Summary: Tenchi's 'timeless' encounter...
Review: Out of all the three Tenchi films, this is my favorite. Though it seems to borrow it's plot from Back to the Future, the movie is touching, while being frantic at times. There's enough action here to please those who liked the fights in the first two Tenchi series, and there's quite a bit of emotionally charged scenes as well.
The Sci-Fi elements of the movie are abundant too, even though the majority of this film takes place in 1971. The tone of the movie is more serious than the comical hijinks of the Tenchi Universe series, but the familiar cast of characters still retain their trademark personalities. Aeka still acts a bit snobbish, Ryoko still is a sarcastic woman who sometimes needs some anger management classes, Sasami and Ryo-Oki are still as cute as buttons, Kiyone still gets fed up with Mihoshi, Washu's #1-scientist-in-the-world ego is still intact, and Mihoshi STILL is a clumsy ditz. One thing's different though; Nobuyuki strangely wasn't a [deviate] as a teenager. What happened here? >:) The DVD comes with a nice supply of extras, though most of them are just text-based info pages and facts. The main menu is sluggish, because Pioneer decided to make every selectable item animated. But thats just a minor gripe. There are two versions of the movie present here; The english and Japanese versions. The English dub's actors are mostly good, except for a few parts where their lines felt stressed(Like when Sasami exclaims that she's put one of the power generators in place, a little too giddy-like). The japanese version's actors are superb, as usual.
I didn't like the movie's music; Christopher Franke's 'Hollywood' inspired score was a bit cheesy and sounded like bad MIDI in parts. I missed the orchestral feel of the TV series' music.
The animation was a bit better than Tenchi Universe's, so it looked okay.
The only thing that made me feel uncomfortable during the film was the strange similarities to Back to the Future; Washu even mentioned the whole Time Paradox thing if Tenchi ever encountered his mother! I almost expected Washu to send Tenchi and the gang in a time-travelling car! But nonetheless, this movie is a great film to show anyone new to anime,or Tenchi fans, or anime fans in general, or even regular movie watchers.

Summary: Another wonderful addition to the universe of Tenchi
Review: Have you ever wanted to know what Tenchi's mother looked like, and how she died? Have you ever wanted to know how a perverted architect like Nobiyuki ever managed to hook up with a descendant of the royal house of Jurai? Well, here are your answers. The gang goes back in time to save Tenchi's parents from a criminal, and they help save the universe (or at least Earth) once more. The movie was very well done with crisp animation, good voice acting (sub and dub), and a somewhat believable storyline. Remember, this is Tenchi Muyo we are talking about--nothing is ever truly normal.

Summary: The best anime movie ever! Besides Akira and Armitage 2!
Review: First before I say anything else I would like to say that Amazon is wrong when they say their is brief nudity, because there is none, if there is then it was unseen to the naked eye (no pun intended). If this movie was to be rated here is what it would be for: PG-13 for some mild language and cartoon violence! Onto other things. Remastering the film with THX was the best thing Pioneer could have done for the film. I admit the image is a little scratchy, but the scratches are hard to see. The 5.1 audio is perfect in both languages (if I am right, both languages are presented in 5.1). The one complaint is that the movie isn't anamorphic enhanced. Because if it was the image would look much better. But hey, this was made about 4-5 years ago when DVD was just starting. The extras are minimal but it can still be called a SPECIAL EDITION. I mean the Armitage: Dual Matrix SE has only about 2-3 not very special features but it still gets called one. Anyway pick up this movie. it is very funny and easy to understand.

Summary: I love this movie!
Review: This movie is great! The movie has been remastered by THX and has both languages in 5.1 audio. In this movie, you get to see Achika as a teenager(kawaii!)which is the main reason I bought the movie. The extras are some TV spots, product info(Tenchi Universe VHS), lyrics to Achemy of Love, and interviews. The animation, seriyuus/Voice Actors,music, and plot are excellent. This is a great addition to a Tenchi Muyo or Anime fan.

Summary: A Day in the Life of Tenchi
Review: This has to be my most favorite Tenchi movie out of the three available. I bought this one for a friend of mine who isn't typically an anime fan but, through the superb animation accompanied by an outstanding storyline....his interest was held from beginning to end and then some. If you've never watched a tenchi episode or have little knoweledge of the whole tenchi concept, still get this dvd. You shouldn't be confused by tie-ins with other tenchi shows and the story is relatively easy to follow. This dvd gets a high ranking from me for rewatchability. If you're throwing an anime party and want to have good animation going on or, if you just want to watch an all-around good movie....this one is recommended.

Summary: I love the series, I hated the movie.
Review: The series was so much better than the movie. I didn't like the costumes that Tenchi wore. The story was slow moving, I almost fell a sleep. It was awful. They could of done such a wonderful job with it. Too Bad.
Rating: 
Summary: Not Awesome, but very good in its own right
Review: I only reason I really have to deduct 1 star is that they once again threw continuity to the wind. It's not a huge issue (my best guess is that this is most compatible with the Tenchi Universe continuity), just minorly annoying. Other than that, the animation is top notch, and the story fairly well done with enough action and comedy to get any Tenchi lover by.

Summary: Great Tenchi Movie...
Review: This movie is about a criminal named Kain who goes back in time and attmepts to kill Tenchi's mother so Tenchi could never exist! But with the help of his friends, they try to stop it.
I think the animation and character voices where done great. As a fan of the show, I knew I had to see this.
If you like Tenchi, I recommend seeing this movie.
