Quotes
Juzo Okita: Attention, all remaining ships and battle groups. We will retreat. We no longer have a single ship that can prevail.
Mamoru Kodai: Captain Okita, this is Yukikaze, Captain Mamoru Kodai! I cannot obey your command to withdraw! I could never show my face to the friends I've lost!
Juzo Okita: Whether you agree with it or not, the withdrawal is my order, Kodai. We're all that's left to defend the Earth. A true man bears the humiliation of today for the sake of tomorrow.
Mamoru Kodai: I don't think so! Even if it's hopeless, we can still take our enemies with us! Isn't that what a man does?
Juzo Okita: Kodai! Hear my order: Withdraw!
Mamoru Kodai: I'll fight while you withdraw, Captain Okita!
Juzo Okita: Kodai, don't say such a stupid thing!
Mamoru Kodai: Captain Okita... we're proud to have fought with you.

A visual and nostalgic treat!

I watched and loved the anime 'Starblazers' as a kid and now 30+ years on I find out they've made a live action version of the series that I knew absolutely nothing about! Well, I just HAD to watch it, not expecting anything great.... putting my hopes as high as a SciFy movie of the week or a campy Godzilla movie.

Boy was I surprised! The movie does leap right into things without the background development of the main 'spaceship' or real character introductions, but to enjoy the movie, especially if you have any familiarity with the source cartoon, it really didn't hinder it that much. When the 'Yamamoto' took off and the special effects were introduced, I almost crapped my pants! It looked FANTASTIC!! Exactly like my 9 year old mind pictured as if it were brought to life!

This movie is FAR from Shakespeare, but for an action space romp, popcorn munching entertainment vehicle... it sure impressed me silly... especially compared to the dreck coming out of Hollywood these days.

If you have fond memories of 'Starblazers', this is a MUST SEE... even if you never saw the cartoon, I'd highly recommend this as a decent time waster.... you could do far worse!
