Summary: Don't Take This For Granted!
Review: This video is supposed to be an introduction to the new TV series of Buzz Lightyear that would soon be on TV, but this video stands on it's own just fine! While not as good as the "Toy Story" movies (What'd you expect?) this movie is fun, cute, and at times clever! A trend not used in pretty much...any direct-to-video sequals made by Disney! Remember "Lady & The Tramp II?" Forget it. This is NOT like that! This movie has a good plot, action, and great voice-overs by Tim Allen (Who IS Buzz) and Wayne Knight (Playing Zerg here)!However don't take this video for granted! If I had known what the TV show would be like I wouldn't have gotten my hopes up so high that Disney might actually make (After so many years of bad) cartoons again! That wasn't the case. Instead we're treated to this one good video and a lousy series that followed. Concidering the charicters were intresting in this movie and not in the series makes me wonder what happened? Is it really that hard to write some decent scripts? Anyway I totaly recomend this movie! It may be the last time Tim Allen plays the role he was ment to play in a cartoon: Buzz Lightyear!

Summary: Entertaining but....
Review: This is basically a movie for Buzz fans. It tells the story about Buzz, not as a toy, but as a futuristic spaceman. He has to face the evil Zurg to save the universe. Don't get me wrong I love Toy Story but I think this is for the younger audiences. I was always more of a Woody fan and find his story lines much more entertaining. Now as far as the animation goes I much prefer the computer graphics but I realize that that movie quality would be much more time consuming and expensive. In conclusion it was funny at times but really not a movie I would buy, I reccomend you rent it but only to die hard Toy Story fans like myself. If you haven't scene the movies it won't be as good. Oh yeah the LGMs are cute!

Summary: I LOVE BUZZ LIGHTYEAR!!!!!!! HE'S THE COOLEST TOY EVER!!!!!!
Review: When I was a little kid, I use to love collecting Buzz Lightyear action figures! I even love the Toy Story films and Finding Nemo! I even loved the picture of Buzz Lightyear lying at the dentist's office in Finding Nemo. This movie was like one of the coolest films! I would think it's better than the original Toy Story and I would place it to a tie with Toy Story 2. I might have to decide that! I had seen this film 2 years ago and I loved it! I should think about getting the DVD some day! Buzz Lightyear action figures are like the best action figures ever! If you loved all Toy Story films, then you'll love this one, too! After Finding Nemo 2, Pixar should come up with another Toy Story film, because they do well with all movies. Pixar made it's first 2-D Animated Feature, but they really do so cool with 3D Animation!

Summary: An Interesting Film, with some Good Characters
Review: Initially, I had pretty low expectations for this film and expected that it would be a quickly completed low-quality effort released only to maintain the Toy Story cash flow. How many ways can they make money from "To infinity and beyond"? However, since my household includes a three-year-old boy, any new Toy Story item is a mandatory purchase. I am pleasantly surprised how good the film is and how entertaining. My son is watching it repeatedly, and I have watched it three times with him. While the Pixar animators admittedly owe a huge debt to "Star Wars" (as they made explicit in "Toy Story 2"), Buzz Lightyear's story has the making of an interesting series on its own terms. I am looking forward to the next installment. Buzz Lightyear, of course, remains an admirable super-hero as he zealously pursues Evil Emperor Zurg. His inherent "squareness" and single-minded determination to follow the Space Ranger rules are character traits that make him interesting. What I like about the film is the way it shows how even a super-hero can use a little help sometimes. Buzz's partners are eccentric and a bit out of the Space Ranger mainstream; it is nice to see the filmmakers give a nod of approval to eccentricity. The film works as pure entertainment for children, but it also contains good messages about the value of friends, about persevering in the face of obstacles, and about how good always wins in the end. There is nothing subtle about the story or its presentation, but that is part of its charm. Although you will buy this film for your children, the whole family might enjoy watching it. Even so, I sort of dread the new action figures that we might have to buy soon.

Summary: To Disney's 1 Saturday Morning and Beyond
Review: This is actually pretty cool(not as good as the two feature films, but what can you expect?)and features a nice transition to the show. The movie reuinites Tim Allen as Buzz, but the only other cast members from the original movies are the great Wallace Shawn(Rex), R. Lee Ermy(I think that's it...he plays Sarge) and Wayne Knight(however, in the movie he played Al, here he plays Zurg). A brief CGI scene with Woody(Jim Hanks, not Tom Hanks)teasing Rex over and over and then watching the movie sets the scene. Pretty smooth cel animation, nice comedy, a little action, some clever Star Wars, Star Trek, Get Smart, etc. refrences make this worth owning. BTW, in this movie Buzz is once again played by Tim Allen, and the LGM's(those Pizza Planet guys) are played by Patrick Warburton(Kronk from The Emperors New Groove, etc.)In the show, they're both played by Warburton. Well, I've got to go construct my Toy Story fan site.

