Macross 7: The Galaxy is Calling Me (1995)
Basara, on one of his frequent trips across the galaxy to spread the message of his music, folds in on an icy planet. The natives are hostile, and take him prisoner until he begins to sing for them and a little boy named Pedro recognizes his voice. They release Basara, and almost as soon as they don, a strange wailing voice comes from the nearby mountains. Basara and Pedro head out in Basara's valkyrie to investigate the noise. Little do they know, an ambush is waiting for them.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
For those familiar with the series and like it, this will be a treat. It is a thirty minute short film that features improved animation, and takes place towards the end of the series. It has one incredible song, Heat and Soul, which happens to be my favorite song prior Dynamite 7. The story isn't some epic, but it is similar to fleet of the strongest woman or the encore episodes. Overall, a nice 30 minutes spent for fans of the series, those who aren't familiar with Macross 7 will only feel lost though. This is a movie based on the show, there will be no character development worthy of someone new the series, but fans of the show will surely enjoy this 'movie'.
