: Meanwhile, we meet our three heroes:
: Miyoshi (recently returned from assignment
: in America), Muroi (who stayed in Japan) and
: Fuyuki (who we never learn much about). All
: three work for the Japanese Branch of the
: U.N. Space Federation, along with pretty
: Jun, who was Miyoshi’s girlfriend but is now
: engaged to Muroi.
:
See what happens when you go to America. Somebody stole his gal.
:
:Oh, and later on we meet token
: American Jimmy, who’s also an average hero
: type.
:
We've never had any hero named "Jimmy". That name is reserved for sidekicks and such.
:
: Anyway, reports of heavy electronic
: interference, heavy UFO activity over
: America and heavy comet debris around the
: Earth are capped off by the apparent loss of
: the U.N. space station at the hands of the
: galleon-ship.

This sounds little like a subplot of "Project A-ko". But later it sounds like it has elements of "The Macross Saga". I guess those borrowed from past movies, too.
:
: “Atragon” at least tried to
: show how the buy guys thought, and compared
: it to how the good guys thought.
:
By "buy guys" I assume you meant bad guys (from the context). Thank you Ken. Now I won't feel so bad when I screw up, leaving the "n't" off of my intended negative contractions. Firefox3 wouldn't let me misspell a word, now. But I knows nothing about grammar or context. BTW, just for a second, I thought "buy guys" was lingo for corporate financial agents, or buyers. And I was thinking, "Were they trying to buy off the aliens?!"

: All in all, I didn’t enjoy “The War in
: Space” as much as the original version.
: “Atragon” may not have been a big-time
: action flick, but it was much better written
: and made. By comparison, “The War in Space”
: just doesn’t measure up. Hey, I have my
: standards.
:
I prefer even better written and acted, over all the special effects they can afford. A low budget guilty favorite of mine is "Trancers". Just for that reason. It was very clever. And its predecessor "Zone Troopers" was pretty good too. But the Trancer sequels never matched the original's style. "Dollman" came pretty close. I guess whatever films Blue Moon did, it was their firsts that were any good. Revisits, revisions, remakes, and sequels, rarely are as good or better than the originals. Even if they have bigger budgets.
