Editorial Reviews

Two classic Dragon Ball Z movies remastered!

Cooler's Revenge: Saving the universe can be tiring business! So after their big battle with Frieza on Namek, Goku, Gohan, Krillin, and Oolong decide to take a little camping trip for some rest and relaxation back on Earth. But their peaceful weekend is soon interrupted by a menacing force. Frieza has a brother -- Cooler! And with his powerful Armored Squadron, he has come to Earth seeking revenge. Cooler will not rest until the man who destroyed his brother is vanquished, even if that means blowing up the entire planet! Goku was able to tap into his hidden powers and transform into a Super Saiyan once before. The question is, now that the Earth is threatened by Frieza's older (and stronger) brother -- can he do it again?

The Return of Cooler: New Namek is besieged by an enormous evil entity -- the Big Gete Star -- a 'living planet' of metal that sustains itself by devouring entire worlds. Fearing for the existence of his people, Dende, the new guardian of Earth, turns to Goku and his friends for help. The Z-Fighters spring into action in an effort to save the new Namekian home world from this invading menace, but their fight won't be easy! The Big Gete Star has an army of powerful Cyclopean Guards at its disposal, and what's more, at the heart of this metal giant lurks an old enemy… Cooler!

5.0 out of 5 stars BD version, December 26, 2010

This review is from: Dragon Ball Z - Return of the Cooler / Cooler's Revenge (Double Feature) [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)

This is the 4th and 5th movie of DBZ. It follows the series a little better than the 1st 3 movies, but still not all the way. Its one of my 2 favorite movies of DBZ. Now the picture on the BD version is a tiny bit better than the dvd at the most. The only really reason to get the BD insted of the DVD is the audio is a little better and/or if you are a very sirius Dragonball fan. The reason I give it 5 stars is that it is the best version their is, unless they re animated it which is very unlikly, and the price is not bad for a BD (blu-ray).

3.0 out of 5 stars Good compared to VHS, not much difference from the DVD version., November 25, 2011

Unless you're upgrading it from VHS then don't worry about buying a blu-ray version if you already have the DVD.

Having watched the original DragonballZ on DVDs and despite their best attempts at restoring the original films, the blu-ray version doesn't seem to offer any real advantage to the DVD versions.

You will still notice the film grain throughout the film.
Another issue is given that the original version was made for 4:3 the up scaling to 16:9 didn't really do anything for the film and feels like a cropped/stretched version of the original.

The storyline itself is fine as I am a huge fan of the series and for the price on Amazon it was a good deal which is why it got a 3 out of 5 instead of a 2 out of 5.
