Editorial Reviews
A cult classic from the glory days of anime blazes to life on the big screen in this feature-length sci-fi epic starring Takuya Kimura (Redline, Howl’s Moving Castle)!
The year is 2199. Mankind teeters on the brink of extinction as the Gamilas, a heinous race of alien invaders, wage an endless war for the right to inhabit the Earth. The last hope for humanity lies on the distant planet of Iskander, and the only battleship capable of attempting the journey is the legendary Yamato. Armed with the devastatingly-powerful Wave Motion Cannon, grizzled Captain Okita and the Yamato’s crew venture boldly into the darkest depths of space. The Gamilas attack at every turn, but fallen hero Susumu Kodai and ace pilot Yuki Mori fight side-by-side for the future of their world. Together, these young lovers unlock the secrets of Iskander – only to face a harrowing voyage home that will change their world forever!

For those who watched the original Space Battleship Yamato (Starblazers in the States) back in the late 70's early 80's The movies premise is primarily based on the first series "The Quest for Iscandar" in which an old Japanese Super Battleship (The Yamato is actually a real historic Japanese Battleship sunk off the coast of Japan near the end of WW II) is rebuilt from within its original destroyed hulk using technology from a distant civilization wanting to help the people of earth save their dying planet. A volunteer squad of military specialist called the "Star Force" (No "Space Force" Jokes intended) leave the earth in the newly designed Yamato to secure the technology needed to save the planet to do so but must return within a years time or it will be to late to save the Earth. Some elements are brought in from the second series "The Comet Empire" (I.E. The Space Marines, The original 2nd series ending, but not the actual Comet Empire storyline itself) . Again while the movie is mostly based on the 1st series of Starblazers some things were added and changed to accommodate the 2hr and 15min run time.
The story, direction, acting, music score (including music from the original anime series) , and yes even the CGI was well done for the budget that this movie was done on. Seeing my childhood favorite anime series as a live action movie just brought more memories how I truly enjoyed this franchise.
If you enjoyed the original anime series as much as I did I would highly recommended it.
FYI: Almost forgot to mention that the movie was originally shot and recorded in Japanese there is however both a English Subtitle and English Dub option on the Blu-Ray.
I hear rumors there is scuttle about Hollywood of a US version being made. Honestly.. this story needs to be a GoT style multi-seaon HBO series, and NOT a single one-shot film. Even at 3+hrs, there's too much story telling. It needs to be a multi-part series at least. But that's a review for another day. THIS review for THIS film, I give it thumbs up. I wish in the English Translated Version they had used the old Animated character names like Derek Wildstar and Captain Avatar, but oh well... you can easily figure out who is who if you know the characters from the English dubbed original animated series.
*WARNING* This version is NOT a Hollywood Film. It does not follow the traditional Hollywood model for a heroic "Save the world" story.

Brief description- world gets all but destroyed by an unseen alien nation known as the Gamilians, then 5 years later the remaining Human race is being destroyed by radiation poisoning and Earths last hope rests on one ship- YAMATO to travel to the far reaches of the solar system to find a cure for the radiation poisoning before its completely destroyed. Think along the lines of Battlestar Galatica, Starship Troopers and even Halo and you'll be on the right track.
My only gripes is in middle act it gets a little slow and the film can be abit melodramatic in places and I would of liked to see the back story explained/shown in greater detail but perhaps the original anime may of done that already.
The positives outweigh the negatives for me tho, the attention to detail is brilliant, it looks absolutely fantastic, the quite phenomenal special effects are mind blowing especially the titular ship itself. The characters I cared for, although not all got fleshed out enough for me, but there's some real bad ass heroes, a feisty female fighter pilot and a cool gun totting robot.
Overall not classic, it wouldn't top any of my polls but it's still an enjoyable film with incredible special effects . Recommended by me. 7/10
On the whole it felt like I was watching a rather drawn out series of cut scenes form a video game rather than a movie.
It's not a bad movie, but it's just not for me.
