It's not too bad watching it a 2nd time

At first I did not like it,I was very skeptical,but rewatching it several times after I finally understood. I love the old anime TV series,and this is no different,feels like a really long classic episode of Robotech. The scenes with the Robotech Masters still kinda bugs me,but I actually find this to be better than Megazone 23 Part 1. Sorry I know that's probably anime blasphemy,but here's my reason for thinking so... Robotech:The Movie has way better music,and a much better ending than Megazone 23 Part 1. Even the same studio who made Megazone 23 Pt1 was commissioned to create a different ending for this and its way better and more action packed imo,I found Megazone a little boring in comparison. Robotech:The Movie is also way better than The Sentinels series which I thought sucked really bad. This one is legit and worth getting a copy of.

Storyline

Trivia
The film was only in very limited theatrical release in Texas and was released on home video in a small number of international markets.

Goofs
During the exposition phase in the opening Star Wars style text scroll, the word "Technology" is divided and hyphenated due to the entire word not fitting at the end of the line ("Technol-" on the former line and "ogy" on the next). This is not considered proper form and in the Star Wars scrolls, the words are simply spaced apart appropriately so that each line is uniform in length, avoiding the necessity to divide any words at the margin. In typeset terminology, this is called the "Justified alignment". Also, the word "technology" is more properly divided as "Techo-logy".

Quotes
Mark Landry: Who are these guys anyway?

Crazy credits
The opening credits go up the screen like the old Star Wars opening credits.

Alternate versions
A short 30-minute version was released on DVD in 2011 as 'Robotech: The Untold Story', omitting footage for which the license to Megazone 23 (1985) had expired.
