big F Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Well at least it looks like it could fly.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB0 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I don't see how it looks like a VF-19. Tail fins are canted inward, wings are swept back, the slots that look like air intakes are tiny, and the list goes on... The cockpit opens the same way, but... But EVERY Hollywood fighter comes from Macross Plus!Except the one in Top Gun, of course. That was a blatant VF-1 ripoff if ever I saw one.

Kanedas Bike Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Dunno, for some reason the fighter gave me a Yukikaze FFR-31 vibe more so than a YF/VF-19. Either way, it "looks" cool, I guess... -b. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way I like this fighter, will be fun to see it in action on the big screen! Not going to lie, when I was much younger ID4 was a guilty pleasure. I cannot watch it now but in keeping with my youth I'll give this new one a go - unless the trailers look like absolute trash. -b. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Hunter D Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 As dubious of quality this movie may be, I'm a sucker for large scale models of cool looking ships. That fighter looks slick, so I'll watch this to see it in action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, saw it 3 times in Theaters and watched the DVD to death, my guiltiest pleasure on this movie is the deleted scene with Randy Quaid in his Biplane with a bomb attached!! I can only with Roland Emmerich as the director the film will have decent dialogue yet plenty of adventure!

areaseven Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) It's too bad David Arnold didn't return to do the soundtrack. His score for the first film was one of his best works. Edited June 23, 2016 by areaseven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight26 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Interesting fighter design, though those things under the wings are just, odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raptormesh Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Interesting fighter design, though those things under the wings are just, odd. Yeah what are those? Nu/neo/new powerplants/antigrav? Noticed the same thing on the tug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anime52k8 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Yeah what are those? Nu/neo/new powerplants/antigrav? Noticed the same thing on the tug. some sort of propulsion system based on alien technology. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 The fighter looks damn sweet! My only grip is the positioning of the antigrav pods. Why are they hanging down like that..? I would have put them horizontal and imbedded into the wing. Or even remove the wing entirely. You have antigrav! Why do you need a wing!?! I'll have to see it in action. Definitely if they make a model of this, I'll be doing some reworks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frothymug Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 What if the anti gravity system fails? You also need hard points for munitions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spanner Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I can't say I was terribly impressed by the first movie so I reckon this is gonna be crap.. but I'll probably still watch it! mid 2016.. sheesh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eight_car Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Using recovered alien technology, the nations of Earth have collaborated on an immense defense program to protect the planet. But nothing can prepare us for the aliens' advanced and unprecedented force. Only the ingenuity of a few brave men and women can bring our world back from the brink of extinction. - Written by 20th Century Fox Using recovered alien tech to build up new defenses... where have we heard that one before? An unprecidented force - WOW, lets just keep on that train Only a few brave men and women ...like Hikaru, Misa,Roy... Damn, maybe they will have a lead base ship and call it the SDF-1 I hate hollywood at times...I REALLY REALLY do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
