Run-don't walk-and check out the reviews. Looks like this is the release:

Amazon.com: Space Battleshtip Yamato - The final battle (All Region, English Subtitles, Uncut): Takuya Kimura: Movies TV

Aside from the bombastic overacting...I still wanna see this movie really bad.

But I no longer buy DVDs...so I'll wait for it on Netflix or Redbox for rent...

Madman officially released the film on region 4 dvd and on blu(region B) in Australia this
past December.

It would then be just a matter of time for a US release

The ones you mentioned seem like they might be pressed boots made from the region 4 source or possibly the Hong Kong release (though if official would more than likely be region 3 and not region free)

However as long as the picture looks fine and the subs are ok, then that is what matters

This movie has been on the top of my to watch list since it was first released.
Definitely need to get hold of this.

It's not a bad movie. I saw the complete movie on Youtube before they took it down.

Hmmmm....

I'm kinda curious. I love the original, and what I saw of the live action film looked pretty good.... although the Cosmo-Tiger-Gerwalk kinda threw me.

Just watched it. I picked up the $12.99 version from Amazon. It had problems on 2 DVD players, but ran fine on my computer. Good movie: decent story, acting & effects; true to the cartoon / source material. It's obviously not fine cinema, which is OK. It captured the essence of the cartoon, and that's what I'd been hoping for most.

As a big time fan of Starblazers and the actual yamato Films I am extremely pleased. There was minimal "modernization" of the characters, Dr Sane is a female now but unlike BSG or star trek it still looks the way you expect. Stunnig shots and a great use of the CGI on a very small budget.

Yuki is way tougher than she was in classic YAmato but well in line with females in ANIME since the 80's and the woman cast is stunning.

I like the changes to the Iscandar Gasmillas dynamic too.

and it played in my infamously touchy player which is a plus
