The live action version of Space Cruiser Yamato. It is quite faithful to the Yamato story lines, hence my summary above.... (for those of you not familiar with the Yamato animes, they all end the same way).
I am caught between disappointment and being satisfied with this movie so I will break it down into pros and cons.
Pro - Great CGI work especially the space action sequence. Pro - It adheres to the Yamato story lines. Pro - Quite abit of action.
Con - unfortunately the CGI accounts for very little of the movie, less then 10% IMO. Most of the movie is filmed in badly and cheaply made sets. It goes from the beauty of the CGI to bad B movie sets. Con - The acting in this movie is WOODEN. The anime characters are able to portray better feelings and emotions!! The lead actors acting abilities are almost non existent.
