The movie is set in a world where mankind has been at war with the mysterious lifeforms known as Image for over half a century. Renton joined the battleship Gekko-go as a member 8 years ago to search for the kidnapped Eureka. Now, in the battlefield, he will meet her again.
Dominic is supposed to be a teacher to Renton and Eureka when they lived in Warsaw 8 years ago. One day after telling them about the legend surrounding the Snow Moon Flowers, he vanishes. Eureka is described as a young girl whose body reacts strangely to direct sunlight. She's captured by the military and kept as their most guarded secret. To get her back, he entered the military. 8 years later, Renton will enter the battlefield with his favorite mech Nirvash.
The article goes on to specify that the story is brand new, and while the names and circumstances might be the same, the worldview and scenario is completely original. The cast listing in the article lists Renton, Eureka, Holland, Talho, Dominic and Anemone. So those are definitely in the movie, at least.

It's actually a really common thing to do, kinda like how the manga was different from the anime.

I'd be way more interested in knowing what happens after the anime ... I mean ... the whole picture of Eureka and Renton's children on the cover of the 12th/final DVD now means nothing, you know? I want to know about the future human!Coralian race.
Bummer.
I'll still watch it, and probably enjoy it, but still.
