The Transformers: The Movie - SteelBook [4K UHD Blu-ray, Limited Edition]

Love the and love the animation!

Transformers: The Movie 1986 is the darker continuation of the battle between the autobots and decepticons. Initially a commercial failure at theaters, the film deepened the Transformers saga, introduced important characters, and went on to become a cult classic. No need to rehash the plot as most everyone who is reading has seen the film and if you havent't well you should buy immediately.As for the film itself it has been remastered and looked awesome. There are two discs offered here- the film in widescreen and full screen. Transformers The Movie was actually animated in full screen and played theatrically with a fake cropped top and bottom to create a widescreen effect. There is not much image loss on the widescreen version but it is noticeable in some scenes. The second disc here offers the full screen for those that prefer that version. The film has also been restored to its orginal script, with Spike uttering his famous expletive as Unicron tears up a Cybertronian moon.The bonus features are pretty decent. There are original trailers, a short on the restoration process, and nice documentary called 'till all are one which brings back voice actors and creators to discuss the film.The digital copy offered here is a bit of a mixed bag. You are required to visit a website using the included purchase to get a redemption code which takes you to a very confusing website where the film will actually start playing. Above the screen afterbclik ing arounc you will find 4 download options such as 1080p, 720, etc. You must select your choice and a hard copy will download to your computer. You would the have to import this copy to your itunes, uktraviolet, or vudu for it to work. It's not very user friendly. If you are looking at getting this just for the digital copy you may be better off buying directly from a service offered here on amazon or itunes depending on your format of choice.The physical copy is really great to have in my collection, replacing my very old 2000 dvd copy. This new version comes in a glossy slipcase and features reversable cover art. You can choose between the image of Optimus Prime and Hot Rod holding the matrix or flip it to art similar to that of Australia's Madman bluray release showing Hot Rod, Arcee, Kup, Springer, And Ultra Magnus standing in front of Unicron as he devours a planet.Overall I am very happy to have the restored and great looking version of this film in my collection. An easy recommendation and worth uograding your old dvd.

My kids recently discovered the G1 show on Tubi for free (I'm fine with that) and they love it. So at the end of season 2 we had to go watch the movie, which isn't on Tubi. I saw this as a kid and loved it. I watched it in college for nostalgia and realized it was okay, but kind of convoluted, and really uneven as a story.Now I've watched it with my kids, as a dad, and while it's still not that great my kids (ages 4 and 8) loved it and it was fun watching it with them.Yes it's a huge toy commercial, but that doesn't mean it's bad. The animation still holds up and there's a lot of action, naturally. So few kids show today have real bad guys and good guys. The bad guys are always just "misunderstood". Kid's want, and I think need, clearly defined lines of good and evil. The original Transformers has that which is part of why, I think, my kids like it.This is a movie that needs to be watched with kids in the room, with a bowl of popcorn, and you're maturity level turned down. It's fun, made specifically for kids.Though, I still think it's hilarious that they had the Transformers cuss. Why? Who does that appeal too? My kids didn't even catch it lol.

Remember when I went to see it at the movies back in the 1987 I was 25 years old watch the cartoons on channel 12 it is Cartoon movie ever

Purchased as a gift for my 44 year old brother, who was a major Transformers fan when we were kids. Very happy with shipping speed.

Transform and roll out. Bittersweet memories of the last gasp of Generation 1 of the greatest cartoon ever on the big screen. I've always had a love/hate relationship with the movie(or rather its story)Imagine, if you will, the Justice League or The Avengers at the end of a 2 year run decide to kill off the most famous characters(Batman, Superman, Captain America, Thor) and replace them with third stringers you get the idea of what this was to us way back in the foul year of our lord, 1986.This is not to say the movie is awful. It's cheesy, fun, and a definite great way to spend 2 hours. If you grew up watching the series, this one's for you. The animation, soundtrack, and voice work are all superb and perfectly delivered. The story? Not so much....... The creators of the series themselves admit they had no idea the characters were so popular until after the movie premiered to sobbing preteen kids who cried about their deaths. I'm guessing only Old Yeller was the only other film where children cried this much over the death of a character.What I liked:The restoration is great, and eye-popping(sight and sound)New features, including voice cast interviews and stories.CommentaryWhat I didn't:More cast member interviews would have been nice.Additional commentary from Peter Cullen and Frank Welker as well.

Il est trop génial 👍🏻

I am a very happy Autobot.This is my second time ordering a transformer dvd on Amazon and I was not disappointed at all. I was a little skeptical because sometimes the dvd can come damage for the case but this time it came brand new seal still on and I never knew it was based in 2005 when I was born lul. But I'm beyond happy to watch it all. Thank you. Oh before I forget this is a 1986 movie. The songs are similar to bond Jovi style like the transformers movie song dare according to my mum idk who bond Jovi is so I'm putting it in the review. But it's a must buy for a transformer fan or someone who just getting started into learning about the autobots and decepticons.From- An autobot (D.p.p)

This movie is just pure awesomeness! Too bad I didn't see this movie at the the movies in the 80s. I was 10-12 years old back then, but the movie wasn't shown at the movies in The Netherlands. Now that I've seen it...wow! The soundtrack, the animation, etc...Great!

Takes me back to watching this as a kid, had to buy it for all the nostalgia

Es una excelente pelicula, muy recomendable para cualquier fan de Transformers, llena de nostalgia, con una muy buena historia y la banda sonora de la epoca es muy disfrutable. Para ser de 1986 hicieron un gran trabajo con la remasterizacion, las escenas de accion se ven mucho mas detallas y nitidas.Solo como información, solo viene con audio en ingles y subtitulos en español, la realidad es que no es problema gracias a el elenco de voces tan reconocidas de esa epoca como Peter Cullen, Frank Welker, Orson Wells, Leonard Nimoy entre otros.Tambien no estoy seguro si solo me paso a mi, pero creo que a partir de 2017 ya no llega con la copia digital, algo lei que solo era valida hasta 2017, supongo que por eso la dejaron de incluir despues de ese año.En conclusion, es un excelente producto, imperdible para una coleccion de transformers o cualquier persona que haya sido introducida a la franquicia con las peliculas modernas de Bayformers. No podria recomendarla mas.
