I am a llama whore, I presumably was from B4, but I just realized now.
I also watched the movie Space Battleship Yamato, starring Takuya Kimura. I liked the movie a lot, despite many negative viewpoints from various sources, because it was science fiction, simple & fun, with brilliant actors and a hot actress & for a Japanese movie the visual effects were quite good. What more can an art lover ask for in a movie? I strongly urge you to watch the movie when it is released in your country. It's like a Japanese Startrekish Armageddon with clues from Star Wars... a bit cheesy at parts but enjoyable.
