IMDb profile

Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles is the 2006 animated sequel to the 1985 Robotech television series. It was released on DVD on February 6, 2007.

At Anime Expo 2004, Harmony Gold USA revealed that Robotech: Shadow Force was in production to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Robotech in 2005. The name of the new story arc was soon changed to Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles, and the film was completed on January 27, 2006.[1] This project was initially met with skepticism from the fan community, due to Harmony Gold's spotty track record of completing Robotech sequels and spinoffs in past decades. The first teaser trailer debuted at Anime Expo 2005. An official trailerwas later released on The Shadow Chronicles website during the NATPE conference, a broadcast industry trade show. Harmony Gold held a number of film festival showings in 2006, but FUNimation delayed the theatrical and Region 1 DVD release until January 5 and February 6, 2007, respectively.

[edit] Story and development

The storyline is a direct continuation from the 85th (and final) episode of the original Robotech television series, and the first third of the movie runs concurrently with the events at the end of the TV series — albeit from different points of view. The plot revolves around the Robotech Expeditionary Force's final battle with the Invid on Earth, and the fallout from the events of that battle. An old enemy of the Invid is making its presence known, and is determined to wipe out all Protoculture users, including humanity. The production is a mixture of 2D animation and cel-shaded CG mecha animation.

Though the involvement of original Japanese studio Tatsunoko Productions appeared to be limited to early development, the actual digital production of animation was handled by the Korean animation company DR Movie, whose credits include subcontracting on the inbetweens, ink and paint of Macross Plus, and the inbetweens of Yukikaze. Co-director Tommy Yune said in a Newtype USA interview (republished on the official Robotech website) that the producers "consulted extensively" with Kenji Terada, a writer on Southern Cross and Mospeada (two of the three series adapted into the 1985 Robotech series).

DC Comics’ Wildstorm label released Robotech: Prelude to the Shadow Chronicles, a comic prequel series bridging the end of the aborted Sentinels storyline with The Shadow Chronicles. Each of the issues features a "behind-the-scenes" article about the new animation production.

[edit] Plot

 The plot summary in this article or section is too long or detailed compared to the rest of the article.
Please edit the article to focus on discussing the work rather than merely reiterating the plot.

The Robotech Expeditionary Force (REF) fleet gathers for its final attempt to drive the alien Invid from the Earth. Two previous attempts have been made, but failed. This time, the REF has important technological advantages in the new Shadow technology and Synchro-cannons. But if even those aren't enough, then the REF has prepared the devastating Neutron-S missiles as a last resort to wipe out the primary Invid hive at Reflex Point.

General Reinhardt, acting commander of the REF forces, sends Vince Grant, captain of the Icarus, on a rescue mission to look for the SDF-3 and Admiral Rick Hunter, chief military commander of all REF forces. In its last transmission to the REF, it seems that the SDF-3 was involved in an accident of some kind. But too much time passes, and Reinhardt is forced to begin the attack on Earth before Vince can return with Admiral Hunter, who was to lead this last attempt to recover Earth from the Invid. Casualties are excessively heavy on the ground at Reflex Point. When Reinhardt tries to get an update, he makes contact with resistance leader Scott Bernard, a survivor of one of the previous failed REF assaults. Scott informs Reinhardt that the attack is going poorly. Ending the communication, Scott meets with Ariel, an Invid that looks like a young human woman, and Scott's love interest. Ariel hopes to convince the Invid Regess that the humans and the Invid can live in peace.

The Icarus battles a number of alien ships.
The Icarus battles a number of alien ships.

Vince finds Admiral Hunter's ship, the SDF-3, near a brand-new black hole. Both the SDF-3 and the science vessel, Deukalion, have been badly damaged by an accident involving the testing of the new Neutron-S missiles. Admiral Hunter orders Vince to warn the REF fleet that there's a problem with the missiles. An unfamiliar alien warship attacks and rams the SDF-3, and the Icarus is forced to race back to Earth with the wrecked science vessel. The SDF-3 is left behind, adrift in space.

Ariel meets with the Regess, but the Regess is skeptical of Ariel's claims. She recognizes the Humans' new Shadow technology as something used by an ancient enemy of the Invid — the "Children of the Shadow." When the Regess sees the Neutron-S missiles, she realizes that the REF has been fooled - if the REF had known how powerful the missiles were, they never would have used them. Realizing that the Earth is no longer a safe haven for the Invid, the Regess transforms the Invid race into pure energy, and leaves. As a parting gift to Ariel, who has chosen to remain behind, the Regess destroys the Neutron-S missiles.

