Movie Reviews of Reboot - Season III, Vol. 1Movie Review: Blew me away in 1994 and still today Summary: 5 Stars
I'm 41 years old and is a big fan of British TV and likes of, The Prisoner, UFO, and even Thunderbirds & Captain Scarlet. I believe that the creators of Reboot (left England for Canada) have seen my favorites and bring that same kind senseabilty to the screen for Reboot the Series. I'm also the guy that watched Tron when it first came out on 70mm three times and once with a small group of fellow geeks at the last showing in Vegas. Tron was made for 70mm large projection. 4:3 on 30in TV, Tron still loses that Spectacle experience. Reboot is a series that clearly doen't take itself too seriouly.. but now that ABC "the ABC's have turned against us!" dumped the show. (Wonder why since Reboot was roughly 5 years aheaed of anything Disney had a time!!) The animation continues to improve as do family and adult scripts. American networks are [stupid] for not putting Reboot on Prime Time. First all DDD Weekly Animated TV Series. First all DDD recordings. And still the Cartoon Network only broadcasts the show in mono. Same on them. GENE
Summary of Reboot - Season III, Vol. 1ReBoot was the first computer animated network series, and these episodes from its third season (1994) reveal how quickly computer visual effects has advanced. The designs look decidedly passé, and the motion-capture animation is limited and uneven. Enzo, the hero of ReBoot, is an adolescent guardian-in-training, fighting to protect the cyberworld from the evil virus Megabyte. Enzo's older sister, Dot Matrix, serves as commander of the defense forces; they both miss Bob, the hunky Guardian who disappeared at the end of the second season. Enzo's duties involve assuming roles in different games with AndrAIa, the obligatory spunky girl. The scenarios include heavy-handed send-ups of Pixar films, Warner Bros. cartoons, and the stained-glass knight in Young Sherlock Holmes. The filmmakers try to infuse these sci-fi adventures with the appeal of anime, but the timing and direction aren't strong enough to generate that level of excitement. ReBoot is more interesting as an example of early computer visual effects than as entertainment for modern kids. Although it is rated "suitable for all ages," violence, including suggestions of torture, grotesque imagery, and ethnic stereotypes, are inappropriate for children under 10. (Episodes: "To Mend and Defend," "Between a Raccoon and a Hard Place," "Firewall," and "Game Over.") --Charles Solomon
