Studio: Starz/sphe Release Date: 05/28/2002 Run time: 120 minutes Rating: UrA recut version of the four-part OAV (1994), the Macross Plus movie plays like a mixture of Top Gun, Gundam Wing, and Key the Metal Idol. It’s 2040 on the planet Eden: former high school rivals Isamu Dyson and half-human/half-Zentraedi Guld Goa Bowman have become rival mecha test pilots. They’re also still competing for the affection of Myung Lone, the producer for cybernetic singing sensation Sharon Apple. When an illegal “bio-neural” chip is implanted into the computer that generates Sharon, she becomes sentient, attacking Myung and attempting to lure Isamu to his death. Wild and crazy Isamu and serious Guld defeat the plot with their hotshot piloting. The film boasts elaborate computer-animated special effects and exceptionally well choreographed aerial battles, but director Shoji Kawamori correctly summed up Macross Plus as “a serious story with a silly plot.” Unrated; suitable for ages 16 and up: Nudity, violence, sexual situations. –Charles Solomon

No, I haven’t seen it and perhaps it would be quick to judge without my seeing it, but every Anime fan I know of who has seen it essentially said it was awful. So awful that in fact all sequels based upon the Macross universe just pretended that the events in this movie never really happened (Just like Highlander II)
I’d spend my hard earned bucks on something else, like Macross Plus (now there’s a good Macross movie)

I gave it 4 stars, because I have seen the cable version and enjoyed it. Unfortunately, this DVD IS NOT dubbed in English. The hardcore anime fan usually prefers the Japanese with English subtitles version. Well that’s not me. I admit the English voice actors usually sound overly hormonal, but I tend to watch these movies at night, while I am lying in bed and particularly during the second, third, and so on viewing, the last thing I want to do have to concentrate and read subtitles. So I made it 1 minute in the movie, then re-boxed it and returned it to Amazon. It’s a shame, because I looked forward to it.

This is a must have for Macross fans. This movie, all the episodes together. Brings life back to the Macross. The story line is excelent and the animation is just a good. With out giving away the movie, I would have to say it is a must see.