Following the battle, wounded personnel and damaged ships are evacuated to Space Station Liberty. Because the Invid took all of the Protoculture with them, the REF only has enough power to last a little less than a year. And the only way to generate more power is with the Protoculture Matrix onboard the SDF-3. Due to losses in combat, Wolf Squadron, home of Marcus Rush and Alex Romero, is folded into Maia Sterling's Skull Squadron. Marcus is attracted to Maia, but has only managed to bungle a pass at her so far.

Back on Earth, Scott is surprised to find that Ariel has stayed behind. But Scott can't stay. He has decided to try and convince the REF leadership that humanity can co-exist with the Invid. As he flies to the main REF base at Moon Base ALUCE (Advanced LUnar Chemical Engineering), he stumbles upon the just-arrived Icarus, and the enemy fighters that it accidentally brought with it. He helps the Icarus against the fighters, and then escorts it to ALUCE. Once there, he is reunited with Marcus, who is the younger brother of Scott's late fiancée, Marlene.

The science vessel is examined, and the only surviving crew member is Janice Em, an android that uses a holographic overlay that makes her look like a young woman. Louie Nichols, a scientist and veteran of the Second Robotech War, takes Janice to the science lab, and the two go over the test data to try and figure out what went wrong with the missile test. While there, Louie learns from Janice that the new REF technologies — Shadow technology, Synchro-cannons, and the Neutron-S missiles — were partly the result of aid from an advanced alien race known as the Haydonites. The Haydonites aided the REF because they'd also suffered greatly at the hands of the Invid. Janice herself is a combination of Human and Haydonite technology, built to act as a go-between for the two races. Louie finds himself somewhat distracted by Janice, and decides to take a break. He goes to the Officers' Club with Janice and Maia.

Scott, Alex, and Marcus are already there, and Scott is silently disturbed by Marcus's hatred for the Invid. Ariel suddenly walks up behind Scott, and surprises him. He introduces her as a friend from Earth before hurrying off with her. Questions about his abrupt departure are put on hold, as Janice gets on stage and demonstrates her ability as a singer with the Minmei song, "It's You." The three men watch in fascination, until a visibly-annoyed Maia informs Marcus that Janice isn't his type.

In an empty room, Ariel informs Scott that the reason she came to see him was because she had a vision. The Children of the Shadow are planning on attacking the REF. The Children destroyed the first Invid homeworld because they fear the power of Protoculture, and they will attack the Humans for the same reason. The discussion is interrupted by Marcus and Alex, and Marcus realizes that Ariel is an Invid. Scott is arrested and interrogated. During the interrogation, he warns of the impending attack, and reveals the Children's connection to the new REF technologies. Reinhardt and Vince watch on a monitor in another room. But the name Scott uses for the alien race is unfamiliar. And Reinhardt suspects that the warning is an attempt by the Invid to drive a wedge between the REF and the Haydonites.

But during the interrogation, contact is lost with Space Station Liberty. Louie analyzes the transmission data, and realizes that the race that attacked the SDF-3 is jamming communications. Vince is ordered to head to Liberty and determine the situation there. Vince takes Scott and Ariel with him. Also attached to the Icarus are Janice and Skull Squadron.

When the Icarus arrives, Liberty is under attack by a large fleet of alien ships. The battle is going poorly for the REF. Ships are being destroyed with just one hit, and the enemy is using an energy wave that causes the new Synchro-cannons to overload and explode. Instead of charging into the battle, Vince sends Skull Squadron to collect information. While flying through the REF fleet, Skull Squadron records an REF carrier destroyed due to a single hit on its reflex furnace. Janice sees the footage, and realizes that such an event should be impossible, due to the Shadow technology incorporated in all REF vessels. The Haydonites are the mysterious Children of the Shadow, and are exploiting hidden weaknesses in the technologies they provided to the REF.

Skull Squadron is ordered to head to Liberty, and change to fighters that don't incorporate Haydonite technology. Unfortunately, on the way there, they are attacked by Haydonite fighters. The Synchro-cannon mounted on Alex's fighter is hit and begins to overload, and he makes a suicidal charge into the middle of the enemy fighters, as his cannon explodes. Louie finds one ship on Liberty's ship-list that has no Haydonite technologies installed — the colony ship Ark Angel. Vince orders the evacuation of all station personnel to the Ark Angel, and gives Louie one hour to get the ship's inactive reflex furnace online. In the meantime, Skull Squadron has located brand-new prototype Advanced Shadow Fighters that haven't had the Shadow technology installed yet, and Maia promises to buy time for the evacuation.

