AniWorthMacross Plus Movie Edition
Introduction
Several decades after the First Space War, humans and Zentradi have established peace, spreading human culture across the galaxy. Young pilot Isamu Alva Dyson is excited to work on United Nations Spacy's next-generation fighter, which is being developed on his home planet, Eden. Moreover, he contends with his old classmate and romantic rival Guld Goa Bowman, who is participating in the development project as well.
While Isamu and Guld continue to clash, the extremely popular AI idol Sharon Apple is hosting a concert and is managed by none other than the pair's mutual old flame, Myung Fang Long. As old emotions get dredged up, they jeopardize what all three of them have worked to create.

I think of Macross Plus as a bit of a mess with pristine work that turned people like Shinichiro Watanabe and Yoko Kanno into major names paired with a story that makes an atrocious choice that firebombs the entire work. I have a spoiler review of the OVA if you want me taking a bat to that particular hornet's nest.
The movie, while paring down some of the more impressive mood sequences, also heavily cuts the tender scenes that are pretty gross in hindsight. Also, if you're like me, reducing the scenes showing Isamu as a reckless, loose cannon is a plus; even if they're technically impressive, they bog down the first two parts of the OVA when the idea is grasped fairly early on.
It's the best presentation of a flawed work. It still has the ending that is an explosion of rushed and conf…

TL;DR
If you’re looking for a sequel to Macross with a similar story this is not it, but if you’re wanting to watch everything Macross, then this is enjoyable enough.
If you are choosing between this and the OVA: the OVA has better pacing, but the movie isn’t much different, while being less of a time sink.
Story [6]
This is a movie recap of Macross Plus: while its story is the same, it’s told in a more streamlined way, but by telling the same story in almost half the time has made the pacing almost too fast.
Even though Macross Plus is a sequel to the original Macross, its story is completely different: Macross Plus is much more similar to Top Gun than to the original Macross. The only major theme shared between the two shows is the presence of a love triangle, and the presence of a p…

Let's talk about 3 things: Dreams, friendships, and adult regrets.
Most people have a dream of what they want to become in life. Usually it's a career, and then what kind of life they wish to lead with which kind of people. These people develop friendships to help give their current live meaning, and to potentially help each other achieve their dreams and lead a happy life with the people they care about. Unfortunately, life does not always match up with a dream, and friends will not always last. For one reason or another, people will do something damaging or face a terrible circumstance, both of which can lead to resentment, and even regret. Suddenly, life isn't so pleasant, and you want nothing to do with some of the people you previously held so dear.
Macross Plus showcases a fantas…

No crappy Minmay system is here , just an upgrade system called Sharon! wich sings in French, English and Japanese . MP; movie a simple complilation of the 4 ova´s put together, with some scene´s put out from the serie´s, but new scenes put in, and overall the ova´s were better, it still somewhat works out well. not too special
The animation is just the same, mature more lifelike charac. unlike other macros serie´s , and some scene´s reveals more about the isamu, guld and myung chara. childhood wich i liked, but it was just slitsecond scenes too bad. For me its all about the last 50 min. of the film thats shows the full potential of the 3-d uncut scene´s and when Sharon flys through the city is just soo well done for its time, together with some nice jetfight scene's between isamu and guld…
