3.0 out of 5 stars Love and Hate, March 6, 2009

By	Kevin O'Connor "eva391" (VA. United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I love the Original series and purchased this item to finish my collection. This add on is not very good it lacks the feel and draw in appeal of the original. I'm sure others will like it but the computer slap on art work just didn't mix well for me and it didn't appeal to my artistic side. Would I want it anyway? of course - it completes a great series.

2.0 out of 5 stars Highly anticipated, fails to deliver, December 23, 2007

By	Book Reader - See all my reviews

This review is from: Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles (Video On Demand)

Like so many fans of Robotech, I was looking forward to this newest installation in the continuing saga of Robotech. I purchased the books when I was a kid, reading with anticipation every page even though I already knew the stories from the TV show. Having read the Sentinels series as well as the final chapter, The End of the Circle, I could not wait to get my hands on this movie.

Alas, the early giddiness in which I found myself as I watched the movie soon gave way to that emptiness on Christmas morning when you realize that the one toy you really wanted failed to show up. No, there is no Santa Claus this year when I watched this movie. The creators wanted too much to put their own spin on the story - not thinking about what fans like myself would have wanted to see.

Shame on them, shame on the company that let this thing, for that's what it is, get made. If only the Regis were able to start anew - perhaps the new Shapings would allow for that correction and make the movie we all wanted to see - A better representation of the stories and characters behind the Robotech saga which we all loved.

Unfortunately for me, I won't be able to get a refund. I bought the DVD in Phoenix during my travels. It's not even a rental, in my opinion. Maybe if you're lucky (or unlucky) someone else will rent it and you get to watch. I hope not.

4.0 out of 5 stars early release?, August 26, 2008

By	D. Cormany (King of Prussia, PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Hmmmm...I just bought this item at Best Buy today, 8/26, on Blu-ray for $19.99 - both Amazon and the Best Buy web site list it as having a 9/2 release date...guess it came out early. Loved Robotech growing up, so this is like icing on the cake.
