A good movie, but below the level of the original Space Battleship Yamato 2199
If not for the fact that some plot point don't make any sense at all. Even well knowing in advance that we're talking of a Fantasy/Sci-fi Space Opera so you can't expect hardcore logic to apply here. The annoying voice of the new member of the Yamato Crew (reminiscent of your stereotypical ecchi/hentai girl) at the start of the movie doesn't help either, but luckily as the runtime goes on her timbre changes accordingly. And what's up with the god-fearing phrases? I don't remember the praising of any kind of god in the 2199 series...

Amazing
A perfect tie-in between SBY 2199 and SBY 2202.
This movie adds a whole new dimension into the relationship between the crew of the Yamato and Gamilas. It also moves the story of Gatlantis into a more believable arc.
Thus far the whole 2199-2202 SBY series has been better than the 1970s original series.
Enjoying this Space Opera very much.

Only the Live Action film was worse
I first discovered the original Yamato series as Starblazers in 1979 and I've been a fan since. The recent remake of the original series was spectacular so when I got this from Amazon - I was thrilled. Until I watched it. Only the horrible live action movie is worse than this. A horrible mish mosh of unrelated ideas, it's an attempt to force a story out of the Yamato's journey home after the defeat of Dessler. Unfortunately the story they went with - no spoilers - is dull and partially a repeat of better ideas from the original series. In the end this is quite dull and really just a badly done movie. Watch the originals and save yourself a headache.
