2977: For many years a mighty battle has been raging across the galaxies as 500 billion humans, whose forebears were exiled from Earth, plan to return to what is still called home. Forced to flee a ravaged Earth, humans have now depleted the corners of the galaxy to which they fled. Earth has now become the most valued and precious resource of all, controlled by the corrupt Gaia Coalition which governs the human race across the different galaxies. Having been exiled and vilified during the battle of the Homecoming War, Captain Harlock and his trusted crew of the Arcadia battle cruiser are the only hope mankind has of discovering the secrets that the Gaia have kept hidden. The Coalition has demanded Harlock's death and the Gaia Fleet's new leader, Ezra, calls on his younger brother, Logan, to infiltrate the Arcadia and then assassinate Harlock, thus forever eradicating the one man standing between the Coalition and their complete control of the Universe. Logan must make a very personal. Quotes: Tell me this: why do we sail?

Aug 28, 2013 - Captain Harlock, star of the upcoming CG movie Space Pirate Captain Harlock, has taken a firm anti-piracy stance in Japan, appearing on.

[ Yattaran asks four men including Yama for the password to become a member of the Arcadia - only one of them is needed] Man 1: Sail? Why, there's times you sail for honour!: No! [ Yattaran does a throat-slitting gesture before the man is dropped off the Arcadia and down the mountain] Man 2: F-For riches?: No! [ Yattaran does the same gesture as the second man is also dropped] Man 3: [ the third man backs up too far as Yattaran approaches him and falls off on his own]: For freedom!

This film started well and ended so complicated and, uff, how to say, empty. I just watched in these days the whole Evangelion and I have now this impression that Japanese people make things too complicated. At the end, this is no more an action movie, it is not a thriller, not a psychological movie, not a drama, it is just nothing.

Like another reviewer said, there is this dark matter everywhere in this movie, all is dark matter, it is boring, one ship (and one man) can win against thousand powerful enemies just because of this dark matter. No plot, no fun. Then this 'let's close the circle' mania of Japanese films, a bit like 'luke I am your father', where all must be connected and find a meaning from itself, somehow onanistic cinematography.

Just make things simple man! Good animations and good chances, but at the end, a mess.
