Are these two the same or not? I can't tell by reading the entries...but if the movie is the one referred to in the passage I copied from an ANN article below, shouldn't it somehow reflect that? The entry for the movie is really...sparse for something that's been out for so long, and I'm unsure how or what to add to it to show the difference between the OAV and the movie:

Aquarion Movie Set for Fall Premiere in Japan

"Moon Phase reports that the movie edition of Genesis of Aquarion is scheduled to premiere this fall in Japan. The Sōsei Shinwa-Hen (The Chapter on the Myth of the Orb of Genesis) movie will be based upon the two videos, Uragiri no Tsubasa (Wings of Betrayal) and Taiyō no Tsubasa (Wings of the Sun), that were produced after the original mythological robot television series. The showing will also include a humorous theatrical short titled "Ippatsu Gyakuten-Hen" ("The Chapter on the Sudden Reversal of Fortune")."

I don't know how exactly their stories differ but they have very different Japanese titles and release / premiere dates. However, from what I've read the movie might be a compilation of the OAV (plus the humorous short).

I realize that - but is it possible that the movie entry is a theatrical release, with the title that is mentioned in the ANN article I quoted, and the OVA is correct as well? If that's the case, then the movie should be listed under its Japanese title, since it was never released in the US (or any other English-speaking country) - or would that be incorrect?
