This movie is an alternative version of the TV series; it is composed of the two 2007 OVAs, edited to improve the pacing of the plot, and an extra segment akin to a TV episode where the cast are given the task of studying flowers. 
The plot has several differences to the TV series, most important being Sirius's death at the beginning, Apollo's different childhood and the more marked focus on the events of 12000 years ago, particularly Apollonius' death and Reika's previous incarnation's involvement.

A special released with the Blu-ray edition of the movie containing alternate events after the end of the TV series.

A new, original episode which will be previewed at Project Aquarion's 10th Anniversary event June 28, 2015.

11 years ago, a disaster occurred on Earth. This awakened The Wings of the Fallen Angel Clan, which preys for humans and reduced the population of the world to a mere 2 billion inhabitants. They&rsquo;re not hurt by human weaponry. The only things that are able to combat The Wings of the Fallen Angel Clan are the man-shaped soldiers - Aquarion. And now, Kamishiro, a young man with mysterious "Elemental Powers" stood up to oppose The Wings of the Fallen Angel Clan. Do lives of billions of people on Earth rest in the hands of one person?


In a distant future, humanity is once again facing the threat of the "Shadow Angels," mystical creatures who have returned after 12,000 years of absence. They attack human cities and kidnap their inhabitants in order to drain their "prana" (vital energy). To fight against them, youngsters with special powers from arround the world were gathered and trained to pilot the "vector machines," three ancient ships that together form mankind's ultimate weapon, "Aquarion." The story revolves mainly around Apollo, a teenager rumored to be the reincarnation of Apolonius, a fallen angel who fought against his own kind to protect mankind.
