A couple of minutes in, the irritating and unfeasibly cute male lead tries to attack the venerable white-bearded ship's captain, only to be (literally) decked by a random unfeasibly cute yellow-clad woman. No-one will be surprised to hear that these two cuties will pretty soon be romantically involved - nor by anything else about this cliché-ridden nonsense.
A reviewer compared this with the latest Startrek films but it's more obviously related to Battlestar Galactica with humankind threatened by powerful aliens and everything depending on a single battle star/ship. In this film the eponymous craft may be absurdly based on a WW2 battleship, but it's crewed by the same stock collection of hotshot pilots, sober officers, yawn, yawn. In fact the original anime series of SBY inspired BSG in the first place and the main problem here, I suspect, is that any quirkiness or originality which might have existed in that 26-episode series has been lost in condensing the story to a 2-hr movie.
Leaving what? I'm not entirely sure but the first hour of dull cliché, ordinary script and acting and lack of any kind of interest was enough and I couldn't see a reason to watch on. Fairly sure there is none.
