Summary: Restored and remastered
Review: Finally they have fixed the Transformers m,ovie and re-released it in the original opening night format. For those of you who were not at the opening, this movie caused a panick at the theatre beacause of the violence and profanity. By saturday night a new edited version of this movie came out to satisfy parents. Now almost 20 years later you can once again see it in its original complete form. Hopefully this DVD will usher in a new generation of Transformer DVDs from the original series to the new series in japan. All of these DVD's are excellent and have been restored so that even the most fussy of viewer will enjoy. ...

Summary: Transformers is back witha vengence!!
Review: Well, they are! Not as if the movie is any different than it was, but that it's on DVD just is incredible. Of course the sound and visual get touched up, and it's worth it! I love watching things on DVDs. Transformers really deserved this edition...of itself. Well, the menu isn't much, but it is pretty cool. And there's an interview with the guy who wrote the music, which I think is pretty good. It's strictly for rainy days, though. Enjoy this DVD, if you're a Transformers fan, your day has come!!

Summary: Finally found after nine long years of searching; the best.
Review: For nine long years I've searched and searched for the movie, but I never found it until the seventeenth of August of this years of 2001 when I found this movie online. I ordered it on that (which was a Friday), and it was delivered the following Monday. I was a hardcore fan during the eighties when the Transformers (the original) was on tv, and I have been a hard core fan since. The most tragic scene in the movie, is when Optimus Prime (the mightiest of all the Autobots of Ark Legends (the Ark Crew)) dies. It brought tears to my eyes when I first watched it, and it brought tears to my eyes when I watched it after it was delivered. I just wish that they had made a movie or an episode where Rodimus Prime and Optimus Prime fight side-by-side. I gave Transformers: The Movie a five-by-five rating. I recommend this to anyone who saw the Tranformer Series in the eighties, and who follows their dreams.

Summary: TF movie... at least one to be made
Review: I saw `Transformers the Movie' twice in the theatre... did Spike really say that `unspeakable' word? It was great to see several of the `original' Transformers, leading to the intro to the newer ones like Hot Rod, Blurr and Galvatron (the reincarnated Megatron). A bit of action (could have used more but a plot was necessary), one liners and the Dinobots' love for Kup's war stories... classic.

Summary: Transform Yourself Back To Your Youth
Review: When I saw that this movie was available on Amazon.com, I don't think I waited but a few hours to mull it over before I ordered it. This is a terrific movie that really sends you back to the 80's and your youth. What makes it even better is that the DVD version really brings out the sound and picture quality of the movie. Along with "G.I. Joe - The Movie", this movie best exemplifies my childhood. I played with the toys all day and watched the cartoons religiously. I even remembered some of the lines from when I first saw this movie. Basically, the plot is the same as the show...Decepticons versus Autobots. However, in this go around, the violence is intensified and robots actually die. Quite a contrast from the show. After reclaiming the home world of Cybertron, the Decepticons want to wipe out the Autobots for good. After a destructive battle at Autobot City on Earth, the Autobots are chased across the galaxy until they make a final stand against new enemy Unicron in Cybertron's orbit. In the process, many of the original Autobots are lost including Ironhide and Optimus Prime. Even after all these years, I still got misty when Optimus died defending his friends. One thing I didn't understand, if they could fix Kup and Ultra Magnus when they were hurt, why couldn't they fix Prime and the others? Oh well, a minor detail in an otherwise spectaular film. Even though it was made 15 years ago, the music and graphics are good and the pace of the movie does a good job of telling the story. If you haven't made your decision yet, buy this film. If not for you and then for your kids who didn't have the privilege of growing up with these mechanized heroes.

