Movie Reviews of Robotech - The Shadow Chronicles Movie (Two-disc Collector's Edition)
Movie Review: Knew this would never sell as a complete series.
Summary: 3 Stars
This was supposed to be a new series, but they werent able to finish it and edited what they did have into a movie. The same thing happened twenty years ago with Robotech the Sentinels.
The best thing Harmony Gold could have done, would have been to simply buy three more similar Japanese TV shows and splice them together, reedited to create continuity with the original series. It worked the first time.
The reason the original Robotech was great was because Harmony Gold did not create it in the first place.
So there is no reason to think this would be as good as the original, since none of the original Japanese writers participated in the development of this story. In response to all the fans of the original who were dissapointed
by the unresolved SDF-3 storyline: Catch a clue folks. There is no resolution to this because the original Macross
show contained no such storyline. It just ended. Everyone who watched this show in 1985 knew that, like
Macron 1 and Voltron, Robotech was made of three shows that had nothing to do with each other. Keep your expectations realistic and you will not be dissapointed. Rick and Lisa cannot return at the end of Robotech because they never went anywhere in the original Macross show.
Macross, Mospeada and Megazone (the OVA used to create Robotech: The Movie) have all had several sequels and spin offs in Japan. These are what Harmony Gold
should have purchased to make a new Robotech, but they squadered the opportunity.
Speaking of Robotech: The Movie. This really needs to be released in North America. It has become legendary,
and, even if it is bad, Robotech fans in America deserve a chance to see it. (Bootlegs are available, but look and sound awful.)
