What I think is fun, is that right in that emergence sequence, the music starts to sound a lot like kaiju music. Like it's a living monster arising from the ground.
I remember watching the cartoon Star-Blazers when I was growing up, and still the biblical power of the Wave Motion Gun astounds me, model rendering on the Yamato, the film makers executed it Perfectly, and the uniform designs borrow themselves very well from the original animation :-)
I remember watching Star Blazers when I was in high school. It was certainly an original departure from traditional sci-fi fare and I enjoyed the series in it's translated version. This scene perfectly transferred Yamato (called Argo in Star Blazers), the captain and crew, even the firing sequence of the terrifying Wave Motion Gun to live action.
it diverted quite a bit, they didnt even test the wave motion gun until jupiter, they change Susumu to a scavanger instead of an active member of the EDF and move the craft from iscandar to earth not mars, the movie also makes Iscandarians and gamilans, unlike the anime where the gamilans are former abducties of them from when they had there own empire. over all its a well done movie but quite different in delivery and plot to the origional series. there is also the fact they made the gamilans a hive mind race too
I so dig this movie having Yamato even pull off a Battlestar Galactica style Adama Manuever. Not merely to launch fighter craft but to full on blast away directly at the planet beneath them.
I absolutely LOVE Battlestar Galactica. The original series was so great, as were Buck Rogers, Manimal, Automan, The A Team, and the Six million Dollar man. I didn't like the remake of Battlestar as well, but the OG is so great.
@@BossLevel16 Well both 'Galactica's' were OF their time FOR their time. In Adama's words "context matters". I'm geared up to see what this next incarnation of BSG will be like.
There was a remake of the 1977 Battlestar Galactica that had no redeeming characters, nobody you really like and want to root for, and it really just sucked.
Harvey Odie Nugroho 1014065 3 months ago Missile totally got what it deserved! I seriously doubt an Imperial Star Destroy or even the Death Star itself could withstand against the powerful deadly force of a Wave Motion Gun! I LOVE THE YAMATO!!! She's a good ship with a good crew.
agree. the requirement of a mechanical element to firing helped ground some of the sci-fy silliness. i love that all versions show the chamber firing. was great to see in live-action finally
I wish I could have seen it on the big screen. I read in a deep dive that the power signature of the WMG can be detected on the other side of the galaxy. That's more than the power of an exploding star.
That's actually a plot point. The destructive power of the wave motion gun is treated as an absolute last resort, to only be used when nothing else will work, because of how dangerous it is. Had they used it recklessly, making the trip to Iskandar would have earned the Yamato's crew nothing, and the Earth would have died. Heck, Super Robot Wars V incorporates this into the game, with only the final stage, when the heroes must reach Earth by any means necessary, allowing players to freely use the wave motion gun. Until then, it's only used in scripted events.
Im usually a fan of dub, but having seen this in a few languages, the Japanese voice cast changes this from a beautiful scene, to one of the best ever. Awesome
Although it was super cool watching the wave motion gun, the shock cannons probably could have downed that missle. I still loved when they used it on a Gamalon warship... the shock cannons tore through it like tissue paper. The crew couldn't believe it.😀
Could probably deflect a single reactor ignition from the Death Star. You're gonna need a dozen along side Andromeda to probably repel a shot at full power.
@@stephenbyrne2170 A dozen so like 12 or so ships. One for each of the 8 outer lasers and about 4 for the big centre laser with at least one Andromeda Class with the duel wave motion gun.
3:18 This guy looks like he's lifted straight from the cartoon. They did such a good job transferring the cartoon into live action. The casting was nearly perfect, and the rendering of the Yamato and the soundtrack was just perfect. Enough to satisfy all the fans. The rest of the movie kinda sucked, but they got this part right.
The Wave motion gun requires significant amounts of the ship to dedicate its systems to. The Cannons are for conventional battles and combat. Along with the torpedos, point defence systems. The wave motion gun is meant to be used as a assault weapon. The ships ftl systems are required to use the Wave motion gun.
Because they are used in ship to ship battle while the wave motion gun recharges. They were not used in this scene but they get plenty of use later on in the movie.
Such a beautifully shot movie let down entirely by one of the worst scripts I've ever seen in film. This could have been so great, but it fell so flat in the WORST way. Just once I'd like to see one of these Leiji-based films understand the arc of character, of story, of how to pace a scene, of how to make the ship as much a character as everyone else involved. There're great actors in this film and they're in a damn powerful scene as its potential goes, but they're just not given the script to really let it soar.
They have to shove a 20 plus episode series down into the the length of a 120min film, of course they’re going to comprise a lot of things. The story and pacing are most affected.
The entire launch sequence was breathtaking, but I think that the most impressive part was Yamato’s 18 inch gun turrets rotating into position.
When the ship is 534 meters long?
What I think is fun, is that right in that emergence sequence, the music starts to sound a lot like kaiju music. Like it's a living monster arising from the ground.
The ship is 334 meters long tho @@WolfeSaber
The team made this understand what the fans are looking for. The ship reveal, the timing for the theme to kick in, the firing sequence. chef kiss.
can we the audience simply enjoy the scene without your 3rd party approval of the scene?
They absolutely nailed it on the music for this movie
I choke up every time.
I remember watching the cartoon Star-Blazers when I was growing up, and still the biblical power of the Wave Motion Gun astounds me, model rendering on the Yamato, the film makers executed it Perfectly, and the uniform designs borrow themselves very well from the original animation :-)
I grew up with the animated show too. Loved it & love this live action so much I own a copy. I watch it whenever I can.
rewatching this and the original anime scene side by side in comparison! both are just freaking awesome.
I remember watching Star Blazers when I was in high school. It was certainly an original departure from traditional sci-fi fare and I enjoyed the series in it's translated version.

