Childhood revisited!
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
Four million years ago on a planet called Cybertron, a terrible war broke out between two races of Transformers; the Autobots and the Decepticons. As the Autobots were badly losing energy, they decided to fly around space in their spacecraft (which I believe is called the Ark) to find planets that could provide them with new rich sources of energy. However, the Decepticons followed them and another battle broke out on board the Ark. Because they were all so busy fighting one another, nobody was flying the Ark and as a result, crash-landed into a prehistoric earth. In this season one box-set (set in the year 1984, 4 million years later) we are properly introduced to the Autobots, such as Optimus Prime, Cliffjumper, Bumblebee, Jazz, Blaster, etc. Unfortunately, we are also introduced to the evil Decepticons, such as Starscream, Ravage the Decepticon black panther, Soundwave and their evil leader (I wish it was Starscream. He's always fighting for leadership in most of the episodes), Megatron. They are not the only characters who have a part to play in this series. Not too long after being re-activated on earth (after spending the past 4 million years in stasis mode, due to the crash-landing on earth), the Autobots rescue the lives and befriend two humans who become the main human characters of the series, a young boy named Spike and his father, Sparkplug (funny names, I know. But don't blame me. Take it up with the writers, LOL!). As you progress through the series you learn that the Autobots are fighting the Decepticons not for fun, nor because they enjoy hurting and killing. Far from it! They fight for freedom and peace, led by the most legendary and heroic Autobot in history, Optimus Prime, who proves to be very compassionate and considerate to all living creatures. He is especially compassionate to humans as he understands that they are just fragile, defenceless little creatures compared to the deadly Decepticons. This is a beautifully-done cartoon series proving to the whole world and to young as well as old viewers that cartoons from the 80s are definitely way cooler and more natural compared to a lot of the violent, computer animated rubbish we get nowadays...then again, I guess it depends what kinds of cartoons you would compare this to. As for the audio-sound featured in this cartoon series, I've read a few reviews from other Amazon.co.uk buyers and to give you my honest opinion, I cannot understand what some of them are complaining about. You get the choice of two audio-sounds to choose from with excellent sound effects and that's good enough for me and everybody else. If you have never watched 'Transformers' before and have decided to get yourself into it, then definitely start off with this one! You'll get a really good introduction to the good old classic Autobots who began the classic series in the first place. It is also advisable to watch this at least before watching the old 80s 'Transformers' movie as you will have got to know the classic Autobots by this time and will feel even more emotionally when you witness the events that take place...20 years later!Read full review
Having converted most of my old video collection to DVD I was thrilled to find this film gem in digital format. If you watch this in widescreen format, it really does the battle scene great justice; coupled with surround sound, you'll be gripped by the amazing cinematography. I would recommend the director's cut that includes scenes about the relationship between the lead character and his estranged wife and helps you to understand the motivation behind his decision. The run time is 183 minutes for the directors cut and 120 minutes for the cinema version. I was, however, disappointed by the lack of extras, which any fan of this classic would expect to be included. There's only a 20-minute interview with the director and other shot "making-of" vignettes.
i bought this for my little brother as he like transformers he enjoyed it very much so,i cant compare it to any other product as this is the first time i have bought a movie on ebay many thanks matt
