Product: The Transformers - The Movie (1986)
Rating: 4.0
An Underground Cult classic. Seriously Underrated!
Ok. I am a fan of the Transformers show but that does not dicount my attitude toward this film. I can be realistic too! First off, you have to like animation: don't think in typical terms of "oh it's not live so It's no good" This film is a daring attempt at action-packed, full on techno-rush... if you get my drift! They kill AT LEAST 50-75% of the favorite characters from the T.V. show and don't even slow down to take a breath! The animation is awesome for the most part. There are a few misteakes here and there, but it is visually stunning. The soundtrack is PERFECT. It fits. You don't have to like the music outside of the movie but it is very moving and keeps you excited! The best parts are the artistic anime-style angles and film techniques, along with the pure fun of watching Optimus Prime and Megatron Duel! Honor and sacrifice don't very often see this kind of treatment anymore. It is interesting to note how much Optimus has in common with John Wane, he has to save the Autobots... he's the only one who can! Look for it like a diamond in the rough! TRANSFORMERS:The Movie!
