Product: The Transformers - The Movie (1986)
Rating: 4.0
Clean translation to DVD, few extras though
This movie is a classic for any fan of the Transformers television series. It includes cameos by many of the original Autobots and Decepticons, a new, earth-shattering villain, and even the occasional profanity from the characters when they get into a jam. There are also excellent voice roles by Leonard Nimoy, Eric Idle, Robert Stack, Judd Nelson and Orson Welles. The plot makes radical, permanent changes to the original cast of characters (some tragically) and introduces a variety of new ones along the way.As for the quality of the DVD itself, both the sound and video are significantly clearer and sharper than the VHS edition. Fans who were disappointed by the murky translation to VHS will be pleased with the cleaner feel of the DVD.On the down side there are minimal DVD extras other than a storyboard and a "transforming" main menu. Sadly, it includes none of the additional material that was included in the European release of the movie.
