Comments on: Gough Millar Team to write Robotech http://themovieblog.com/2008/11/gough-millar-team-to-write-robotech The Official Home of Correct Movie Opinions Sun, 22 Nov 2009 02:09:15 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Derek http://themovieblog.com/2008/11/gough-millar-team-to-write-robotech#comment-173064 Derek Sun, 23 Nov 2008 23:25:38 +0000 http://www.themovieblog.com/?p=15664#comment-173064 All they need to do is base their script off the novels. The novels are so in-depth to how Robotech is more than just sci-fi, but something that is based on WW2 battles and real history. If they just follow the novels the movie would be outstanding. I'm sorry, but Gundam would make a terrible anime to spin a Hollywood movie from. Its got Japan and anime written all over it, but Robotech is so... american... so military, and I think thats what will really make it a good movie. Just stick to the military accuracy, true Robotech history and characters, and follow the chronology reasonably. I think the movie should start off in the South Pacific with Gloval's submarine and Admiral Hayes's aircraft carrier the Kenosha about to blow each other out of the water, with Roy doing some serious dogfighting, just before the battle fortress breaks into earth's atmosphere. That would make an intense beginning and in just a few minutes explain how the world was in a global war and how the characters got wound up in the plot. Rick at this time would be sitting on his dad's lap, learning how to fly a stunt plane, and Minmay would be just a little girl dreaming of becoming a singer, and by the time the SDF-1 is reconstructed she will have become a member of a band or something. Personally, I think Minmay should be an amateur singer and backup dancer who works on Jan Morris' tv show or something, and eventually beats Morris at the pageant, thus replaces her boss in stardom. I think that would be an interesting addition to her character. She would start out as a materialistic girl who takes things for granted, until she sees how war has taken away all the truly precious things in people's lives, like friends and family. Then in the end she gives Lynn Kyle and good kick in the nads for being so opportunistic. All they need to do is base their script off the novels.

You almost get a glimpse of what it would look like by watching Transformer (Strarscream transforming in mid air around the jets and attacking them). I hope they do good on the story, but I wonder...how they will dumb down the whole Macross Saga? And Broly they did make a live action Gundam movie. It was more like a B movie but who knows, they is hope just yet. Visually I think Robotech will look great.

I used to build the ships out of Lego! Starvengers was the hardest to build a ship for since they transformed the most. My favourite of the series was Spaceketeers... Jesse Dart rocked!

It could be better then Transformers if it has a better story and as for Dragonball (not Dragonball Z) i lost my expectations cause FOX is keeping this movie so secret despite the leak photos and footages, i’m waiting on the official trailer that’s coming in Dec 12th.
