Product: The Transformers - The Movie (1986)
Rating: 2.0
Really just 2 full-screen versions
Well I bought this DVD yesterday and was really excited to finally see the "theatrical widescreen version" of the film, not having seen it since 1986. So I pop in the first disc and start playing. I then start to realize...this isn't a true widescreen version! It's just the full screen version reformated to play on a 16x9 television! And actually when you compare them side by side, the widescreen version cuts off some of the image.Sure the colors are separated more but really I think I liked the colors of the original better. Sometimes the new version just seemed...washed out. The original had deeper reds and looked more natural. I was kind of used to Unicron being almost orange and not yellow.Some of the extras are good, but not overly exciting. If you are looking for the true theatrical widescreen version prepare to be disappointed. Oh well now I have 2 full screen versions and 1 full screen version that plays natively on a widescreen tv.
