Story takes place in Tibet, where we follow the young boy Tenzin who is going to live with his dad in a shepherd village. The sound was pretty decent, nothing to special in my opinion.

Now onto the story, overall it was a pretty realistic story, we got a bond between a dog and Tenzin. Halfway through the movie the realism slowly fades away as the big evil appears, without having any purpose for being evil. The setup for certain things were great, such as showing the strained relation between Tenzin and his dad, but we never delved much into these as they are either ... left open or never told at all. There are also some nice moments where we see some bonding between dogs but also between the dog and Tenzin.

We got a wide variarity of characters. While this may sound good, it is in my opinion not fully fleshed out. At the start of the movie we clearly see Tenzin and his dad acting like complete strangers where big evil suddenly appears we never delve much further into this. The bond of our main dog and Tenzin felt a bit short despite them having grown a great relation where they would risk their lives for each other. We also got some bandits who were just temporary evil.

The animation for this movie was really impressive, nice scenery fitting the naritive, the characters are all unique despite their being so many. This definitely holds up to modern standards.

If you love movies about dogs, then this is definitely a movie for you. I you want a realistic movie without any fantasy creatures, then I must warn you that there will be one in this movie. Overall I must say this was a good movie, it had it's wholesome moments.

Let me get this out immediately: This movie is the worst movie of this series. Let me elaborate on this point. In my honest opinion, this movie would be bottom ranked out of the six Urusei Yatsura movies.This may be the worst movie out of this franchise but on its own its a somewhat decent movie.

The movie had some high levels of nonsense similiar to the tv show and it had also some very humorous scenes.
Those things seem like a good thing but in case of the nonsense stuff it is actually for the worse as there is almost no explaination behind all the ... weird stuff going on.

Lets start with the premise of the story, problems arise in the town while Ataru and the crew are filming some movie. The start of this movie seemed good, everything you would expect from the series. But then the story takes a drastic turn which in my opinion is for the worse.

This movie is clearly trying to be thought provoking and is not becoming a comedy movie but rather a philosophical movie in which the director tries to pass on a message to the viewers.
While you may think the second movie, Beautiful Dreamer, was also more of a philosophical movie rather than a comedy, then I would agree and disagree with you. The difference between those are clear from the way the movie tries to portray its message. Beautiful Dreamer actually provided enough information to the viewer to actually understand what was going on while Lum Forever keeps the viewer in the dark for the whole duration of this movie.

At the end of the movie I was confused as what the plot actually was. Why they didn't come up with some background story, no matter how ridiculous it could have been, which would act as the reason for all the weird stuff happening. From a certain scene in the movie you may come up with the reason for the left out plot, it is all McGuffins. In other words the plot is pointless, everyone who knows this franchise would already understand the movie that seeing the somewhat the same pointless storylines over and over again has no meaning. That was probably what the director was thinking, which is supported by the idea of the director to convey the message to the viewer.
This message being "Life's too precious to be wasted" meaning that the fans should not be fixated on this franchise and that they should move out, get some exposure to real life and simply get a life as the director stated in a interview. However this failed misserably as not everyone got the message. Which kind of makes sense considering the time this movie was aired and the kind of genre this franchise was known for. This movie simply didn't fit this franchise.

The animation was pretty good, as expected from a movie of this franchise. Some nice imagery was portrayed such as the moment they were filming to some of the dream scenes. The sound was also good, with the typical "Space is super weird" song playing at the end. Each one of the main cast had their nice moments to shine. I enjoyed this movie in a decent way but I expected something with a much better plot considering this movie was aired around the end of the series. Even though this movie suffered majorly from the way it tried to portray its message, it still has its own charm if you know the context this movie was made with its good intention behind the message to not be obsessed by something fictinional.

Urusei Yatsura Movie 3: Remember My love is a decently excecuted movie. The story takes place around 1985 and this time it centers mostly on our lovely alien girl Lum instead of our womanizer Ataru.

As far as the story goes, it was okay. The plot felt a bit boring in the first half since nothing major happened, but things started to become interesting in the second half. A thing this movie missed out on where the amount of jokes they could have done. If you are familiar with the series, you would a expect lot of jokes, however at certain situations in this movie instead ... of making a lighthearted joke, you would see a somewhat dramatic moment. Also there were some moments that were rather anticlimatic such as the defeat of the antagonist or how Ataru's problem was resolved instead of maade full use of in the movie to advance the plot. But the movie doesn't only have downsides, there were some rather well good parts such as the concept of losing a good friend was rather well executed.

The art as far as it goes, is probably the strongest point of this movie. This movie has some great visuals such as the chasing scene and the scenes at the festival. As for the sound, there were more english songs than I would have expected but I must say they somewhat fitted the movie.
Quite a lot of characters made their appearances at the first half of the movie and almost each had their own moment to shine, which I found rather good. Lum got the spotlight, where we also get some scenes to see of Lum as baby and child which were adorable.

I did enjoy this movie even though the first half made the movie seem like a stretched out episode, but the second half made that up by revealing some plottwists that were unexpected and some interesting moments. The visuals also helped a lot as the great visuals were pleasing to see.

Even though this movie isn't as good storywise as the first two Urusei Yatsura movies ("Only you" and "Beautiful Dreamer"), It was pretty decent. However this movie has in my opinion almost no memorable scenes which will make this easily forgettable compared to some of the other movies.
Considering it was the movie after the second movie which most people view as one of the best movies, this one still holds its own spot as a decent movie in my opinion and is not overshadowed by any means.
