Love and Hate March 6, 2009

3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I love the Original series and purchased this item to finish my collection. This add on is not very good it lacks the feel and draw in appeal of the original. I'm sure others will like it but the computer slap on art work just didn't mix well for me and it didn't appeal to my artistic side. Would I want it anyway? of course - it completes a great series.
 Great addition to the series May 19, 2010

Anyone that has watched the original series is likely to like this movies as well. The quality is great. I have the complete Robotech series and movies and I love them all.
 A great start February 19, 2010

Robotech the Shadow Chronicles [RtSC] is Harmony Gold's first real attempt to breath life into what had become, at least in the US, a dormant giant.
I personally feel the movie ranks 3.5 out of five, so I rounded up. RtSC is basically the 88min pilot for what will become the next Saga of Robotech, adding a fourth to the previous three of the original show. I consider it to be more of an OAV episode than a stand alone movie, and indeed HG is at the moment working on a new sequel, Robotech Shadow Rising, and a live action adaptation of the original series with Tobey Maguire and Warner Brothers.
My only real complaints stem from the fact that RtSC did not have nearly a big enough budget. Lets face it, bringing back a dormant franchise after nearly 20 years is a risky business. There are a few little things that could have been fixed, mostly minor animation problems or goofs.
On the whole RtSC is a fun start that came closer, I think, than anyone realistically expected to recapturing the elements that made the original so great and enduring. If you are a Robotech or anime fan this one is a must, if you are curious, I would suggest starting with the original series first, then getting this movie when you are done.
