Alicia I love this movie so much
Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
lucass-28989 *****Spoiler alert*****I wasn't even in elementary school when ReBoot was haired on TV in province of Quebec. I remember watching this show mostly everyday, and watching the tape my cousin recorded for me. Although it is the nostalgia which speaks today, ReBoot is my best TV show ever. Even Better than Game of Thrones!Season 1 and most of season 2 are episodic. Bob, guardian of the informatic city of Mainframe, must protect the town from viruses Megabyte and Hexadecimal while fighting the ''User'' in ''Games''. With the help of his friends, they won every time against the viruses. That was before S2E7 Nulzilla, which introduce to the show a refreshing new style, the story arcs. For the last four episodes of the second season Bob fought a lone web virus, hunting it but ultimately failed. It results in a breach to the Web, unleashing creatures of destruction. Forced to ally himself with the viruses against this foe, Bob and the Mainframe army repealed the menace, but is betrayed by the viruses and send to the net. The four last episodes of season 2 ended with a cliffhanger, with Megabyte and Hexadecimal at the edge of taking the Principale Office and control Mainframe. It took a big risk by changing the tone from childish humorously to something more serious and removing the main character.And then, season 3 came.It crushes the viewers more into the serious tone while still keeping the funny style. The first still overhauls the second. The entire season is the story of Enzo Matrix, Bob's friend and pupil, trying to fight Megabyte totalitarian forces, and then following his quest to bring Bob back. There is humour, there are dilemmas, there are twists, there are action scenes, there is everything a show needs to be good. The fourth season was never dubbed in french. For me, season 3 was the last, which is good if we consider that season 4 ended with a cliffhanger. ReBoot is still today my favourite show of all times. I think the principal reason to explain this is that, actually, ReBoot is more enjoyable for adults than kids. Although they were the prime target audience, each episode has a parody or homage of the cinematographic culture (Star Wars, Star Trek, James Bond, Westerns, Zombie movies, Mortal Kombat, etc), which is more easy to catch for old than young ones. Also, the more serious tone of season 3 was actually refreshing and (ironically for a CGI futuristic kid show) realistic. Seeing the good guys lose, the bad ones win, having dilemmas about moral and ethic, having war has one of the central thematic (the main antagonist Megabyte passing from a James Bond villain in season 1-2 to Adolf Hitler in season 3) see the heroes pushed to their limits in the darkest of days but still find the strength to fight and ultimately triumph over darkness. All of these things created not only an atmosphere but a coherent fictional universe.Season 3 of ReBoot is the best thing that ever hit Television. The story is epic, the characters are well developed, the different tributes to those movies, shows and games are funny, the cinematography is over a lot of regular shows, the musical score is awesome, and the finale is the best ending since Star Wars VI. I recommend this to everyone. We must be thankful to MainFrame entertainment and everyone involved with ReBoot for having done a so much good show.
Romeo Garcia Men i remember when this cartoons came out it was the "born" of animated computer characters (early year was Jurassic Park) so for the time was very awesome (the other awesome cartoons was Transformers:Beast wars) so i can't simple believe it that already spend 24 years!!!This cartoons was a different story for kids because in many ways they introduce the "computer" languaje for the future generations and they make it great Of course the animation was very unique and many years later a lot of new comers say that REBOOT was his inspiration.Like a say before i glad to be part of the generation of REBOOT and is make me very sad that be never be a cartoon like this in the future.
emasterslake This was one of the TV shows I grew up watching. Remenbered first seeing it on ABC 12 years ago. Only seen a few episodes at first. Got to see more of Seasons 1 and 2 and the new Season 3 when it aired on Cartoon Network.This cartoon is unlike anything you'd see. It's taken place inside a computer. The characters are virtual and saber like beings. The ones that look like humans are called Sprites. While the others are shape like 1 & 0(computer language) and some large numbers as well.Has the stuff and parts you'd find in any PC. Only it's more like a City. The city is called "Mainframe" and it's infected with 2 Viruses who are wreck havoc in this system. The city's only hope is this Guardian(A sprite that defends Systems from Viruses and other harmful things) named Bob.The other problem besides Viruses are these Game cubes that drop slowly from the sky. You have to be inside before it hits the ground. If you loose or didn't get into the game then it'll cause damage to the system. If you were inside it after a Game Over then you'll get Nullifide and become a Null(a mindless slug thing).So it's important for a Guardian to win these games so that way there's no damage or Nullifying in the system.This Cartoon is a must see. It has a lot of characters to admire and hate. It ran for 3 complete Seasons and 1 unfinished Season. It's a shame this series doesn't have much fame to it, it kept getting canceled and brought back more than twice.But it is a really cool cartoon to watch. Much cooler than Jimmy Neutron. Proves there was something before Jimmy Neutron as well.The incomplete Season 4 episodes are found on DVD. That one had a good start but it shouldn't of ended in a cliffhanger. You're able to either Downloading them or wait for a decent DVD Box sets to come out.It's a real treat to watch.
layer8 It's 1994. I'm 11 years old, riding on a bus with my mom. I look around at all the advertisements, and one catches my eye. ReBoot. After all these years, I can still remember the tagline: "In Mainframe, no one dies. They are erased."Of course, back then I had no idea what exactly ReBoot was. But from the moment I saw Megabyte in "The Tearing" some weeks later, I knew this would be one of my favorite shows.I was fascinated by the computer animation, seeing that the computer we had at the time was a 386SX. That's what initially got me hooked. The show aptly filled the role of a "cartoon", but I could also see that it was much more than that. As the show progressed the characters became more real, more defined. Even then, I had a nasty habit of pointing out inconsistencies in TV shows, but ReBoot performed admirably in this area. The stories were never boring, and often cleverly incorporated details from earlier episodes. All the loose ends (the web, the twin cities, Lost Angles, Dot's father, etc.) that I feared would never be explained, were.As the fun-adventures-of-the-moment turned into the dark, painful struggles of season 3, I was completely mesmerised, and felt for the characters as if they were real, and then rejoiced when everything turned out alright at the end. Very few presentations on either the big or small screen have ever elicited such a strong reaction from me.In every sense, ReBoot was a great show. The characters, the plots, the visuals, it was all amazing. I'm only sorry season 4 ended on such a cliffhanger. More episodes, I say!5 out of 5 stars.
