    In anime, there is a trend of retelling the story of a show in the form of a film. From Anno's Evangelion to Urobuchi's Madoka, many a series has received this treatment, raking in box office profit even though these films are usually just recycled footage from the shows…

    It was surreal seeing real Macross on the big screen in an American chain theater! But Fathom Events really needs to figure out how to get a higher resolution DCP or whatever the issue is here, it felt a bit like watching a DVD on the big screen.

    Watched in Theaters "Baby Pink Monsoon" yes that was the lyrics to one song in this movie at one point. Not up to par compared to Macross: Do You Remember Love? I guess it really doesn't help I haven't seen the series this is based on, and this is a compilation movie of…

    What starts out as a slightly different compilation film turned out to be something else, liked it, especially the final act. Also, Sheryl really does have a thing for herself huh?

    My favorite part is when Ranka starts singing and it immediately cuts to a dude gasping like “these readings are off the charts.” Hilarious juxtaposition of war and pop stars done in a much more slapdash way than Plus, but still very fun!

    "The False Songstress" is a movie adaptation of the single-season series Macross Frontier. In my previous review of that, I did a quick recap of my layman's understanding of the venerable Macross franchise, but essentially this is high Space Opera. There is a love triangle,…

    A weeb in the audience was using one of those glow sticks like it was a Hatsune Miku concert every time they had a big song moment. And I'm afraid he'll do it again.

    more than just a rehash of the first few episodes of the TV show. more than half was new content and extra visuals for old scenes felt fresh again instead of rewatching an episode.

    Loads of missiles, aliens, and singing in typical Macross fashion. Thankfully this recap movie is much more concise than the TV show it's adapted from, and the additional concert scenes make the whole world feel more fleshed-out in addition to providing some great…

    Wonderful that I was able to see this finally on the big screen after seeing it on a smaller screen... via other sources. One problem was not with the movie itself but, because of some glitch with the projector and staff not knowing, missed much of the pre-movie content…

    Loved it. They didn’t just retell the anime. They explored a little of the “what ifs.”
