Introduction
AD 1999, the Earth was in a critical situation; a planet Lar Metal was approaching to the Earth. Meanwhile, Yukino Yayoi was heard about Lar Metal from Dr. Amamori of Tokyo Observatory. She was a junior high school teacher, but she also worked for Dr. Amamori who appreciated her astronomical knowledge. Actually Yukino Yayoi was Queen Millennia who had come from Lar Metal 1000 years before, and she had been watching human beings since then.

Queen Millennia was created initially as a stand-alone manga before becoming a part of the dense "Leijiverse". The setting for the series is 1999 but in the manga and TV series it is very contemporary of 1982. For this movie it was updated to a more futuristic setting in order to be more consistent with Galaxy Express 999 and Space Pirate Captain Harlock. Interestingly, like the Galaxy Express 999 movie, this was released before the TV series had concluded meaning any fans watching this would have had the ending spoiled.
The story is loosely based on the legend of Princess Kaguya (Hajime even mentions this at one point after Yayoi tells him her history) and the original Japanese title is "The New Tale of The Bamboo Cutter - Millennium Queen" further supporting this.

This was a really good movie to watch. I was very impressed with the film and the story was really good as well as the characters and sound. This is truly a good film from Leiji Matsumoto and I'm glad I was able to watch this film, as it is very hard to find around here nowadays. This film is worth watching if your a fan of Leiji Matsumoto's works and if you like movies dealing with space and travel as well as battleships, this is the film for you. A true gem and worth watching. You won't be disappointed. You'll even feel sorry for Hajime and Yamato. 5/5!