Scott and Vince board Cyclones, and prepare to head into the space station. Liberty has the remaining stockpile of Neutron-S missiles, and Vince sets one to self-destruct. The Ark Angel is able to depart as planned, with the Icarus following closely, and Skull Squadron fights to hold off the Haydonites. The Neutron-S warhead explodes, and destroys Liberty, along with the Haydonite fleet.

Back on ALUCE, Reinhardt gives Vince his new orders. Vince and his crew, including the new additions on the last mission, are to take the Ark Angel and attempt to locate the SDF-3. Also joining the crew will be Vince's wife, medical doctor Jean Grant. As the Ark Angel leaves, Scott and Ariel share a first kiss, Marcus and Maia console each other over missed loved ones, and Louie reassures a confused and uncertain Janice that, "We will win."

[edit] Release status

[edit] Region 1

[edit] Theatrical

Kevin McKeever, operations coordinator at Robotech.com/Harmony Gold, confirmed at the New York Comic-Con in February 2006 that the movie had been completed,[2] but that earlier discussions with a potential distributor had failed, due to contractual terms that Harmony Gold considered unfavorable.[3] McKeever posted an FAQ regarding these issues on Robotech.com's forums.[4] The finished film was screened theatrically for the cast and crew on March 8, 2006.

Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles was shown for the first time in its entirety outside of Harmony Gold at the Cannes Film Market on May 22, 2006 in the Grey One Theatre to an audience of distribution representatives. According to Robotech.com, the audience reportedly cheered at the end of the screening.[5] A number of independent film festivals screened the film during the summer and fall.[1][6] It was awarded Best Animated Sci-Fi Feature at the International Horror and Sci-Fi Film Festival, although it was the first and only animated film ever shown in this Arizonan festival's three-year history.[7]

On December 21, Kevin McKeever announced the first round of theatrical viewings of Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles in January 2007.[8]

[edit] DVD

On July 22, 2006 at the Comic-Con International, FUNimation Entertainment announced that they had licensed the home video, broadcast and theatrical rights of Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles from Harmony Gold. Harmony Gold and FUNimation issued a joint press release with a November 21, 2006 DVD release date, but delayed the release until February 6, 2007.[9] Some retailers, disregarding street dates for anime DVDs, had begun selling it to consumers as early as the end of January 2007.[10][11]

The Region 1 DVD has the following features:

  • Animated menus.
  • Anamorphic widescreen transfer.
  • English 5.1 and 2.0 Dolby surround; closed-caption subtitles.
  • 45-minute featurette: Robotech: Birth of a Sequel.
  • Trailers for Shadow Chronicles and other Funimation titles.

A 2-disc collector's edition with additional features was announced by FUNimation at Anime Expo 2007 and released on November 20, 2007.[12]

[edit] Other regions

Madman Entertainment in Australia was the first international distributor to license and release Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles. The acquisition of the title was confirmed at a panel at the 2006 Supanova Pop Culture Expo in Sydney. Though a March 14, 2007 release date was later announced, some retailers sold stock as early as the 7th.[13]

The Region 4 DVD has the following features:

  • Animated menus.
  • Anamorphic widescreen transfer.
  • English 5.1 soundtrack.
  • The Robotech: Birth of a Sequel featurette.
  • Still Gallery.
  • Trailers other Madman titles.

Revelation Films released the film in the United Kingdom on July 23, 2007.

STAR TV began broadcasting the film via satellite to Asia on satellite in February 2008.

[edit] Cast

According to IMDb, a number of the original voice actors reprised their roles for characters such as Scott Bernard, Rick Hunter, Vince Grant, Sparks, and the Invid Regess alongside well-known actors such as Mark Hamill (Star Wars) and Chase Masterson (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine). Still, certain other returning original voice actors voiced different characters.

