Overview

In 2199, five years after the Gamilons began an invasion of Earth, the planet has been ravaged by the aliens’ bombs. The remnants of humanity have fled underground to escape the irradiated surface. One day, former pilot Susumu Kodai discovers a capsule sent from the planet Iscandar that tells of a device that can remove the radiation from the Earth’s surface. The Earth Defense Force rebuilds the battleship Yamato with a new type of propulsion system to make the 148,000 light year trip to Iscandar in hopes of saving the Earth. Within one year, the radiation will drive the rest of humanity to extinction.

Viewing Notes

A love big goofy sci-fi movies like this, I just wish this one were better. There’s a lot of angsty melodrama on board the Yamato that I find hilarious. “Hey, Earth is about to be obliterated but let’s all sit around and argue about who’s gonna stick around and suicide it with the ship!” Sigh.

The aliens are waaaaaay too powerful and numerous which takes the tension out of any of the battles since you know the Yamato is outclassed.

Meisa Kuroki certainly has a nice smouldering look to her. I need to track down more of her films.
