I don't care what anyone says, I love this new star. Notice I didn't call it a movie because a movie this is not. This a new start. Ariel, Maia, Marcus, Scott, Janice, Louie, Vince, Jean, everyone was awesome.
I have been a fan of Robotech for so long. I even remember walking around my middle school with a petition for more new episodes and for the entire release of the series on video.
My sisters and I used to get up at 4am in the morning to watch this on reruns. We loved this show.
When a sequel was announced, I was the first to be skeptical. I didn't want to the same thing that happened to the sentinels to happen with this series. (Sentinel's was canceled after 4 episodes were produced.) But I don't care really if this series never gets picked up, this little movie was just so satisfying. I love that it wasn't entirely clear of a lot of the plot points. It leaves it open for more.

A lot of stuff we don't see in this movie: 1) Lisa Hayes 2) Minmei 3) Max, Miriya and Dana 4) Annie, Rand, Lunk, Lancer and Sera 5) Bowie Grant But we do see a lot of other things that are just as interesting: 1) Ariel (I have always loved this character and the direction they take her in was magnificent) 2) Scott Bernard (voiced by the original voice actor) 3) Jean and Vince Grant (Vince also voiced by the original actor) 4) Louie and Janice (now there's a couple I should have foreseen) 5) Maia Sterling (Dana's younger sister, Max and Miriya's other daughter) What makes a Robotech story for me personally are the themes of prejudice, race, and love of all kinds and I am so glad that these themes are dealt with in here. Back are the various love triangles: I was loving how Maia was getting jealous of the robotic Janice who seems to be getting the attention of all the boys on deck. I love Scott and Ariel's relationship and am anxious to see how it grows from here.
All in all, I think it's a perfect little film to watch and if you're a non-fan, it's still a pretty good watch as well. It's proof that every good end is also an awesome beginning.
