Widescreen vs. Full-Frame: Ending the Controversy, Hopefully
Hello, <
> <
>I started looking into this question of how "Transformers: the Movie" was photographed and found these helpful URL's below: <

>Apparently the fellow(s) behind this site have done some rather extensive research on this topic and found that it was indeed done in a 4:3 aspect ratio. The idea was to allow each theater to perform their own matting based on whatever projector they have. It's a practice known as "Open Matte" or "soft" matting. <
> <
>I hope this puts your concerns at rest for purchasing any reissue of "Transformers: the Movie". Unless, of course, they decide to use DVD-9 (dual layer DVD) and thus not use so much compression on the video (I refer you to the URL's for further explanation). Save your cash for a Blu-Ray / HD-DVD player and all the titles you'll repurchase to see your movies in true HD format ;). Now if I only had that 20th Anniversary Tron DVD... <

>Oh yes, the movie is a lot of fun. The music is what it is, but it was 1986! What do you expect? That's the only reason this movie gets (4) out of (5) from me because it gets to be a touch grating on the ears at times. Anyway, get a pizza, a few root beers, and enjoy this movie. <

Stop the Music!!
Okay, I went out and actually bought this movie because I haven't seen it since childhood. About five minutes into it a bunch of the old-school characters get wiped out. Then another five minutes sees more of them getting sent to silocon heaven. The story was just flat out ridiculous, here you have this planet that is annihilating the universe but no one has ever seen or heard of it? <
> <
>Enough about the plot, I know it's a kids movie. Now to the really annoying part, the music. Every battle sequence was filled with awful 80's hair-rock music, lyrics and all. Most movies, like donnie darko, use short clips but this flick played entire songs. I heard "The Touch" in both the beginning and the end of the movie. I can't stress how much I hate that tune. The only time I liked it is when Marky Mark butchered it in "Boogie Nights." <

>The overflow of music makes this "so-called classic" impossible to enjoy. Thankfully the movie is just under 90 minutes, and if you try hard enough, it's possible to make it to the end. But be warned, for those of you that enjoyed it as a youth, times change and people grow up! This Movie Sucks Ass!!

Why NOT a widescreen version, spent THOUSANDS on HDTV?
What were the people @ Rhino thinking by not releasing the original widescreen version of the movie. Do they know that there are people out there with large sums of disposable income who have & will spend thousands on widescreen HDTVs in the very near future. I won't even rent a fullscreen movie, muchless buy one! Let me relive my childhood in widescreen you heartless bastards. And to those of you who don't like widescreen movies because of the black bars @ the top & bottom of your antiquated TV sets, it's time to upgrade. What can't afford a new TV, to damn bad! Till all are one! P.S. Stop making fullscreen DVD's
