Just watched Space Battleship Yamato (2010), the film version of the ‘70s anime released in the US as Star Blazers. It surprised me as I was expecting something quite crazy but got a space opera, not dissimilar to Starship Troopers but with more space battles.
Earth is dying from radiation poisoning and under attack by an invading alien race when an alien pod lands carrying some plans and coordinates from a second alien race. Earth launches one of its last functioning ships, the Yamato, to seek out this benign alien helper and acquire a device to eliminate the radiation poisoning Earth.
It was a bit traditional but really fun. Captain Okita looks so much like an Asian Captain Birdseye that I couldn’t help thinking of fish fingers all the way through. That was something different. Pigsy from Monkey was in it.
