Space Battleship Yamato: Resurrection, known in Japan as Rebirth Yamato (宇宙戦艦ヤマト 復活篇, Uchū Senkan Yamato: Fukkatsu Hen) is a 2009 Japanese animated science fiction action film, and the first part of a planned series of films which were to be the latest addition to the Uchuu Senkan Yamato saga.
Resurrection is set in the year 2220, 21 years after the first Yamato story and 17 years after the story of the last animated film, Final Yamato. A wandering black hole is approaching the Solar System, and will surely destroy all life on Earth. The decision has been made to evacuate Earth's entire population. Thus a brand new younger crew and a new Yamato are commissioned to help with the evacuation.
While planned as the first of a series of films, no others would be forthcoming. After the success of the live action film a year after the release of Resurrection, production began on a new reboot series, based on the original 1974 series instead of further sequel films.