  • Richard Epcar - Vince Grant (originally voiced Ben Dixon and Lunk from Robotech. Reprising his role from Robotech II: The Sentinels)
  • Eddie Frierson - Louie Nichols (originally voiced Lynn Kyle in Robotech)
  • Mark Hamill - Commander Taylor
  • Alexandra Kenworthy - The Regess (Reprising her role from Robotech and Robotech II: The Sentinels)
  • Yuri Lowenthal - Marcus Rush
  • Melanie MacQueen - Marlene Rush (Originally voiced Lisa Hayes from Robotech, also reprising her role from Robotech)
  • Chase Masterson - Janice
  • Edie Mirman - Maia Sterling (originally voiced Mirya and Nova Satori from Robotech)
  • Iona Morris - Jean Grant (originally voiced Claudia Grant from Robotech and is reprising her role from Robotech II: The Sentinels)
  • Tony Oliver - Admiral Rick Hunter (Reprising his role from Robotech and Robotech II: The Sentinels)
  • Arthur Santiago - Alex Romero
  • Greg Snegoff - Scott Bernard (Reprising his role from Robotech)
  • Michael Sorich - Sparks (Reprising his role from Robotech)
  • Kari Wahlgren - Ariel (character previously voiced by Melanie MacQueen in Robotech)
  • Dan Woren - General Reinhardt (originally voiced Roy Fokker from Robotech)

[edit] Music

The musical score was composed by Scott Glasgow, and was recorded with the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra. However, budgetary issues resulted in synthesized elements being mixed into a number of the cues, particularly four of the tracks in the film, and one of the tracks on the soundtrack CD ("Dogfight").[14] [15] Chase Masterson sang the parts for her robotic character Janice. Melissa Kaplan, the lead singer of the band Universal Hall Pass, vocalized some of the background music.[16]

[edit] Continuity

[edit] Continuity with the Original Series

There are a number of fan service references that link Shadow Chronicles to the 1985 series, such as:

  • Rick Hunter appears in the film, at a more advanced age.
  • Louie Nichols from the Robotech Masters storyline is now chief engineer of the Icarus. He served under Dana Sterling during the Second Robotech War..
  • Several characters hum, whistle, or occasionally sing Lynn Minmei songs during the movie.
  • Most of the recurring characters from the 1985 series are voiced by their original voice actors.
  • Two minor characters from the final episode of the 1985 series, Sparks, and the originally unnamed SDF-4 Izumo commander, have expanded roles in this movie. The commander is named General Reinhardt for the first time onscreen. He was first mentioned in the novels.
  • Space Station Liberty makes its first onscreen appearance, since being referenced to in the Robotech Masters saga.
  • Scott rides the same Cyclone he rode in the 1985 series.
  • Much of the dialogue from the first third of the movie is very similar to its appearance in the final episode of the 1985 series.
  • Maia Sterling is the other daughter of Max and Mirya Sterling. Dana Sterling had a brief psychic vision of Maia (who was then unnamed) in the final episode of the "Robotech Masters" segment of the 1985 series.
  • Dr. Emil Lang is briefly mentioned, but not seen except in a deleted scene, and the comic series Robotech: Prelude to the Shadow Chronicles.
  • Variations of the main theme from the 1985 series appear prominently in the soundtrack, albeit in significantly different arrangements.
  • The Haydonites are a race featured in the novelizations of the never-completed Robotech II: The Sentinels story and the decanonized novel The End of the Circle.

[edit] Apparent Contradictions with the Original Series

There are some apparent contradictions on the movie, which can be easily explained.

