Hottoceame The Age of Commercialism
LouHomey From my favorite movies..
TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Brainsbell The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.
cdietz94-667-599244 While I think animated is better, this is with out a doubt one of the greatest animated series ever. Beast Wars is a sequel to G1 following Optimus Primal, the son or grandson of Optimus Prime, as he leads a group of Maximals, Cheetor, Rattrap, Rhinox, Tigatron, Airazor, Silverbolt, Depth Charge, Tigerhawk, and my favorite character Dinobot. While the evil predacons are led by Megatron, not the same one of course, as he leads Terrersaur, Scorponok, Waspinator, Tarantulaus, Quickstrike, Inferno, Rampage, Ravage, Dinobot 2, and Blackarachnia, who turns good as the series progresses.The series had wonderful and in depth characters, recurring story arcs. Animation seems outdated yes, but still looks rather nice compared to other things Mainframe did.100/100
tyranid_slayer I watched this show growing up. And i loved it. I use to watch it Saturday mornings and buy the toys. This was one of my favourite childhood shows next the dexters labaratory or 2 stupid dogs.I remember watching beast wars everyday and enjoying every second. It was only after beast wars initially cancelled i heard about the transformers vehicle version. I originally thought this was a cheap rip-off of beast wars. Then i found out that transformers was around first. But the odd time you would find beast wars on i would watch it even now when the animation looks cheap.My favourite beast was cheetor i remember thinking how cool he was fighting the bad guys. It took me a while to find the toy but i almost had everyone anyway! Beast wars is a classic even if you prefer transformers anyway. The animation looks cheap now but it's still worth a look now if u catch it in re-runs.
denis888 I remember I first saw this serial in Poland, where I was working in 2000-2001, and then I got hooked on it, and started to watch every episode in the morning or daytime, before or after my classes. It really did catch me! I was enthralled and marveled. Before that, I had hated to see any of the original Tranformers Series, but Beast Wars is a huge step forward, a real progress and areal improvement. What is bad there is a second-rate computer graphics, it is at its best naive or even extremely poor, and you see all the obvious mistakes, the goofs with the position of this or that hero in the given place, his or her coloration or the odd design of the background. Never mind, the plot is breathless. The incessant war between good and band animals, Maximals and Predagons, is very real, and you see not a gorilla, not a wasp, a rat, an eagle or a cheetah, but real people beside, behind, inside them, with their real problems, characters, tragedies and even very cute humor. The Rat one is the best, a cunning little cowardly creature, very lovable and sweet. And what a romance story in the second season! I re-watched the whole serial here in Russia and still am a great fan of it. Watch it!
redplatypus01 I watched this show loyally when it was on air and years later i unregretably bought all 3 seasons on DVD. I was a fan wen i was 11 and I'm still a fan when I'm 18. The show is for all ages, kids enjoy the action and cool graphics while adults can enjoy the quirky references and great storyline. Now the story is based on the previous Transformers show but you don't have to know it to easily follow along. I'm not even a fan of Transformers, but i feel instantly in love with Beast Wars, every reference to Transformers can be understood without previous knowledge.I think the reason its such a good show is the character and story development. Each character has their own personality, agenda, and past. They are all so different and real, you can really relate. Since you get attached to the characters you get engulfed in the story, which is always full of great twists and clever plots. Everything is well written and thought out.Overall i definitely recommend this show: funn, clever, sarcastic, visually pleasing, just all around great!
