Last night I saw HAYABUSA: The Long Return Home (TOEI Company, LTD.) It was really well-done film, I thought. Ken Watanabe was very good as Professor Yamaguchi. The English subtitles were specially commissioned by the JAXA representatives for this showing. From following along on unmannedspaceflight.com, I had a pretty good idea of what was going to happen and, as far as I could tell, the movie was quite accurate. There was even a shout out to the "official energy drink." The reception had wine, plentiful sushi, and barely edible Japanese space food, and they gave out cardboard models of the HTV filled with cookies. It was a very enjoyable event. They will be showing HAYABUSA (20th Century Fox Japan) on Monday, October 29.

I wish to see it some day, the heroic work to return Huyabasa and complete the mission successfully were a true marvel.

@Michael Capobianco: So they go that energy drink in also, not to surprising, that drink became a bit of a running joke for a brief time.

TheAnt: Yes. LIPOVITAN-D was certainly part of the Hayabusa experience here on unmannedspaceflight.com. The reference in the movie went by so fast that I almost missed it, though.

For those in the DC area: the October 29 showing of the 20th Century Fox HAYABUSA has been postponed to Nov. 2 because of Hurricane Sandy.
