Well, it is stated several times as a reboot, and I'm of two minds on that. My favorite version is the original, as I feel it had far more heart and hope than Moor's ship full of a-holes. It was also a far simpler story, rather than the confusing mess that didn't know where it was going half way through.
To be fair - the original was going nowhere after the first few excellent episodes. The last few episodes, where the Cylons found them again were good too, the batch just before that were abominations.

The "FX" for the cartoons keep getting better and better. It really is a shame they have to pull punches since it is a "kids" show - this holds up a lot better then the sequel trilogy.

I haven't been keeping up with Yamato news. Is 2205 getting a North American release?
No. If it were the Our Star Blazers site would report it right away.

A decade or so ago, there was a pilot on a Discovery show that said something along the lines of: modern air combat is firing missiles at beyond visual range and then bravely retreating.
Before that it was generally shooting down some poor slob that did not see you and then bravely running away. Dogfighting is what happens when things go wrong. (Which granted, happens a bunch but most aces throughout history were good at choosing a target and getting an early advantage - if they could not they hit the road to come back another day)

Now they need to get rid of park reservations...
For most people they are already gone. Only passholders have to deal with it anymore and I think even for them it will be gone by the end of the year, either by "good to go days" being nearly all the time or just outright going away - but Disney seems intent on making things more complicated then necessary. As for why by the end of the year? That little construction project a competitor is finishing up in 2025 - when Disney doesn't have anything new in the pipeline (only new stuff they have had the past few years was due to being WAY behind schedule on Tron and Guardians, all they have in the pipeline now is reskinning existing attractions).

Just happened to be at the parks on the day all-day park hopping was restarted. No problem at all going from Hollywood Studios to Epcot at noon.

I think it makes it looks more like one of those foreground magnified photos. Looks good.

I would love a legitimate way to pay for and watch 2205 online in English.
perhaps with 3199 being as long as it is they will license it and 2205 sometime.

The DVD I bought had subtitles.
Oops - I should say streaming. I gave up the physical media years ago.

Looks like more info (a lot more) translated by the Our Star Blazers site.

I wish 2205 had subtitles...

Closest I had to anything like no movie at all was having the projector (or something) go out when watching Colors. We were given passes to come back and see the remaining 15 minutes or so (well, and the rest of the movie again). I never have gotten round to watching the rest...
-
If you can prove they did not show the last 20 minutes you can send your case to the BBB (or something like that). Not showing the entire movie is theft (or the equivalent, they did NOT provide what you paid for). Proving it will be the hard part of course now that you have left the theater without demanding then and there that they refund.
As for torrenting - AMC won't care one bit if you do that, the only ones hurt by that will be whatever company you would otherwise have streamed it from and the makers of the movie.
-
Not only were the strikes causing scheduling problems Disney's debt is causing problems. They are trying to find a sweet spot between too much content losing money due to the viewership not supporting it and not enough content causing viewers to drop the service. Most likely this will get made eventually.

The monster speaker truck is exhibit A. If that is not insanely stupid nothing is.

Am I the only one that thought the last movie dialed it up to 11, not realizing that made it a parody?

Finally watched it last night. The big bad was hardly that big or bad (really a missed opportunity there considering the hype for the character). I really like the new Doc already and the twist that goes along with him. I'm also looking forward to possible spinoffs from this.

I've read the original trilogy of Foundation books. They didn't really grab me, but they weren't bad.
You might like some of the later books since they focus more on action instead of it all being "off screen" as it were.

Dunno....Lucasfilm these days seems hellbent on pretending people like everything they do
Not according to Iger's recent comments. Plus Mutt is gone due to the backlash that film received (no official word on that I ever heard but if that movie had done better or Mutt had been better received I firmly believe we would have seen more of him) and that film did better then this one.

Yep...absolute trash and yet another hero torn down and replaced by characters no one cares about...what can you do...at least we still have the original trilogy...
I don't think you have to worry about ANY characters in this film ever again.

They just need to bring over the Haunted Mansion Holiday and I can cross off Disneyland, CA from my to-do list....
That and the holiday overlay for It's a Small World. Small World is actually enjoyable with the decorations. I feel that DL does a much better job of decorating for the holidays then DW has done.

They still aren’t accurate
the word "accurate" being in quotes means that they are still not accurate. But an example of the difference is the Alamo with John Wayne vs the one from a decade or so ago. In The Duke's time accuracy be darned! We want our heroes to be heroes! (and not have the Alamo taken since they fell asleep and didn't have a proper watch posted). Since I think both films were not big money makers that may not be the best example.
-
The last special was just over a year ago. There are also a couple more specials on the way between now and December 9.
-
Historical films needing to be "accurate" was a relatively recent thing. At least through the fifties and a good bit beyond (not going to get lost in the swamp of deciding when/if things changed) a film about a historic event or character being historically accurate was pure happenstance.

I remember it stopped being a must watch for me somewhere along the line after the first few episodes and I am not sure that I have seen them all to this day. Yes the initial FX were great but after that there were very few new FX shots, mostly recycled shots over, and over, and over, and over, and over...
