G-Saviour is a Gundam movie that uses live actors as opposed to animation. The actors are actually from Western countries. The Japanese language version of G-Saviour has Japanese dubbed into the movie. It was released in 1999 and intended, along with the ∀ Gundam television series, to be the centerpiece of Sunrise's "Big Bang Project," its 20th anniversary celebration for the popular Gundam metaseries.
Because of weak writing, wooden acting, mediocre mecha designs (the only notable one being the modular G-Saviour mobile suit) and poor continuity editing, G-Saviour is seen as the weakest Gundam offering to date, and is probably the final nail in the coffin of the Universal Century universe. Its year of Universal Century 0223 is the last known year of the Universal Century calendar and only a very few UC products have been made since then, primarily concentrating on the One Year War, or crossovers with popular alternate-universe series like Gundam Wing and Gundam Seed.
There are indications that the movie has actually been officially thrown out of the Universal Century timelime in the Japanese fan-base due to its sub-standard quality and is no-longer canon. However, like the Star Wars Holiday Special, copies still exist and are circulated.
Preceded by: (in universe) Mobile Suit Victory Gundam (in production order) ∀ Gundam
Followed by: (in universe) nothing; end date is last known date of the Universal Century (in production order) Mobile Suit Gundam SEED
