Anderson O @Platinum2027 01/23/2025 Solid action sequences, not as great performances. But the motivation of freedom and what the Space Pirates fight for, brought me back a few times for Harlock Space Pirate.

De plus le film est relativement lent See more Andrea F @AndreaFrancolini 01/08/2022 A real disgrace, Japanese writers forgot how to build a decent story several years ago and their animation is to the point of death. This is an insult to all what Original harlock really was. Not this sad piece of rubbish for sure. See more 04/24/2020 An absolutely brilliant movie,very surprised and very pleased we found it. See more 02/04/2020 A personal favourite between me and my brother, one of the edgier CGI films i've seen, with an almost grim dark setting with anime inspired locations. If nothing else, come for the visuals and stay for the fights, because as far as these types of films go this is certainly amongst the most visually stunning, action packed and morally riveting. Provided you don't look too hard at the pot-hole story, I would certainly recommend for the battle and music alone.

I write fan fiction for the character, originally conceptualized by Leiji Matsumoto as a Freeman/Freedom Fighter/Pirate Knight who fought for "freedom, and things he valued in his heart." This film takes the honor bound, noble, and stoic fighter for freedom and plunks him into a story line that he doesn't fit. At all. His canon character's main reasons for fighting is to protect Earth, and her people. In his story we usually see his effect on other people as hope, and of overcoming impossible odds. In this movie, lets just say that this Harlock has... issues. And his honor, love of the Earth and her people are totally dumped. Instead of fighting tyranny and aliens who mean to harm Earth and her people, he now mourns a terrible consequence to a stupid action on his part. The movie realized Harlock physically as I've always imagined him, and the other characters are brought to life beautifully. The music soars. The world he lives in is brought to life in a beautiful way. The Arcadia is badass. Harlock is badass. Lots of cool space battles. But... How do you kill an anime classic anti hero? By making his character completely different from canon, performing actions his original would have died to prevent. I so wanted to love this movie. See more Read all reviews
