[alvix]

Have you guys noticed they are releasing the new anniversary dvd? I saw a trailer on youtube and I really, really cannot wait! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dU2TiL7Vgs

 

[Ratzo]

This is only a week away and there are some other great youtubes plus some stuff on the official site.

I love the dirk diggler from boogie nights trying to do "the touch". We are very excited about this release in my house.

 

[Lazlo Panaflex]

I'm very excited especially since one of the features is watching the movie with pop up trivia facts from TF nerds like me.

 

[Randomhero984]

www.tformers.com has a review of the upcoming DVD.

 

[Ratzo]

That review was really interesting, sounds like he really liked it.

I can't wait to see all the special features, I'm most excited about the trivia game. I hope they have a lot of good questions in it, all my family loves Transformers and that would be a fun game for us to play.

[Ratzo]

Hey congratulations, Guardian! I am so jealous that you got your copy early, I will have to wait.

It's good to hear people are getting the DVD, I read on a different board that someone heard a rumor that they were pushing back the release date so now I'm really relieved that other people are getting their orders.

 

[Randomhero984]

One of the best DVDs I've bought in a long time!

 

[Dave McFly]

well i got it today as the guy at the store said would be tues or wed. I cant wait to watch it later .

 

[tzarinna]

Has it been 20 years,my god?
I'd like to get that too.

 

[thedeadite]

i've watched it 3 times since yesterday....(theatrical version, first commentary, and with trivia pop ups)....and the decepticon magnet is rocking my fridge hard...which i must say was an amazing little bonus.

 

[SHADOWBAT69]

I picked it up Thursday. I cant believe how they cleaned up the picture quality. Very bright. Watching the trailer and t v spots was very nostalgic, I actually remembered them. Seeing the "lost" episode was also interesting, dont know why they never showed it in the states.

Has anyone found any of the easter eggs on either of the disks? Im coming up empty. :/

 

[tzarinna]

I just bought it,thanks for the link McFly.

 

[nosebleed.]

I know the re-release is old news but to everyone unhappy with the "too bright" coloring of the new dvd (especially Hotrod who looks magenta?) there is an "ultimate edition uk coming out. Here's the link:

I felt a bit jipped with their "colour correction".

My assumption of colour correction was that they would correctly colour animation (robots), ie. 2 of Blaster's cassette robots coming out the same colour instead of one being black and the other blue - I thought when they said "colour correction", they would fix the colours so one robot would be black and the other blue. Same with Rumble & Frenzy in the film as well as other animation flaws.

 

[lars573]

Those are all animation errors. Which have zero to do with the colour of the overall movie.

 

[y2jversion1]

Yeah but it was colour in the animation that was wrong - like I said when I heard about it being "colour corrected" I didn't think that they would just brighten up the whole movie - I thought they'd fix those minor colour flaws in the animation.

 

[lars573]

Well Eject and Rewind (along with Rumble and Frenzy) are the same model with different colours. But it's pretty obvious they just doubled the animation. Plus going in and making those kinds of animation corrections would be really expensive.

 

[Kenny Eugene McCall]

Bought the DVD, and man, it was the first time that I saw Susan Blu in the flesh on the screen, and she looks good for her age!

Which leads me to this question: Who would win a political debate between Arcee (Transformers), Galadria (Visionaries) and Stormer (Jem)?

Anyway, back to the topic. I thought that they did a good job on the cleanup, and the Scramble City footage and toy commercials were cool.
