Summary: Ever wondered what went on in the Terminator future?
Review: In this direct sequal to the original GALL FORCE trilogy, the story has fast forwarded to the year 2085. The remains of the Solnoid probe sent thousands of years ago has been found and used to create a new type of cybernetic robot. But the machines have now taken over and nuked most of the human population. Aside from a colony on Mars, most of the people on earth have dies. Only handfuls of survivors fight to stay alive. The two warring factions of humans who originally created the robots unite in a joint effort to send thousands of refugees to the Martian colony. Leading them is Sarah McDougal whose father originally found the alien artifact with the lost technology. They succeed in their mission, but this is merely the prelude for their final fight with the robot army in the next series: GALL FORCE-EARTH CHAPTER. All of the characters from the original GALL FORCE movies are reincarnated witn new names. The animation is pretty good, but the best feature is Keichi(GUNSMITH CATS)Sodana's character designs. Although this was basicly a straight transfer of the RHEA GALL FORCE video on to DVD with no dubbed track or subtitle-free function, this is still a must for the average GALL FORCE fanatic.

Summary: Humanity battles robots in a post-apocalyptic Earth.
Review: Set in post-apocalyptic Australia, the last remnants of humanity on Earth battle the MME, a robot race whose goal is the elimination of all human life. Sandy Neuman and the remaining Earth forces fight a delaying action to allow a massive evacuation to Mars. This Japanese anime is reminiscent of the scenes of the future from the movie "The Terminator." It has some brief cartoon nudity and is pretty violent. All-in-all, a great story well presented.
