Quotes
Juzo Okita: Attention, all remaining ships and battle groups. We will retreat. We no longer have a single ship that can prevail.
Mamoru Kodai: Captain Okita, this is Yukikaze, Captain Mamoru Kodai! I cannot obey your command to withdraw! I could never show my face to the friends I've lost!
Juzo Okita: Whether you agree with it or not, the withdrawal is my order, Kodai. We're all that's left to defend the Earth. A true man bears the humiliation of today for the sake of tomorrow.
Mamoru Kodai: I don't think so! Even if it's hopeless, we can still take our enemies with us! Isn't that what a man does?
Juzo Okita: Kodai! Hear my order: Withdraw!
Mamoru Kodai: I'll fight while you withdraw, Captain Okita!
Juzo Okita: Kodai, don't say such a stupid thing!
Mamoru Kodai: Captain Okita... we're proud to have fought with you.

In short - wait for DVD.

In all honesty, I cannot say a lot of good things about this movie. It seems to be a mashup of a few Sci Fi films from the past decade or so, directed in the style of Michael Bay.

Seriously I was half expecting to see Bruce Willis reprise his role or Kodai's last line to be "We Win, Gracie"

It was as if they had planned to do a great movie, Saw the stunning success of Star Treks' reboot and thought "yeah the Yamato franchise is tired as hell,. let's kick it in the guts and see what reworking we can do"

The best analogy is ST but Kirk being replaced by Kirk's Dad and the USS Kelvin at the end and thats it.

there were some original bits but more likely as not cribbed from a few hits. I don't mind reverse stealing of film ideas tho..

It's the execution I found so annoying with this film.Wanting. The acting was on a level best found with year nine drama students, the dialogue was overly melodramatic at best and while the CG was great its attempt at Galactica Style character discovery and analysis fell down horrifically flat. Seeming forced and contrived.

The worst part is I KNOW it could have been a paradigm better than what it was. Ought to have gotten Ron Moore to rework the script and storyline. They did take some JJ Abrams directly in as much using Real ship settings for some parts like the hangar decks. It may even be salvageable, if re edited. At around 120 minutes it was Overlong without being special because of its length. It could be made that bit punchier if sped up, and hopefully a better film. BSG had loads of talking and not a lot of Battle CG and it was widely regarded as one of the best TV shows of the decade,.. not just a good sci fi show but a great regular show in and of itself.

The SBY reboot i think needs a reboot
