I liked the first race and the Gundam part of the battle, even though I didn't know what a Gundam was.

You don't really know much... So you can be excused for not knowing about gundam if it's any consolation.

For not knowing something so obscure as Gundam? Really? No need to be rude. I'm a child of the 80s as well... never heard of that either.

The Gundam part was the one nostalgic reference that threw me off. Gundam doesn't have a time limit, also the limit alarm it made was the same as Ultraman's. So it made me think that it was supposed to be Ultraman he changed into but for some reason they couldn't get the rights to use Ultraman in the movie. I later found out that it WAS Ultraman in the books.

I didn't understand that disparaging remark from @Damienracer . I grew up in the 1980's and wasn't aware of Gundam either. I looked it up and found that it didn't even debut in the US until 1994. I have never been a fan of the art style of anime (or "Japanimation" as we referred to it back then), so it would have never caught my attention even if I had seen it on TV when I was a teenager. How can not being a fan of a specific aspect of nerd culture, such as anime, be a predictor of one's intelligence?

It's Damienracer. That's what he does.

Frankly any movie that makes the Atari 2600 essential to its plot. Is O.K. with me.
