Summary: Transformers the movie
Review: I enjoyed this movie very much. I am a serious transformer fan. I thought this movie was filled with action and adventure. Also in this movie there were some unexpected twists and turns. For instance when Optimus Prime got killed by megatron, and when Ultra Magnus was killed by Galvatrons airplanes, and finally when Hot Rod realesed the power of the Matrix and became Rodomous Prime.

Summary: Wheerrree's the widescreen??
Review: This movie is a classic. I remember jumping for joy the moment I heard they were finally going to release it on DVD. And what's more, the word out on the street was that they were actually delaying the release date to include as much bells and whistles as possible. Sadly, this wasn't the case. Among the features that I had HEARD were going to be in it which ended up NOT:-The Touch music video featurette
-Japanese language dubbing,
-Cutting Floor scenes,
-Subtitles of any sort, and most importantly...
-WIDESCREEN format. I read from another disatisfied reviewer that this version was not made by a true transformer fan, and I concur with that opinion 110%. It appears as if it were aimed at children (interestingly enough even though they restored the R-Rating material) True, Transformers: G1 fans might be a select group, but I've always said, if something's worth doing, it's worth doing right. Unfortunately in my opinion, this was not done as well as it could have. The movie's great, though! Just not up to its DVD format potential.

Summary: Very cool movie
Review: This movie is one of the coolest if not the coolest, I recommend this for any transformer fan, I own the VHS version of this movie and im getting the DVD from here very soon because I want to see the changes and the cool stuff added to the DVD version of this movie.. I used to love transformers as a kid and I still do, and Megatron will always be my favorite Transformer out of them all because in my opinion I think he's the coolest, and I'll say Galvatron is cool too considering Megatron was transformed into Galvatron, but this movie is very very cool, better get a copy of this movie while its still availible!!

Summary: More Than Meets the Eye
Review: [TO VOTE NEGATIVE IS TO SAY THAT YOU HATE TRANSFORMERS.]
I've seen this movie since I was 9 years old. I've watched it ever since and I still love it. People say it's a rip-off of Star Wars. So what? So did Battlestar Galactica and Robotech (both EXCELLENT shows). Also the voice-acting is good; not the best in an animated movie (Toy Story would probably get that honor), but Leonard Nimoy's portrayal of Galvatron is awesome. Not only his, but Judd Nelson's (The Breakfast Club!!) portrayal of Hot Rod as well. The animation is top-notch, even by today's standards; the one-on-one battle of Optimus Prime and Megatron still is a marvel today. Out of the soundtrack, the best songs would probably be "The Touch" and "Dare" by Stan Bush and Weird Al Yankovic's "Dare to be Stupid", which ironically meshes well with the Junkions. I was shocked when it came out on DVD. My brother felt compelled to get and watch it again. You'll be amazed, it looks so much better (not to mention cleaner in appearance). Completely restored and digitally remastered (also with interesting storyboards in the extra features), all one can say is "THEY'RE BACK." More Than Meets The Eye.

Summary: Superb Picture Quality, Superb film!
Review: I could go on forever about why TFTM is my most sacred childhood film of all, but one thing that surprised me most, was the transfer quality!
For an 80s film, the Picture and colours are better than i remember seeing at the cinema! - really sharp and bright. Far superior than the re-released VHS copy i foolishly brought as well. For some unknown reason though, The quality declines a bit when they arrive on the junk planet (probably because of the amount of detail)
As i said, Top film, Top disc - the ideal copy of TFTM to own forever. - what are you waiting for?! - its cheap, so dump that old VHS copy and get the DVD now!

Summary: There's more than meets the eye to this classic feature
Review: For schoolboy Chris Kula, seeing "Transformers: The Movie" for the first time was a religious experience. At the tender age of seven, nothing was more epic than seeing the Autobots and Decepticons battle on the big screen. Truth be told, almost 15 years later, the movie has the same effect on me. "Transformers: The Movie" really is more than meets the eye: It's hands down the greatest animated film ever made. On the surface, it's the classic story of good (the heroic Autobots) versus evil (the devious Decepticons), but the movie works on so many other levels of quality. For starters, the film's mature storytelling style was pretty much unheard of in an American cartoon. The movie marked a huge transition in the Transformers universe, introducing major characters and (gasp!) killing off some of the cartoon's most well-known figures - when talking about the cartoon, you suddenly had to specify "before the movie" or "after the movie." Speaking of maturity, my God - the death of Optimus Prime? I have to imagine a number of young children were first introduced to the idea of mortality through that famous scene where the broken and battered Autobot leader slowly turns a lifeless gray. Sniff, sniff. And the fact that "Transformers: The Movie" featured swearing essentially broke all the rules for animated features. Whereas our parents can remember exactly where they were when Kennedy was shot, our generation's moment-in-time will be when they first heard Ultra Magnus say, "Open, damn it, open!" The seamless Ron Friedman script is a study in solid screenwriting. The action shifts from Earth to the far reaches of space as the Autobots strive to save their home planet of Cybertron from Unicron, a terrible new foe that devours everything in its path, all while being pursued relentlessly by the Decepticons. The climactic three-party battle above Cyberton ranks right up there with the Endor battle sequence in "Return of the Jedi." Great story aside, it's really the character development that drives the film. To kill off Prime in the first 15 minutes of the movie was nervy enough, but to eliminate the Decepticon leader Megatron, too? You almost believed director Nelson Shin had gone too far until Megatron was reincarnated as Galvatron, the baddest Transformers villain yet. And it wasn't just out-of-work hack actors supplying the voices for the Transformers, either. The movie benefitted from an all-star cast of Hollywood's B list: Robert Stack of "Unsolved Mysteries," Eric Idle of "Monty Python's Flying Circus," Casey Casem of certain FM stations and fast-talking John Moschita of Micromachines fame all contributed voiceovers. In what was arguably his second greatest role ever behind John Bender of "The Breakfast Club," Judd Nelson portrayed the Autobot upstart Hot Rod, and in what was easily his greatest role ever, Leonard Nimoy's Galvatron shows a fiery presence. But the real coup de grace comes from Orson Welles as Unicron. Yes, Orson freaking Welles, Citizen freaking Kane. I would have loved to hear Welles' agent pitch the role to him: "Well, they really see you as a planet-eating monster -- trust me, it's an Academy-caliber role." The film's score, by '80s composer extraordinaire Vince DiCola, stands as one of the most inspiring soundtracks this side of "Rocky IV" (which, coincidentally, DiCola also produced). As if hearing the Transformers theme song performed hard-rock style by Lion wasn't enough to thrill you (and it is), the soundtrack also features the amazing Stan Bush epic "The Touch." I basically see the world in two categories: Those who know the words to "The Touch" and those who don't. "Transformers: The Movie" has got the touch, it's got the power ... yeah! When all hell's breaking loose, it's right in the eye of the storm.

Summary: no letterbox?!
Review: I'm very disappointed that the movie is not in letterbox format. This is film is a classic and should be preserved in it's original format, not sliced for TV. I would have also liked to see interviews from cast members and the director. At least they restored the unedited version. The DVD was obviously not put together by a true Transformers fan.
