A Piece of Nostalgia That Should've Been Widescreen
I watched this movie in a theatre when I was very young and thought it was cool. I could've sworn it was in widescreen so I wonder why this DVD release wasn't the same format as well? Anyway, seeing this movie brought back some memories, but now that I am older, it feels a bit cheesy. You pretty much need to take it for what it is, I guess.I am glad this is a somewhat unedited version that includes Spike blurting out an expletive. I just wish it was the widescreen edition which I'm sure there was in theatres. A theatrical trailer and perhaps a featurette would've been nice but the lackthereof makes this DVD not so much of a "Special Collector's Edition" as advertised. It should've been more of a regular Full Screen Edition instead.This movie is a cult classic to many Transformers fans. It was unfortunately a box office flop so why expect a whole lot from this DVD anyway? For the same reason, I doubt they would ever rerelease this with new or better features such as widescreen. Nevertheless, if you want to relive a part of your childhood that was all about Transformers, get this DVD while you still can.PS: My sincerest apologies for constantly insisting there should be a widescreen edition.