  • In "Dark Finale" and "Symphony of Light," all six members of Scott's team of freedom fighters, as well as three humanoid Invid, were involved. In this theatrical version, the events shown exclude Rand, Rook, Lancer, Lunk, Annie, Corg, and Sera. Although the events in the movie happen chronologically along with the events in "Symphony of Light," the focus is on Scott and Marlene, who were separated from the rest of the group during the scenes animated in the movie.
  • In the movie, Scott refers to Marlene by her Invid name, Ariel, rather than her human form's name, Marlene. This is explained briefly when they meet before she enters the hive. He first calls her Ariel in front of Marlene's brother who would recognize that she was not the real Marlene Rush.
  • The 1985 series implied that the Invid destroyed a portion of the Robotech liberation fleet during their hasty exodus with a scene of destroyed ships. In the movie, no Human ship is seen destroyed. However, ships might have been destroyed off-screen.
  • Marlene joins Lunk and Annie after the battle of Reflex Point — these characters are not shown in the movie. However, her reunion with Lunk and Annie is implied by a camera shot from the movie where Lunk's truck is shown near Ariel before her vision of the attack on Space Station Liberty.
  • In the movie, a few vessels attacking the Invid during the Reflex Point battle in space were equipped with synchro-cannons, something that was not shown in the original series. These ships were in the third attack group, which was not in the main battle until later. The battle scenes on the 1985 series were more focused on the front-line ships, which used conventional weaponry.
  • In the animated Sentinels footage, Janice was created by Dr. Lang before the SDF-3 and the REF left Earth. In Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles, Janice II is the second body of that original Janice, created with Robotech and Haydonite technology. According to the Prelude to the Shadow Chronicles comic series, her original body from the The Sentinels is destroyed, and replaced with the Haydonite/Terran-hybrid robot.
  • When the Icarus is first attacked by Haydonite battleships in the Omicron Sector, no one can identify the ship as being Haydonite. Haydonites were a part of the Sentinels, but Prelude to the Shadow Chronicles (comics) makes it clear that many members of the REF don't even know about them at the Haydonites' request.
  • The "General Reinhardt" briefly mentioned during the Southern Cross saga now seems to be the "Commander Reinhardt" named in the Sentinels animation. The Sentinels Commander Reinhardt was a bald, older gentleman with a chinstrap beard. While the original script refers to this Sentinels Reinhardt as "Commander Adams," in the Art of the Shadow Chronicles book, it has been decided to keep the Sentinels Reinhardt as "Adam Reinhardt" — the father of The Shadow Chronicles' General Reinhardt. While a first name is not given for the junior General Reinhardt in the Shadow Chronicles, it is often assumed to be "Gunther" as that name was used previously used for the Reinhardt character.
  • There are claims that the Beta is ignored as a standalone mecha. Examples: The portable Synchro-cannon is attached to the Beta, and when it doesn't work Alex doesn't try to ditch his Beta. Additionally, when Marcus is hit after rescuing Maia, he does not abandon the Beta to continue with only his Alpha. However, these claims ignore the fact that much of the thrust from the Alpha-Beta combination comes from the Beta fighter, and it's unlikely that the Alpha would have had sufficient thrust to outrun the explosion of Alex's Synchro-Cannon, or that Marcus's Alpha alone would have been able to evade the high-speed Haydonite fighters.
  • In the series, the Protoculture Matrix was destroyed and buried along with the rest of the SDF-1 — in the movie, there is now one aboard the SDF-3. But in the Prelude to the Shadow Chronicles comics, it was hinted at that a new matrix had been created on Tirol to fuel the REF mission back to Earth.
  • Another contradiction is that the Haydonites destroyed Optera the Invid homeworld. In the novels Optera was defoliated by the Robotech Masters, although in the show the Regis explained that they were forced to flee twice, possibly implying that both the Haydonites and the Robotech Masters had an equal part in their near-destructions.

[edit] Contradictions with the Original Series

  • Scott Bernard is flying an Alpha-Beta fighter combo in the Shadow Chronicles movie; his Alpha was shot down during an earlier event in the 1985 series. At the very end of the Battle of Reflex Point in the 1985 series, he was in a Beta fighter cockpit. In the supposedly same moment and every other fighter scene in the Shadow Chronicles movie, he is in a different, contradictory Alpha fighter cockpit.
  • In the movie it states that Scott Bernard is well aware of a squad of Shadow fighters comming to assist with the invasion of Reflex Point. Although, in the 1985 series, it clearly shows Scott Bernard attacking several Shadow fighters as he, Lancer, Sera and Ariel escape the Invid Hive.
  • According to the Collector's Edition DVD of Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles, the staffers deliberately revamped the design of the Neutron-S missiles from its original streamlined version to a more "chiseled" look to appear more "menacing."
  • When Vince Grant and Scott Bernard enter the secure areas of Space Station Liberty, Vince is subject to a retinal scan which displays his identification. The age given on the display indicates that he is in his mid thirties. All previous Sentinels' material indicated that Vince was approximately the same age as Rick Hunter. The Art of Shadow Chronicles corrects this by placing Vince in his fifties.
  • The Collector's Edition DVD also referred to the returning fleet's flagship as the SDF-4 Liberator, when the original television series referred to the flagship as the SDF-4 Izumo.

[edit] Sequel Information

  • On February 27th, 2007 at the New York Comic Con, Shadow Chronicles director Tommy Yune said, "Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles has been doing good business at retail, and we are currently in production on the sequel."[17]
  • Later that same day, Yune mentioned that the sequel will be a feature movie.[18]
  • The title of the sequel has been revealed as Robotech: Shadow Rising, and the film is expected to be released in two years' time from now, at the earliest.[19][20]
  • There is no word as yet as to how the recently-announced Live Action Robotech Film by another studio will affect the movie rights and production of subsequent animated Robotech films.
