What to say about this final installment in the Yamato saga? It's good in almost every department; I'm surprised that it remained so obscure since animation quality is par Nausicaa and screenplay actually makes sense. Well, to some degree anyway. This is probably because it's closely tied to the previous installments which is a shame, really, because 5 minutes invested in brief character introduction could make a real good stand-alone feature film.

Character designs are quite different from the classic Matsumoto style found in previous installments and they seem quite fresh even today. Unfortunately, animators tried to save a few pennies by reusing stock footage from previous movies, creating quite severe continuity errors.

This time, Yamato mustn't save earth only from evil invading aliens, but there's also a natural disaster that needs to be taken care of - quite an interesting twist in clicheised 'bad aliens want to destroy our beautiful Earth' kind of plot. Even so, this film requires several big leaps of faith from the audience and leaves quite a lot of loose ends.

Some characters from the original series are brought back into the picture, in an uniquely cheasy way.

In all, this is a quite good movie that could've been a lot better. I couldn't really recommend this to first-time viewers, as they will probably seizure and curl up in a ball on the floor after about two hours throughout this movie. But if you happen to know the cast of Yamato and are willing to sit through three hours of this picture, you're in for one helluva ride. Recommended to fans.
