The Transformers - The Movie

Summary: DVD Review
Review: Just watched the DVD edition of Transformers: The Movie and was very impressed with the audio/video and overall presentation of the movie. Although the audio is 5.1, it seems as if the front and rear channels are almost identical. I guess we shouldn't expect much from such an old movie. I would have preferred a widescreen presentation (none available) but the video is otherwise very crisp and clear. Any fan of the original 1980's show will want to pick this DVD up. When the theme song (in rock form) comes on during the menu, you'll feel like you're 10 all over again, waiting anxiously for your favorite transformers to lighten up your day after a hard day at school.

Summary: TF:TM DVD review.
Review: Okay, there are over 200 reviews here. Folks reminiscing. Blah blah this... Matrix... Grimlock that... Yada yada yada. But no one's talked about the actual DVD. I think almost every review's been about the VHS versions or talking about what they want on the DVD version. Here's my two cents on the actual DVD release of one of my favorite motion pictures (Yes, it's up there with Braveheart and The Trilogy.). The picture quality is okay, better than the various VHS versions out there. Unfortunately, it's not widescreen. The 5.1 audio is mediocre at best. Not enough bass (and this comes from someone who does not like a lot of bass). It includes the missing profanity (only available in certain editions, like the Canadian version, eh). The extras include some story boards and an interview with Vince DiCola. Overall, it could have been much better, but it probably wasn't worth WB's time and money. It's under $15 almost anywhere, so it's not gonna hurt the wallet. If your a Transformers fan and own a DVD player of some sort, you probably already have it. If you're not a fan, then there's no reason to get it. If you want a non-Disney, non-anime animated DVD, you may want to try Titan A.E. or G.I. Joe: The Movie, instead. I'm glad it's finally on DVD, but kinda sad to not see the features I wanted (anamorphic widescreen, a good 5.1 mix, lotsa extras, missing scenes, etc.). Now if only Rhino could put the series on DVD...

Summary: Amazon's first Transformers DVD reveiw
Review: I saw an advertisement for the Transformers movie DVD on one of the new repackaged Transformers episode vhs tapes and immediately preordered one. After three delays it finally arrived and I was thouroughly impressed. First off the movie itself is crystal clear it's almost like they stripped a layer of the film off and recolored it. Second the sound quality is good, not fully surround but much better than the vhs version before. I wish there could have been more extra features like vintage commercials and preveiws, but there are deleted scene storyboards, and a interveiw with Vince DiCola, the movies composer. I highly recomend this DVD version for all of you Transformers fans, or if you are just a fan of great animation. I've really enjoyed showing this movie to some of the children I know, who are stuck with todays "crap" cartoons, instead of the gems from 15 years ago,(Transformers, G.I. Joe, He-man, etc). You know, maybe if the kids of today had heros to look up to like we did when we were little such as Optimus Prime and Duke we might not have all the problems we do now. Buy, enjoy, and share this movie. It will take you back, it did me.

Review: I remember way back, the obession known as The Transformers. In fact I am still into these guys, and when I heard that the excellent Transformers: The Movie, was going to be re-released on DVD, with remastered video and audio flare, that I had to pick up a copy. I have to say, this is an excellent upgrade from the VHS version, and well worth the price.

Review: Well, I just bought myself Transformers on DVD. Giggling like an idiot and running to my DVD player I was absolutley shocked when I threw it in. No extras whatsoever. Not even a theatrical trailer. Pan and Scan only ?!?!! Augh! Could it get any worse? Yep. The sound is horrible. Hissy and muted. The Video isn't incredible, either. on Par with the VHS copy. Perhaps slightly crisper. I'm not sure if I got a different version. It has a different cover than what's shown here on Amazon (I bought mine at a local video store) This version is released by a company called Seville and Sports a cover like the VHS Release froma few years back with Optimus. Needless to say. I was incredibly dissapointed. Disgusted, even.

Review: When I got this home and in my dvd player I quite literally shuddered in anticipation. The experience of starting this dvd just gave me such a thrill. I mean I loved transformers as a kid! And I still do as an adult. Rhino did an excellent job putting this on DVD and the image quality is superb (much better then the VHS I bought 6 months ago before learning of the coming dvd release). Best of all the DVD is NOT the same pared down version of the vhs and has the original dialogue (no more of that idiotic extended narrative from the vhs.) My only problem with the dvd is the lack of a widescreen transfer. the extra features are limited to those used to latter day dvd extras but surprisingly good given the age of the original material (which would also explain the widescreen problem). My recommendation is that if you at all loved Transformers as a kid or are any sort of Anime/Animation fan you must get this movie.

Summary: I've actually seen the DVD version
Review: Well, I pre-ordered my DVD a few months ago, hoping it would be different from the Rhino Kids release on VHS. The good news is, they dropped the scrolling intro. Unfortunately, there's nothing else to really set this appart. No letterbox, no deleted scenes that I could notice (no profanity), and next to no special features. The interview with Vince diCola was alright, though his voice was pretty annoying. The storyboards of deleted scenes left me wanting more. They had about a dozen shots. Most made little sense. All things considered, I'm pretty happy with my DVD (especially for the price), but I'm still waiting for a "true" collector's edition, uncensored, and in letterbox.

Summary: Transformers... need i say more???
Review: I remember this movie way back in the day, even if the TV show was just to lube up the viewers for the toys it was a fun half-hour long commercial that I still enjoy today! last month I was going through my old video collection when i found a tape with no label. I popped it in and up comes my favourite scene of megatron and optimus battling it out! The last thing in the world i ever expected to see, but now after years of neglect the tape is worn and has poor tracking (im sure the additional 10 times i've watched it in the last week and a half havent helped all that much) so i decided to get a new VHS version then I thought why not get a DVD version then i wont have to worry about tracking, I get those spiffy added features, and lots of other fun things! Its been more than 10 YEARS! since i've seen a transformers G1 TV show but im in love with em all over again I even brought up my big box-o-transformers from my basement... some may call me excentric, or obsesive but i could never bring myself to through 'em away. The thought of Optimus being melted down and reycled, or buried, or crushed was too much! long story short - I dont care if you havent seen this movie since it was in the movies u'll still love it the animation was great for an 80's show and is still pretty good by todays standards i can point out a few shows with poorer animation and weaker plots and storylines but i wont! If you have kids odds are they'll love it so do it for your kids ensure the future of tommorow today show them trnsformers the movie and transformers G1!
