I love this movie so much

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

My problem with Shadow Chronicles is where's the ending? It was touted as answering the question of what happened to Rick Hunter and the SDF-3 but we still don't know.I have no problem with the animation like other people seem to, though it does come off as being a little too slick. The film itself seems to be more of a prologue setting up the storyline for a series which has not eventuated.I agree with other reviewers on the feeling of being ripped off and not getting to see our old favorites from the Macross Saga. I know a few of the characters were killed off in the Sentinels novels. Why not finish off the Sentinels story arc? There's so much they can do with Robotech.

First of all the soundtrack...from Star Wars to Gladiator to Star Trek etc etc, they 'borrow' from many known movies, hence lack of originality. Many -if not most- ignore that the 1980s ROBOTECH was a series engineered from THREE DISTINCT, NON-RELATED Japanese series filmed at different points in the early 80s by TATSUNOKO. Americans created the brand, engineered a storyline and edited some bits to give barely passable coherence to the whole; it isn't hard to understand under close examination that Robotech-Macross, Robotech-Southern Cross and Robotech-Mospeada are distinct and not related: only a few design schemes recur (E.G robot/airplanes ). Still the 1980s Robotech was a very good series (Macross & Mospeada anyways ). This movie is another attempt to engineer a lively sequel, after the aborted tentative ROBOTECH SENTINELS (which by all means was much closer to the original ) and it succeeds to an extent. A series of comics (PRELUDE TO THE SHADOW CHRONICLES) have been published to bridge the gap between the original series and this sequel.This is a barely nice movie: no more, no less: nothing to write a book about. CGI looks experimental and unfinished; women all look alike (like porn cartoon queens ). They take some important liberties with the plot ( E.G Marlene is an Invid, but the Regis' daughter is yet another character ), but it wasn't meant to be in close harmony with it to start with. I am glad I watched it, and will watch any sequels, but I wouldn't watch it a second time.

Wow. What an incredible cliché after cliché... You wait for 20 years and all you get is a complete rehash oh every SCI-FI cliché in the book...Yet again the earth is fighting nasty aliens, with one dimensional forgettable characters...Only this time the awesome(robotech) music score is not here. It is replaced with easily forgettable Star Wars alike score...And on Top of that, we have the so advertized CGI. O dear that is THE worst CGI ever seen on film. I simply cannot find a comparable title.What you will see is one cgi flaw after another, badly animated mecha,( almost not moving), Massive perfectly aligned fleets, moving all at the same speed..., horrible out of sync explosions..The 2d characters were somewhat decent. They could use some more animation, but they look quite good.. Too bad all they have is their looks...Over all a major desapointment. Most certainly not worth the money...

I will keep it short. Honestly this is not even worthy of sitting in a chair for the whole 88 minutes....If there has been any possibility of rating it as a -(minus)10 i would do so without thinking. ]The not "low end" but "amateurish" CGI leaves a sore taste in an artists mouth.... This is a shamefull moment for Robotech. And after this as some people say.... It is on its way to the bottom of the well...When one succeeds to get over the awful "CGI" what one gets is :shalow character work, incoherent story, and "Ripped off" ( they say inspired)... soundtrack( this is a case of Star wars rip). Not a single glimp of originality egsists within this movie. It is a clishe after clishe.......Overall...Do yourself a favor...SKIP THIS......
