Two years after the end of the original Soukyuu no Fafner TV series, Tatsumiya Island and its surviving residents have returned to some semblance of recovery. However, things have become desperate for our hero, Kazuki; nearly blind now, and partially crippled from his battles with the Festum two years earlier, he clings to the promise his fallen friend Soushi made to him to return to the island and set things right again. Kazuki's hopes flare when a lifeform is detected within an unmanned submarine that comes floating into Tatsumiya Bay one night, but the person aboard isn't Soushi; it is a mysterious "boy" named Misao Kurusu who may not be entirely human, and who claims to have been sent by Soushi. With Misao's arrival, hostilities break out anew between the Human Army and the Festum, and the Fafner pilots are thrown into the most desperate battle of their lives--this time, with the fate of TWO races riding on their shoulders.

This movie felt nearly as pointless as Right or Left in providing relevance to the Fafner franchise. Outside of providing reasoning for why the island implements its atmospheric system, Heaven and Earth doesn't really add much new to Fafner beyond new pilots whom you learn little about, the return of the Fafner pilots who survived from the TV anime and a certain major character thought dead reuniting with Kazuki and the island residents which would have worked better in the show's finale. The only major kudos I can give the movie is its improved visual presentation over the TV anime with better polished visuals, beautiful scenic shots of Tatsumiya Island and nicely animated battle scenes between Fafner units and Festum armies. Otherwise unless you're a big Fafner fan or a completest seeking to complete anything within an anime franchise, you can skip this movie without missing out on much.
