Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles Preview

Hawkeye

Robotech technology has advanced the fallible race tremendously, giving them spaceflight, aesculapian advances, and advanced weapons. However, IT has also brought intergalactic state of war with a race call the Invid. After nearly a generation of fighting, the humans finally gain the whip hand and set up to ruin the Invid, but before they sack launch their final attack, the Invid deser Earth. But was it the humans they were afraid of, or did they sense the arrival of something sinister lurking in the depths of space? A rookie pilot, an old captain, an android, and an Invid princess are the only ones that stand a chance of unraveling the truth before it's too late.

imageThe plot was excellent, a true classical Robotech story including deceit, action and camaraderie. I really liked how the new characters were multidimensional, and how the characters from the bypast series kept their underlying personalities but had also grownup over time.

The sound was really oddly balanced. Voices were simply coming in happening my starboard speaker. I'm hoping that this was because I obtained a preview transcript as an alternative of a retail release. Odds are the sound on the retail version will atomic number 4 a proper stereo system format. Ancient fans of the series will be ecstatic to know that the original voice actors for the characters Scott Bernard, Rick Hunter, Vincent Sparks, and the Invid Regis have returned to do their character voices at one time more in this movie. They besides got the talent of Mark Hamill (Superstar Wars) and Chase Masterson (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine) for cardinal of the characters. The music was a spectacular score combining both classic elements of good old fashioned quad music with a new updated sense.

imageThe animation as pretty good, but I have to say that I was a bit disappointed by the CG. With the engineering science to do or s spectacular 3D imaging and the fan radix that Robotech has gained over the years, I was really hoping they'd die all out on this one. It just wasn't a really good fuse of 2D and 3D living, though it wasn't horrible, it was bu mediocre. The character designs were fresh American Samoa always, and they even updated the look of some of the pre-existing characters to create them look older. Frankly, I found the fact that the old hero of the past series, Twist Hunter, had battle scars and looked rugged and worn to be very amusing.

This story takes place after the survive episode of the original Robotech series, and wasn't made to curl up new fans to the show. Shadow Chronicles references past serial publication, has stale characters mixed in with the spick-and-span, and doesn't do a slew of explaining about the current wars. They assume you know all this already and scarce toss the fans another report in their dear setting. This one is for the diehards, the fanatics, and the kids who grew up observance this englut.
