The peaceful planet of Jillucia has been nearly wiped out by the Gavanas, whose leader takes orders from his mother rather than the Emperor.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a classic space opera, relying on the contrast between an epic galactic threat and the personal struggles of unlikely heroes. It explores familiar archetypes—from the wise king to the young chosen ones—to build a multi-layered conflict.

Those who tire of overly serious sci-fi will find a vibrant adventure where fates collide across the stars. What lingers after the credits is the charm of an earnest, sprawling saga. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Kinji Fukasaku
