unrealistic behaviour
19 May 2017
I absolutely get that this is an adaption of an old anime series, and thus you can't just go and change everything.

May contain spoilers, because of nuts.

I can also cope with unrealistic technology, spaceships doing battle over only several hundred meters distance but travelling 158000 light years, spacecraft braking and turning with what must be 1000ands of Gs. Of course nobody is wearing spacesuits during battle or even sits down in crash couches, instead they run around and need to put on glasses when the main gun fires.

What I really hate is when, for no reason at all, some guy that clearly can't delegate, constantly abandons his post to play firefighter, apparently is happier in the cockpit of a fighter craft, micromanages, and never even read the manual gets promoted "acting captain" of a battleship. Starting an affair with a subordinate while the ship is doing a hyper-jump doesn't help..

Speaking of Jumps, why aren't they going to battle-stations before they jump when they know there can be surprises at the other end? So, after being acting captain for bit, the acting captain leaves ship for leading some fighter attack. After which he lands to shoot a bit with assault guns and has to be persuaded to go back to his ship.

To sum up the whole movie: Highly illogical.
