I had fond memories of Macross (the American TV version), so I thought I'd take a look at Macross II. As my title suggests, the story and writing is ridiculously childish. The characters are cardboard cutouts. The censorship storyline is incredibly simpleminded. The action, as I should have known from watching the Robotech TV series, is just a confusion of missiles and smashing metal.Perhaps younger sci-fi fans would enjoy this movie. If you're older you might want to check out something else.