Gotta be one of my favourite sci-fi
scenes!
This scene got me to watch the live action version. And got me into the fandom a bit.
I heard that USS Enterprise decided to stay Silent after seeing Space Battleship Yamato
Nah, the all of the NCC-1701's just gave a nod of approval and thumbs up. The Borg are the ones who went quiet.
@@MrRavenBlackwingand heh "collectively" played the brown note.
Let’s get real here. The Enterprise is bigger and more manoeuvrable.
@@jamezxhLet’s be real here. Both are amazing and goddamn sexy.
@@jamezxhYamato solo like 1000 of ships. Not to mentioned she had pretty much more weapons and durability.
I grew up on star blazers.. It was awesome
The single dislike is the gamilas missile lol

@@jamieolberding7731 I postulated the same thing. Even the Eclipse class Star Dreadnought would be shredded by the WMG

Lol
4:02 When the Starship does a fecking Kamehameha :D
The most epic movie of all time. Nothing will ever beat this in my lifetime!
4:13 just a time stamp for personal recollection. :)
This is as satisfying as the mass cannon from Knights of Sidonia.
I love it.
agree. the requirement of a mechanical element to firing helped ground some of the sci-fy silliness. i love that all versions show the chamber firing. was great to see in live-action finally
The engineer looks like a Japanese Mr. Scott, lol.
He actually looks a lot like the engineer in the anime. Whoever did the casting really nailed it.
I wish I could have seen it on the big screen. I read in a deep dive that the power signature of the WMG can be detected on the other side of the galaxy. That's more than the power of an exploding star.
This just makes me happy, I watched the series many times as a kid.
Anyone else notice that Avatar didn't want to fire the Wave Motion gun?
That's actually a plot point.

Absolutely loved starlightzers as a kid
1:25 the music!!!
*Go,yon,san,ni,ichi,hado ho,HASHA!!!*
Now that Yamazaki has seen success with Godzilla: Minus Zero, I think the time is ripe for him to make a proper sequel to this film.
Im usually a fan of dub, but having seen this in a few languages, the Japanese voice cast changes this from a beautiful scene, to one of the best ever. Awesome
Dear little kid early 80s me: you are NOT going to believe this...
Although it was super cool watching the wave motion gun, the shock cannons probably could have downed that missle.
I still loved when they used it on a Gamalon warship... the shock cannons tore through it like tissue paper. The crew couldn't believe it.😀
5:19. The most Japanese reaction ever
Ideais de força e honra elevadas ao estado de arte
Yamato
I still think it sounds better when Capt Okita says Hashim or word to that effect…just sounds better than ‘launch’👍👍
0:59 👍👍👍
When Shima says in the translated words "Launching Yamato", I think you mean "Space Battleship Yamato, Launching".
Target scope open. Chills.
The Japanese sure know how to make that 'apocalyptic beam of destructive energy', don't they?
now why can`t they make a live action movie of macross like this
There was an atempt in the early 2000's on this side of the Pacific, but it never got out of Development
日本映画史の名場面の一つだと思います。
Right now If you check the recent Japan railgun firing on sea, we have real rail gun developed by Japan and firing from naval ship.
I would like to see a movie where the Yamato uses the wave motion gun against a Kilrathi Snakier class capital ship
imagine star trek online adding this
actually theyre not
stfc added the Borg cube which has similar feature.
Tarkin:What was that flash?

Messing with the original sound of the WMG from the original cartoon series is like messing with the sound of Godzilla's victory screams!
This must be strong enough to deflect the Death Star's firepower.
No, we don't exactly call it on the par of the Death Star. This is the weapon you call on if you want to _kill_ the effin Death Star.
Could probably deflect a single reactor ignition from the Death Star. You're gonna need a dozen along side Andromeda to probably repel a shot at full power.
@@la_potat6065 So we need s whole fleet to take the Death Star on in a beam-struggle?
@@stephenbyrne2170 A dozen so like 12 or so ships. One for each of the 8 outer lasers and about 4 for the big centre laser with at least one Andromeda Class with the duel wave motion gun.
@@la_potat6065 Think that much firepower could breach all the way to the reactor core?
GREAT!

5:25 Is the man to the admiral's right the opening singer of the anime series?
5:24 Is the soldier standing to the admiral's right Kazuo Hayashi?

Bruh why are cannons on the ship if your only using that weapon
The Wave motion gun requires significant amounts of the ship to dedicate its systems to.
The Cannons are for conventional battles and combat.

Because they are used in ship to ship battle while the wave motion gun recharges. They were not used in this scene but they get plenty of use later on in the movie.
Every ship has secondary guns. A 5" mount might be appropriate where a 16" is not.
Screw the Death Star. I want space battleship Yamato.

I remember i draw that ship i was 13 year old
❤
How complicate to fire it! So many procedures .... Godzilla has an upper hand there!
It's a shame the rest of the story and the enemy designs were such junk :(. This is pretty much the best part of the entire film
