I wonder if we'll ever get this and/or the live action movie in the US.
Though personally, I think I'd want the new series coming up even more. |

While we are with uncertainty about whether or not more "Space Battleship Yamato" films and series will arrive in region 1 DVD and blu-ray in the future, all we can at least do is hope that Skydance Productions gets the license to do its live-action "Star Blazers". I mean, it's been nearly a year since the company last mentioned about it, and we North America-based fans of "Space Battleship Yamato" and its U.S. re-dub "Star Blazers" have been waiting in the cold (metaphorically speaking) since like the late 1990s for more new Space Battleship Yamato/Star Blazers stuff to arrive. |

Similar thoughts here. I wouldn't mind seeing the live action movie, but I have a greater preference for a release of the new series and this movie in North America. |

I'm curious as to how the movie will play out now, because I always assumed the main cut previously released *was* the extended cut.
There's a part in the movie where it feels like it's drawing to a close, then it branches rather obviously into one of the two endings they described (defying fate or accepting fate) and continues for another ten minutes or so. |

There were some unresolved plot threads in the previous version that I hope they iron out in this one, since additional sequels in the old continuity seem quite unlikely at this point.
That scene where Kodai talks about Kato with the new pilot appears to be new; any attempt at fleshing out the new characters is welcomed. |

Personally I don't think a US version would work - from the over dramatic character interations, to its space-opera logic, Yamato is very much Japanese in its DNA imo. A Hollywood version would be fun and flashy, but I doubt it would be Yamato.
(and the Japanese live action version isnt half bad - heck I saw it twice at the cinema!). As for Resurrection, Enagio has stated on several occasions that it was the first film of a planned trilogy. Unfortunately it bombed at the box office (really stupid release timing), but if 2199 does well enough I'm sure that Enagio will look at continuing/finishing the trilogy - as recently as late last year (as well as earlier in the year at Yamato Party), reps from Enagio said that potential sequels hadnt been ruled out. One things for sure, with this, 2199, the CG Captain Harlock and Leiji Matsumotos recently announced Space deadnought Mahoroba, we will be in no shortage of epic space battles for the next couple of years! |

The 3D specialFX still look like from what we've seen 20 years ago though.
If the live-action Yamato movie is anything to go by, most of its viewers are in their 40+s, with ~80% being in their 30s and over. Suffice to say, Yamato is not capturing Japan's youth. So that does not bode well for an anime, which is usually the domain of youths. |

And yet Starblazers was pretty fairly accurate for the time.
