"The story is that it has been 200 years since rea gall force. when mankind was forced to leave earth in order to excape the wraith of the mechanical army that turn against them. This army was controled by a master mind called GORN. War continued to thrive until the earth was reduced to a barren dead planet. Now the surviving humans have return and are the process of reclaiming the earth from the ravages of war while living in unision with the yumans, a race that was created during the past war. Now a new threat has formed as a group of yumans have desided to destroy all human life in order to prevent, wars like the last one, to ever happen again. Behind the scenes an old and terrible threat is about to arise and finish the work it had failed to complete 200 years ago, to destroy mankind. Catty, the solinoid android who has been keeping a vigalent watch of man from when the race first began, has realized the nature of the threats that are about to happen. So she has gathered together a group of six women to act as the saviors of man by transporting them into the unknown reaches of space before the reawakened GORN, destroys them. That's at least the basic story.



It is kind of cool that they were able to tie together the orginal gall force series with that of rea gall force. You will quickly reconize the characters from gall force the eternal story as it seems these are the rencarated versions of themselves. Then begins the destruction of everything as the mastemind GORN comes awake from a hidden sleep after waiting for man to rely on technology once again. GORN takes over all the systems on earth as well as the colonies and sets about to destroy man. Catty who had been living on earth for millenias has reconized the threat of GORN and as she had done so long ago has moved to find a way to preserve man from this pending destruction. So, she gathers six girls to form a new gallant force and sends them to a base located in orbit around Jupiter. at that point the plot pans clear out and left me watching a the last thrity minutes completely bored. It was unsatifying because you are left in the dark for the entire movie and are left with a lot of unanswered questions after it ends. It lacked the action that is found in the other gall force episodes, and the plot was by far the worst. GORN lives and succeeds in destroying man, leaving the six women as the last vestiages of the race to some how find a way to live. Where do they go? What awaits them at the end of the journey? How will only six women preserve the race, or will they be the start of a new race like before? What are the yumans verses humans?



Over all I believe this to be the worst of the gall force universe and a waste of time to watch. It was a patientic conclusion to the complete series."
