Gekijouban Makurosu F: Itsuwari no utahime

Macross Frontier: The False Songstress (2009), was an out-of-control mess. The only positives I could find in this film was the usual stuff found in anime, which was the beautiful animation, vibrant background paintings and rich colors. It's the animation that saves this film from an unrecommendable tag from me. The animation is quite good. The rest of the film was awful. I never understood the allure, of the main subplot to the Macross mythos, which is crossing over a galactic war with Britney Spears-type of characters. The mix always confused me, bur it may be a lack of experience, with Macross, that is the problem for me. My experience with anime came in the 1970s/80s, with Space Battleship Yamato, Gatchaman, Mobile Suit Gundam, Akira and the works of Hayao Miyazaki. I have seen Robotech, but that's the English version. I'm going to do more research on the original Japanese Macross, watch some of the older stories and maybe revisit Macross Frontier: The False Songstress (2009), again someday, to see if my feelings on it have changed, but wow, for now, this was bad and actually induced a slight headache.

PMTM Grade: 4.0 (F+) = 4 IMDB.
