Product: The Transformers - The Movie (1986)
Rating: 4.0
Still an awsome movie less any enhancements
Like many, I was excited about this re-release from Rhino. Bought it tonight (10/5), got home, and found out it is no different than my FHE (Family Home Entertainment) version. For anyone who already has it and looking to buy it because you think it is enhanced, don't bother. The movie is NOT in stereo, mono only. This is NOT the uncut version as one of the reviewers have stated. This is a straight re-release of the FHE version. The only noteworthy item is the fact that after the opening credits an opening synopsis appears in Star Wars like fashion, narrated by Victor Carroli. I believe that came from the Japanese version. There are versions out there that are uncut (Spike's infamous "oh s**t" line). That may be worth a purchase for you if you already own the cut one. Anyway I feel that anyone who doesn't own this movie, this would be a great buy and an opportunity to own a great film and a piece of nostalgia. Audiophiles and sticklers for details like myself, steer clear, nothing new here. I guess a DVD version is our only hope for getting a real theatrical release and killer sound. Note to Rhino or any other video production company: If you do decide to put this on DVD, enhance it please!
