jeriendhalHooo boy...
Good Points:
1. CGI Yamato with Wave Motion Gun. Nuff said.
2. Captain Okita is... Captain Okita. Really, what else can you say?
2. Yuki is no longer a bridge bunny/nurse but a kick ass pilot.
3. Dr. Sado/Sane is better as a slightly sloshed Crazy Cat Lady rather than a very sloshed male surgeon.
4. TWENTY FOOT TALL ANALYZER/IQ 9 WITH CHAIN GUNS!!!!!
Bad Points:
1. Dessler/Deslock is now a vague CGI cloud of... stuff...
2. There's a lovely speech about the WWII Yamato serving as a symbol of hope to an oppressed people under attack that must have been quite a revelation to the rest of the former Co-Prosperity Sphere members.
3. Related to Point 1, the Gammilons have been switched from a bunch of pseudo-Kaiser Era Germans to generic CGI monsters. Given length of the movie there was barely enough room for characterizations of the heroes, but still.
4. Oh yeah? Queen Starsha? Not there anymore. Instead we see Yuki get possessed by the "Spirit of Iskandar", which lives on the same homeworld as the Gammilons. Which is bifurcated like Batman's Two-Face in a way that would make a meteorologist weep.
5. The chances of a sequel are rather... dim... given the ending.