Summary: I was very impressed.
Review: I bought the DVD of Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins despite all the bad reviews given to it on Amazon. And I have to say, I was very impressed. It's not Toy Story, OK? Don't buy this expecting that, cause you won't get it. But it is a very witty, action packed movie, with a few twists and turns that I doubt anyone would predict. The animation is far better quality than most Disney direct to video releases, and some of the dialogue is great. Zurg is one of the only humorous villains that I have seen work on any movie. Most usually come off just looking goofy, but this movie really pulls it off. And although Buzz's character is slightly different from that of his Toy Story counterpart, he is still very lovable. Pretty much the only reason I gave it 4 stars was the running time. It's a bit short. But all in all, it's well worth the money, and I recommend it to everyone. I wish I could hope for the series to be this good, but the preview of it on the DVD makes it look like it will be horrible. Oh, and just to add a correction to an above review, in the beginning Pixar animated scene, Woody, Buzz, Rex, Hamm, and Wheezy all talk.

Summary: no story, a lot of violence
Review: My 3y old kid loves toy story, and especially Buzz So what a disappointment:
First of all this is cartoon-like, not animation type.
Second of all there is no story at all, except the usual simple plot: "good guy searches for bad guy, and eventually gets him" Apart from a couple of scenes like the first one, there is no humor neither (nothing like the real toy story). On the other hand, there are endless (and unexplained) scenes of laser fighting, explosions, etc... Violence at its best, that is without justification, and going on and on... From my son's own words: "it is a bad movie" (to him, it means that it is a violent/scarry movie and not fun to watch) Definitely a bad experience.

Summary: Great film, Recomended for all
Review: This movie is a great addition to a DVD collection. It is a great movie with 2 trivia games with it and it also has a Digital Comic Book. Buy it or Rent it it is great. If you liked Toy Story or Toy Story 2, this is the film to get.

Summary: To infinity and Beyond
Review: I rate this only 4 stars for the fact that this widescreen transfer is not Anamorphic. All widescreen DVDs should be anamorphic. Other then that this is great. This is actually the first three episodes of the tv show. There is tons of laser fire. There is more laser fire in this then A New Hope. Boys love lasers. Still only machines get blown up and it is not any more violet then the Toy Story movies. This tells Buzzes backstory and helps explain why Buzz was so depressed when he found out he was a toy in the first Toy Story. In this movie Buzz is a spaceranger and fights for Justice with his friends X-R, Booster, and Mira. There seems to be a debate on whether Buzz or Woody is the coolest Toy. If you are a Toy Story fan who thinks Buzz is the coolest then go buy this DVD right now. Also watch the TV show a good one.

Summary: so much fun
Review: Now, this movie is no Toy Story. It's not comparable to Beauty and the Beast, Lilo and Stitch, or Mulan. It was never a theatrical release. But as direct-to-video sequels and spinoffs go, you aren't going to find anything else out there that's half so much fun.
This movie is supposed to be something children in the Toy Story universe watch, and is presented in the style of a Saturday morning cartoon (which it inevitably became -- one of Disney's better tv cartoons, too). Sure, the animation is less than awe-inspiring, but it's a look that fits perfectly with the particular style of the story and characters.
The story is relatively simple. Evil Emperor Zurg, with the help of his mysterious henchman Agent Z, invades the planet of the Little Green Men. He steals the Unimind (a mystical orb that allows the LGMs to mind-link) and twists it to his evil purposes. Buzz, naturally, has to stop him. Along the way, he gets help from rookie rangers Mira (a butt-kicking alien princess), XR (which stands for Experimental Ranger or Expendable Robot, depending on who you ask), and Booster (the over-eager Star Command janitor). Meanwhile, Buzz is trying to cope with the loss of his best friend and partner.
There is quite a lot of traditional cartoonish violence -- lasers, explosions, and enormous, impossible-looking guns. I personally don't consider that a bad thing in this context, but it's worth noting. The dialogue is quite clever at some points, and there are some very funny sight gags. The climax is a bit cheesy, but the kids won't mind that -- and neither did I.
Depth is not the key here. It's just for fun. Anyone expecting the cutting-edge animation and beautifully original storylines of the Toy Story movies will be disappointed. But those with a soft spot for the wacky action of Saturday morning cartoons will want to watch this movie again and again.
