Adaptación del anime homónimo creado en los años 70 por el maestro Leiji Matsumoto ("Capitán Harlock"), "Space Battleship Yamato" nos sitúa en el año 2199, cinco años después que apareciesen unos misteriosos alienígenas llamados Gamilas y empezasen a atacar a la Tierra con meteoritos gigantes y dejar su superficie totalmente inhabitable por culpa de la radiación post-bélica. A la raza humana apenas le queda un año de vida cuando se recibe un enigmático mensaje proveniente del lejano planeta Iscandar, asegurando que poseen un artilugio capaz de eliminar la radiación de la Tierra y ofreciendo su ayuda a los humanos. Decididos a salvar el planeta, las Fuerzas de Defensa reconstruyen el acorazado espacial Yamato para poder realizar el increíble viaje que les llevará a más de 150.000 años luz de distancia en busca de un desconocido planeta que puede ser la última esperanza para la raza humana y para la Tierra.

Reseñas
SBY not only has a stellar cast (even the one-liners come from known faces), but its a visually stunning sci-fi story that tries its damnedest to be as impressive as the original anime. The mechs, the AIs, and the Yamato itself are all CGI'd in incredible detail. The flight scenes are also well done, and unlike with many other films, don't feel CGI'd and greenscreened. The graphics just further aid to absorb you in this world.
Although clocking in at over two hours, SBY does feel a bit too short for me--only because the cast is so big, and we don't get the chance to get to know many of them. There's a history between a lot of the characters that, perhaps had I seen the anime, I might've understood. Instead we only get touches here or there of the humanity of the military personnel, and while it is leaps and bounds better than some action flicks, I just wanted to know more.
The relationship between Yuki and Kodai, while steamy, also seems to come too quickly. Perhaps that's the fault of trying to fit a full anime series into a single feature length film, but I also consider it a success--I liked all of these characters so much, loved their relationships complete with baggage, that I wanted to spend more time with them.
The story itself is beautiful, and you're bound to have a misty eye by the end. It's a sci-fi action flick, sure, but at its heart it's about humanity's desire, drive and stubborn determination to survive. And who doesn't get a kick out of an ensemble drama with a crew? I mean come on, crews are awesome. You just want everybody to make it, but you know somebody's going down and you pray it's not your favorite character.
Space Battleship Yamato succeeds, in my opinion, as someone who doesn't know the anime. I think it's incredibly well done, and worth the wait (it came out in 2010, I'm a bit late to the party). I do wish it were longer, or even split into two films, but for what we got, I enjoyed it.
