Summary: Probably the best toy movie ever.
Review: That's right, while other toy franchises have come and gone(and the sooner Pokemon goes the better IMHO)Transformers has kept its loyal band of followers through the years. What differentiates it from the usual cash-in movie, is the amount of effort which has gone in to make this simply a good movie. The writers and producers ovbiously had a love for the subject, as the quality of the script is superb. It ranges all the emotions... Featuring the deaths of major characters and the erosion of hope in the good guys, the storyline is quite mature for basically a kiddy movie. The continuity is sometimes lax (where does Blaster go to after the battle of Autobot city?) and the animation quality is varied, but the voice acting is superb (Leonard Nimoy and Orson Welles both feature), which along with the script, fleshes out the characters and gives a good heart to the film. The essential good versus bad cartoon. Buy this (and Iron Giant ;)... and you won't be disappointed.

Summary: After StarWars - The Best Film EVER!
Review: What can I say. Quite possibly the most underated movie of all time. How many people have laughed when I told them this is one of my favorite movies. Untill they watch it! Its like one long rock music video. Throw away all they slow parts from a movie, actually include the kicking 80's soundtrack IN the film (not just on the end credits), and your left with this. Non stop action, laughter, sadness. Open your mind, don't read to much into it and just ENJOY!

Summary: The DVD is here to light our darkest hour !
Review: Finally out ! The DVD all Transformers fans have been looking forward to. And if it's as good as the Gi-Joe DVD that also recently came out, then it's going to be another winner. The movie starts off with the introduction of most of the old characters seen on 1st Generation 80s shows. They all get together for one massive battle. At the end of this battle, Optimus Prime and Megatron face off. Prime is fatally wounded while Megatron is taken away by his fellow peers only to be left drifting in space. Prime dies and gives the matrix of leadership to Ultra Magnus. The story continues and we see Unicron (a giant planet that devours anything in its path), destined to destroy the Matrix. The movie has an excellent array of characters, including Leonard Nimoy, Judd Nelson, Eric Idle etc. A definate must for all Transformers fans.

Summary: Back to the age of Quarrel
Review: After a war that has raged for millions of years a race of sentient robots is forced off their home planet of Cybertron, by a lack of resources. Devided into two warring factions, both the Autobots and the Decepticons make their way to a new planet, known as earth. Upon arriving, their mothership cleverly modifies their transforming ability - allowing them to change into vehicles of this planet, making them able to move around unnoticed. The Autobots believe they should protect the vulnerable race of 'flesh creatures' that inhabit this planet, while the evil Decepticons decide the human race can perfectly be used as slaves. The story of Transformers 'The Movie' picks up in the year 2005, when Autobots have relatively successfully integrated into human society, while Decepticons are scheming back on Cybertron. Little do they know that entire races of beings are following their moves, and are planning to strike at the both of them. Also, the story incorporates a giant, planet devouring ball-shaped entity. It's far away, yet it's closing in... And The Transformers will never be the same again. The entire movie is an action-packed thrillride, accompanied by a brilliant 80's-style rock music score. Still, there is plenty of room left for drama and storytelling, fluidily integrated into the storyline. One thing needs to be said, though - I can remember when this movie first hit the public, some people were more or less disappointed. Fans who had watched the tv-series for years somehow expected something else. It's true: TF the movie differs from the tv-series (I think it's a little bit more mature), but most fans revised their opinion after watching the movie a couple of times. Probably, the tv-series picking up the movie-storyline afterwards really did help with that. Still - this movie stands as a milestone in animated movies. The animation being vastly superior to any animated movie (at that time), and the storyline and its narration keeping you excited at all times. A warning ahead though: if you don't like 80's cartoons like (the original) Transformers, G.I.Joe, or maybe Robotech this movie might be disappointing. On the other hand - you have a chance to understand an entire generation of fans, in case you missed this the first time. For a couple of bucks, what's the risk? Your children will probably like it, anyway. Two things remain to be hoped for: a 5.1 remix and (please) the original theatrical aspect ratio. Even a lack of those couldn't ruin the movie, yet their presence would only intensify the experience...

Summary: Hell has frozen over!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: Finally!!!!!!!!!! I have been waiting for eons unimagined for this DVD!! Truely a cinimatic masterpiece! Being a kid in the 80's you knew GI JOE and Transformers. Of course the movie was nothing more than a way to sell new toys, but we ate it up all the same. Now all we need is for "The Powers That Be" to notice the market for all 80's cartoons!

Summary: Oh, the '80s...
Review: Remembering my days as a Transformers fanatic I look on this movie with heaps of nostalgia. Back when they aired this movie in five chunks within the weekly episodes, Transformers: The Movie was the first time I remember a cartoon having an impact on me. Characters actually *die* in this movie! And there are opening titles and end credits! Of course, back then I couldn't tell just how significant it was that Orson Welles lent his voice to this movie, but the memory remains a good one. As with most nostalgia trips, my grown-up revisitation of this movie doesn't measure up to the original impression. The Transformers cartoons always had some significant plusses and minuses to them. Assets: The collaboration between U.S. and Japanese artists means better artwork than usual; storylines can be tougher and less goody-goody than most U.S. cartoon series; occasionally really great voice work (in this case Welles, who brings his theatre actor's grandiosity to the character of Unicron and makes him more interesting than just a megalomaniacal villain -- think Hans Gruber); adrenalin and lots of giant robots, making this a complete guy series. Liabilities: The entire series came from various arcane, Japanese toy lines, which can be really goofy when you see certain characters thus "imported" into the Transformers series (Starscream, Soundwave, Megatron and all the Insecticons, just to name a few, have all been sold in other packages); the impulse of the Transformers to sell the tie-in action figures also means that most episodes, this movie included, aim to feature as many characters as possible to maximize a kid's buying incentive, which can result in cluttery, overlarge casts. And problems specific to this movie: Violence, occasionally too slow a pacing, and a plotline neatly ripped off from Return of the Jedi. The plot of Transformers: The Movie is a marvel in derivation. Switch "Autobot" for "Jedi", "Matrix" for "The Force", "Unicron" for "The Emperor", "Galvatron" for "Darth Vader", "Optimus Prime" for "Obi-Wan Kenobi", "Junkions" for "Ewoks", "Ultra Magnus" for "Han Solo", and "Hot Rod" for "Luke Skywalker", and you have Return of the Jedi in its entirety. The dialogue is also a hit-or-miss affair, some great lines going to Galvatron, Unicron and the Dinobots (especially high marks to the character of Wreck-Garr, the Junkions leader, who stands as the funniest character in Transformers history), but all the good guys speaking in macho-talk and good-guy cliches that get boring in a pinch. And those two human characters, Spike and Daniel, never failed to annoy me to no end even back when I was eight years old. But enough. It was certainly nice -- not to mention weird -- going back to watch something I loved when I was just a kid, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't get any kick out of seeing giant robots rampaging through my TV screen as if it were still 1987.