Summary: Excellent fantasy action film!
Review: Ah, the summer of 1986.. I saw this movie twice-- the second time, because I was too scared to go see ALIENS.. As a kid back then, i was totally into going to see this film-- and I was not disappointed-- I felt the death of PRIME was done tastefully-- I felt then, as I do now, that comic-book/animated action shows should deal more directly with the consequences of violence, that sometimes people DO get hurt and die-- the anti-injury imperatives imposed on most post-70's animated US shows are potentially more injurious in terms of perception of reality, than the reality that some people feel they're protecting kids from-- Enough ranting-- this film introduced many "new" characters into the Transformers canon, including Kup, Hot Rod, Galvatron, and more-- Arcee, the female Autobot, makes her debut! You would think that all the Transformers were monks! Also, like Optimus Prime, many characters met their final fate in this film-- Such is the nature of war... Spike, who was college-aged during the TV show, is grown-up now, with a son, Daniel, who, like his father, is drawn into the Autobot/Decepticon war whether he likes it or not... The planet-sized threat of Unicron reminds me of Galactus in Marvel Comics' FANTASTIC FOUR comics.. Seemingly omnipotent, granting powers to those who will do his bidding, etc., and needing the energy of entire planets to survive... The connection is made even more curious when one considers that Marvel's Animation Studio in LA was key in co-producing the TV series, along with SunBow productions. Unfortunately, even the celebrity voices in the cast (Leonard Nimoy, Judd Nelson in his brat-pack heyday, and Orson Welles) couldn't make this film a hit at the box office. The toy tie-ins were obvious, and, to many, this film just smacked of commercial exploitation.. But to fans of the show, it was way beyond a simple excuse to say "buy this stuff!" On top of all that, is the sobering reality that in the United States, animation, as a story-telling form, is cursed to be perceived only valid for telling stories to children. in Japan, anime' has long been an accepted element of adult-consumed pop-culture. But even the technically excellent TITAN A.E. could not escape reaching only animation cultists at the box-office. Certain inroads have been made-- for example, the SIMPSONS TV show has been a hit with adults for a decade now-- and the recent success of SHREK has revealed that adult sensibilities and animation don't have to be at odds with each other.. A Japanese-produced sequel to THE TRANSFORMERS has just started airing on the FOX KIDS network-- Perhaps, if it is a big enough hit, we may see a long-delayed sequel in the franchise...

Summary: Yea Baby, Transformers Live Once Again!
Review: Yes, TFTM on DVD! All is right with the world! Transformers used to be my favorite cartoon of the 80's followed by Loony Tunes and GI Joe. I am in my 20's and still loving the Transformers! I mean, what a great series when it first came out; classic good (autobots) vs. evil (deceptacons)stuff.My nephews watched TFTM with me and absolutely loved it. Yes the music is kindof cheesy and Optimus does die, but you gotta love the G2 deceptacons (Galvatron, Cyclonus, Scorch and the Sweeps), too bad this cartoon series died out. I am not a big fan of Beast Wars but find it more tolerable than Digimon. Anyway, I rate this DVD a 5 for the movie content and not the extras. The extras are severely lacking, you would think they would have incorporated more to this classic. This movie has some of the best lines for a cartoon series, for example: Devistator: "Prepare yourself for extermination." Unicron to Megatron: "Proceed.... on your way to oblivion." Rumble to Constructicons: "Nobody calls Soundwave uncrasimatic!" Funny because Rumble misinterpreted uncharasmatic. Unicron to Galvitron: "For a time.. I considered sparing your retched little planet, Cybertron.... but now... you may witness its... dismemberment!" You may think I'm a little off base for pointing out lines, but it's this kind of scripting that can enhance a movie. TFTM's animation may not go over well with the new generation being used to dazzling visuals like that of Disney, but I think they may appreciate the cartoon for its uniqueness. For Transformers fans this DVD is a must get, no widescreen, but the remastered picture with the 5.1 sound is slammin' on the Home Theater System. Hope this helps. I'm out!

Summary: I love Transformers: The Movie! Its wonderful!
Review: I love Transformers The Movie! It is wonderful! It is full of wonderfully done Japanese Animation from Toei Animation company and Sunbow/Marvel Productions! The story premise takes place in the far feature of the cartoon show. The year is 2005,The Evil Megatron (Frank Walker) and the evil Decepticons have taken over Cybertron. But Optimus Prime(Peter Cullen) and the Autobots fight back and still surface the area of Cybertron in the Autobots Moon base. There hope is to one day take back Cybertron and vanquish the evil Decepticons in order to regain peace and harmony. Meawhile a planet devouring entity, Unicron (Orsen Welles) reaches near the planet Cybertron destroying all in its path. The plot turns, In a Great Battle on Autbot City, Optimus Prime is lost in battle. Megatron makes a deal with Unicron to destroy the Autobot Matrix of Leadership. Unicron turns Megatron into the more meancing, Galvatron(Leonard Nimoy of Star Trek!).... "Let this mark the end of the Cybertronian wars, and mark a new era of peace and happiness, Till All Are One!" quote from Rodimus Prime

Summary: Warning: No Japanese language audio track.
Review: Subject says it all. That single fact means a no sale for me. The laserdisc version of this released a few years back in Japan had both English and Japanese audio. Why the American DVD version didn't have that option, I have no idea. It would have been so easy for them to include it. Even for people who don't understand Japanese, it would be a kick to hear Optimus Prime in his original language.
