Transformers: The Movie

Will it live up to the original, or will it bomb like D-Day? Time will tell.

Personally, I'm excited. I almost wet myself.:PLong live Transformers!:D(Now if I could just find Voltron on DVD, I'd be all set.:P)

Edit:
Oops. My computer is acting wonky lately, when it comes to the internet.:PIt seems to get confused when I try to copy web addresses.:PSorry for the mixup.

I never knew that Transformers had BoBaFeTT's Trainer for it.

It appears to be a remastered version of the original, not an entirely new movie. When I was a kid and saw the transformers movie for the first time I was amazed. I watched it again recently and I have no idea what I was thinking about, that movie is terrible.

It's nice that they are taking the time to gussy up the original, but I won't be the first in line to buy it.

Cheers,

Munk

Actually Occhi, and everyone else, I think that's an entirely DIFFERENT thing than what I linked to. What I TRIED to link to, anyway (and have now corrected). It's a theater movie, coming out on July 4th of 2007. The site is one of those typical "We're counting down the days until you get to see anything about the site" deals. But, it's pretty cool nonetheless.:D

Sorry again for the confusion of links.:P

That looks awesome. But uh... doesn't Optimus Prime have a RED tractor?

yeah but this is just a tech demo and the white chassis demonstrates a greater level of shine and reflection than you might get out of a red. it could be they decided to change the color for this to make the demo look better. or it could be that the demo is of Ultra Magnus, who had a white cab.

Heresy! The original Transformers movie was amazing. Optimus Prime dying traumatized me for about a week.

I'm not that big of a Michael Bay fan, but he makes good popcorn movies so that is what I am expecting for this new Transformers movie.

The soundtrack wasn't too bad either...


And at a Suncoast Video a counterman told me that Voltron DVDs would be released in the not too distant future.

The DVD link is an anniversary remaster of the original, but that is not the project Roland was trying to link to.

As for the original movie, I saw it in the theatre when I was a kid, and haven't seen it since. I liked parts of it, but I think it was kind of the beginning of the end for me and transformers. Transformers without Optimus Prime and Megatron is kind of like ER without Ross and Hathaway. Or like one of those comic series that split into an alternate reality where everything is messed up. It's not a good thing. And you know they killed off so many characters to sell more new toys. Once I got my very own Nintendo, it was pretty much over for the Transformers anyways though.

Have you watched it recently? I remember it being spectacular as a child, too. But seeing it again made me realize it lost all its luster.

I loved Transformers: Beast Wars. I wish Beast Machines was out on DVD.

Now that really is heresy. You could get burned at the stake for that one.

I had almost completely forgotten about that show: I used to love it as a kid. One of the things that really stuck in my head about it was that the toy companies could never decide if the leader guy was supposed to be an F-14 or an F-15.

This is the greatest thing ever. If the movie is 1/10th as good as this, it will make millions (billions!).
