Description:
Enzo Matrix, who has grown up to be a sullen, muscular hero, continues to search for Bob, his Defender friend and hero. He's accompanied by Andraia, now a curvaceous babe in a revealing costume. They take up with Capitain Capacitator, a.k.a. Crimson Binome, a pirate of the "aargh, matey" school; his motley crew; and "web surfer" Ray Tracer, whom Matrix regards as a potential rival. As they journey through cyber-dimensions, Andraia receives a life-threatening bite from a "web creature," then Capacitator's ship, the Saucy Mare, is attacked by a host of strange-looking "Web Riders," whose leader turns out to be Bob. After reviving Andraia, Bob heads the ship back to continue the war against the evil Megabyte. The animation lacks any sense of weight--a problem with motion-capture computer graphics: despite all the elaborate visual patterns, tracking shots, and reflections, the characters move like marionettes. There are also numerous story problems: e.g. when the Saucy Mare is attacked by "pixels," the Web Riders and Tracer defeat them with some sort of light beams that are never explained. The first computer-animated network series, Reboot has its fans (thanks in part to the show's exposure on the Cartoon Network), who are the obvious audience for this disc. Contains these episodes: 9. "The Return of the Crimson Binome," 10. "Edge of Beyond," 11. "Web Riders on the Storm/Interface," 12. "Mousetrap." Rated "suitable for all ages," but violence and grotesque imagery are inappropriate for children under 8. --Charles Solomon
