DVD Reviews of Power Rangers RPM, Vol. 1: Start Your Engines
DVD Review: Decent Entry for Power Rangers
Summary: 3 Stars
I am late to the Power Rangers RPM game and missed it when it aired originally on tv. Because I do not have the ability to catch reruns I happened to decide to view the DVD. There seems to be a nice fan following for this show online so I decided to jump onto it.
In order to enjoy the show one must embrace several things with Power Rangers. Power Rangers started its first season with Mighty Morphin Power Rangers in the ninties. During that time it prided itself on cheesy graphics using models of mechas and didnt do anything to hide the fact that these were fake models. In todays age the same thing is apparent in RPM, so the animation of the scenes looks extremely aged. Second, the actual CGI they try to incorporate looks goofy (vehicles that look really juvenile, less than the lower 8year old and less sect of viewers is probably whom the style appeals too). Lastly, you can clearly tell that the fighting is as fake as ever. The difference here is that they finally abandoned the use of sparks emanating from everything when it is hit and eliminated the use of enemies who shake and jiggle on the ground when they are defeated. However, the fighting is fake and inimaginative and you have to accept this fact to move on.
Storywise, the show has this rediculous premise of being the only safe haven from this computer virus that caused the computers/robots to take over the world all except for the city of Corinth. It is hard to believe but that is the premise. The villian himself is rediculous and over the top, however, the amazing Taneya7, who is introduced in this volume, is a great assest to the villain cast and has the most memorable parts.
The rangers themselves are spot on and people will have their favorites. I will not say whom they are since that will spoil a twist in this volume.
DVD wise, the set is quite on the cheap side, meaning the features are lacking with nothing more than just a few Disney DVD/Blu-Ray previews. The menu only spans one page, the set is only about the first five episodes and leave you begging for more at the end. There is nothing at all that hot about the DVD box itself either, just a simple black case.
Ultimately, I would say to buy this set if you can get over the same problems with the show. With the sketchy past of the Power Rangers DVD releases, one probably needs to get these fast since there most likely will not be a collectors edition released.
