he was the only one to survive the massacre caused by his brother's Geass, the only one to resist his ability.

Akito's own Geass is fascinating, he could spread it to his fellow pilots in wZERO; and use them as drones.

The jazz BGM in Knightmare battles is nice, like a precursor to Gundam Thunderbolt.

Quick Suzaku, before Lord Hyuga takes your place as the token Japanese noble!
Charles has fully brainwashed Lelouch, even covered his eye to prevent his Geass.

Lulu he became a defence advisor i didn't know that lol 😂.
Wow the Ending was INTENSE!.
Really enjoyed the movie.

Animation feel so good. Akito met his bro dude, the one that i thought was a girl. Seems slow progress but fine enough.

Wow! Very intense fight. Julius has the similar image as Lelouch. That eye patch looks really cool.

What would happen to Akito at the end?
