Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Edmund Bloxam Action movie, fine. Point the gun shoot it. 100 SPACE SHIPS ALL SHOOTING. They all miss! A person in the middle of a corridor, being shot at from either side. THEY ALL MISS. This is so we can see a person kill them with a sword in an age when the sword is a pointlessly outdated weapon.The plot? The 'twist', or dark secret that emerges at the end, at this point the movie is hinting at complex themes. Then all the plot lines converge in a complete mess. What is 'dark matter'? Sounds sci-fi, right? No, it does whatever the magician wielding it wants to do. Not to mention some kind of magical 'space clock' thing that doesn't make any sense. This required the characters to put things in places, thus enabling the ship to go different places. Then the Gaia council has a super space weapon FROM NOWHERE. Guess what. IT MISSES. Why? Well...erm...dark matter...So the ship crashes and everyone is pictured dead. One of the characters literally disintegrates in front of our eyes. Then everyone wakes up, the disintegrated person walks back into the room, and the ship just 'wakes up' and they fly off.I think there's incest in this story. There was a bizarre love triangle that barrels its way into the final act, alongside the other plot elements. Some of the characters may or may not be related. It is not clear. Nothing that happens makes any sense. Two characters point guns at each other so often, we forget who's on what side.If I am to watch this simply as an action movie, then guns that always, always miss don't make any visual sense. Everything in this movie is a complete and total mess. This was all CGIed, so such poor choreographing cannot be blamed on budgeting. You would literally have to plan out a digital image story board where over one hundred ships miss, (or seem to explode around the ship not doing it any damage), and you had to story board those corridor scenes. Unforgivably stupid movie on so many levels. Fails on every level.

goodkinginc I never watched the TV show or read the cartoon but I really enjoyed this. Maybe it's because I had no source material to go by. I loved the CGI. I don't understand all the negative reviews beyond the fact this it's probably due to people who are diehard fans feeling let down. The look of the film in great and I liked the story.

lauren-467 This one is pretty bad.The film has one disabled character in a lead position, which raised my hopes of diversity. One line of dialogue/subtitle seems to say that he'd be prime minister otherwise and that fortune doesn't favour the "ill-equipped". This may be a translation issue, but I found it pretty offensive.The film is set in a dark future at the end of mankind. Almost all of humanity's women seem to have died out already, and only a few skinny underwear models survive in a population mostly made of men. The evil disabled dude has what seems to be a giant space phallus to shoot spaceships with. Humanity's leaders only seem to seek advice or give responsibility to the good looking. This led us to wonder if this is the logical conclusion to the Zoolander universe. The plot is awful, and frankly makes no sense. I'm not going to spoil it here, but if you want to watch it, know what you're getting into. I normally love bad and cheesy sci-fi films, but this one crossed a line for me.The CGI animation is good though.

Felipe Pinho I have finally finished watching it. Every time that I laid down my girlfriend's side to see it, I slept. Not because is a bad movie, it is not. I was always too tired. But after 3 times I did and I really liked.I'm a fan of Japanese movies and is not the reason that I did like it. OK, the story is a little lame and with some gaps in it, but everything else compensates it. Music, animation and the hope that more movies are about to come.Plot: 4 Acting: 8 Music: 6 Effects: 8 Production: 6 Directing: 4 Entertainment: 8Critical Overall: 7Things I've learned with Space Pirate Captain Harlock:Is always a chance for redemptionIf you lose hope try listening to your crewIf you are immortal and you have to fight against armed foes, always use a sword. SWAG at the highest level.
