5.0 out of 5 stars The Final Chapter in the Yamato Saga, September 11, 1999

This review is from: Final Yamato [VHS] (VHS Tape)

For all fans of both Yamato and Starblazers, this is the grand daddy of them all. This is by far the greatest and saddest of the Yamato Saga chapters. No words can describe this fitting end to the greatest space saga ever told. A true treasure. Must be bought. A+++++

5.0 out of 5 stars Utterly glorious-my favorite movie!, September 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Final Yamato [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The Space Battleship Yamato series comes to a sad but very worthy end in this fifth installment in the series. The quality of the animation is incredible- I was very surprised when I found that this film was made in 1983; one would think it was made last year. Not only is the animation the best in the series, but the story is brilliant as well. Here it is in a nutshell: the planet Dinguil is flooded because Aquarius, a drifting planet of water, passes by. The planet's royal family and military forces escape in a gigantic ship known as the "Uruku."Emperor Lugarl decides to find a new planet, and chooses Earth for reasons we learn in the movie. He teleports Aquarius bit by bit towards Earth to flood out all life so the Dinguils can inhabit it after the waters recede. The Yamato naturally intercedes on behalf of the people of Earth. Though the mission to save Earth and defeat Dinguil is a success, the Yamato does not survive. I won't reveal any more than that-see this movie, but for goodness sakes, see the other four first!
