| Just watched it and well I must say that I am a bit dissapointed. I do not know anything about Harlock aside from this movie so I may be missing some key information. The movie was grand in the visual aspect. The ship battles were sleek and cool and the detail of the imagery was very fine. Being a 3D CGI film some of the characters looked a bit wonky. Particularly I did not like how Kei looked at all. Facial expressions were a bit weird at times, when a character was sad their face looked rather blank and awkward but it may be hard to depict emotions with this style of animation. Soundtrack was great, adding to the experience with some very powerful conpositions, but not memorable. Voice acting wise there wasn't any really good snippets from the characters. A decent performance by all, nothing worth praising. Characters were alright. We gain a bit of background into the main ones but some characters I don't understand why they were included at all. Nami's history and inclusion felt very lackluster and out of place. I'm a fan of romances and love-dovey shit but in this movie it felt out of place and unneeded. Captain Harlock is a badass, nuff said. Do I regret watching this? Not at all. Is this a movie that I'll look back and think about rewatching? Most likely not. It's a one time movie that delivers exciting and cool sci-fi space battels with lasers and giant lasers that brings out the nerd in all of us. A continuation of the story may be interesting and that would be something that I will welcome with open arms. |

| I think toei manage to make the story look better/enjoyable to watch. and tbh, i didn't expect that. from overall thoughts, i think it's one of my fav 3D type of anime other than Aoki Hagane. obvious there is a difference. not in story, but in the atmosphere of the show. Aoki Hagane more look like an anime, well it's an anime lol. but this one, captain harlock, when i watched it, it felt like i was watching a hollywood movies which pretty unique coming from toei. i really like it alot. but obvious, there are some parts that i feel like mehhh in the story/character. for the most part, the story, i think it was pretty well done or more like okay. i like Harlock's character and past the most. but for the simblings one...it was mehh to me. it wasn't generic but...it felt like just meh...to me. but regardless, i enjoyed this series alot. in addition the soundtrack sounds great and the 3D animation looks so detail and didn't looks so awkward like for example; Ajin. the animation, they managed to make it looked as cool as possible and looks realistic as possibile which i really like about the animation. although the conclusion didn't satisfy me that much... 9/10 from me. which toei will make this kind of series again in movie type. i really enjoy it a lot. thanks for the show...i guess xD |

| That was pretty awesome that we got a (mostly)badass modern cgi Captain Harlock movie! Not quite the best plot around the middle with all the flip flopping but it was still fun to watch. Also that cgi was stunning with all of the space effects. Gonna have to rewatch it again if only just to oogle those parts a bit more. I think with maybe another half hour of run time they could have serious filled out the majority of the gaps with a bit of character exposition. It wouldn't have hurt fluffing out the supporting characters a bit either. One thing is for sure I'm glad with how it ended with the story of the ship Arcadia and Captain Harlock not dying... Looking at you Space Battleship Yamato movie. |
| I had a lot of reservations at first (i really hate how a lot of animations make use of CGI, so many just look like utter shit visually) but this was amazing well made. While the plot wasn't the best thing around, I just couldn't help but get so into the characters and Harlock himself...amazingly well done battles as well. It took a lot out of me to watch the original Gundam, but...I think I found the motivation to once again watch another 70s anime. If this was just a re-visioning, I look forward to being introduced for the first time to one of Leiji's famous works. |

| I was still kind of hoping that the Arcadia would have the original ramming knife. Oh well. |
| Gorgeous visuals, detailed backgrounds and meh story is all I could say about this show. The flip-flop betrayal of Yama was cringey to watch, as was petty love triangle that always shape the antagonists as motive.... The instant Miyuki Sawashiro's chara was introduced, I thought "here we go again" as would be another love-struck development. But still the Elf-alien was not as hot as creepy. Also wasn't in the end Gaia fleet surrounded pirate ship, but they flew away as cooly camera pans away......wtf |
| Great animation, bad story. |
| So Yama is the new captain Harlock, or what? I'm wondering if the real Harlock is dead? That was a confusing ending for real. I was surprised by Ezra's aid of the Arcadia in reaching earth, but why did they leave it if it was livable? A lot of things didn't make sense at the end. I also believe other characters weren't given enough screen time like Kei, her relevance was shunned out. But we can't take away the great animation it had, the CGIs were out of this world and realistic and most of all I enjoyed it. 8/10. |

| just watcehd it today.... dl'd and was watching on tv. my dad thought they re real ppl. white ppl. live action. |
| I liked the movie quite a lot tbh, the cgi was good. After seeing all the bad reviews I'd thought the movie would be awful...well, I LIKED IT! The character development was lacking, no doubt about that. But I think it was well enough for a movie like this one. Personal rating : 9/10 Throughout the movie I kept wondering about how much Ezra looks like Maes Hughes from Fullmetal alchemist  |
 |
| This was a rather confusing entry in the Harlock universe. I've seen pretty much everything else Harlock-related that exists, and I saved this movie for last. I didn't expect a masterpiece, but it left many questions, and it never really "ended," as they never really achieved anything. The CGI wasn't bad, but I prefer Harlock in 2D. It was mildly entertaining, but if you want quality Harlock, go watch the 1978 or 1982 series. |
