Space Battleship Yamato (2010)

A live action film based on the long-running animated series. In 2199 a Japanese Captain Birdseye sets off with the titular ship on a perilous journey of hope to save humanity from extinction, etc.
The camera has the freedom of the bridge, enabling all parts of the command process to be explored in dramatic sweeps.
The action is good most of the time, but the quieter moments, when characters are candid or forced to reveal their weaknesses for the betterment of the mission, are by far the best aspect.
