Movie 7 on DVD, sweeet. Movie 7 by itself as a weak story, but the story was already laid in the episodes. And the story isn't what shines in this movie...
Audio 2.5/5 - There was nothing particularely wrong with the audio, but once again, Funimation fails to put it in stereo. We only get regular mono for this one yet again, which is really poor for a DVD release.
Video - 5/5 - The video quality was flawless. Funimation this time, has not messed with the picture like they do in some of the episodes. Next, I have to addresss the widescreen issue. All 13 Dragonball Z movies were in fact, created in FULLSCREEN. However, they were first released in Japanese theatres. So Toei Animation cut out some of the picture to make them widescreen. Then, once released on VHS, they took the chopped up widescreen version instead of the original fullscreen. Funimation, however, recieved the originals from Toei, and now, for the first time ever, we can see the original un-chopped movies, which is great. I admit the widescreen versions seem alot better because it makes it feel more like a movie, but the movies were originally fullscreen. If you search around the web you can find screens comapring the DVD with the original vhs widescreen version to see the chopped off difference. So, that's that.
Subtitles - 2.5/5 - The subtitles in here are okay. No major screw ups, they just use saiyan instead of saiya-jin (though they use all the rest of the japanese nomenclature) and Goku says "ain't" one too many times. It really, really ruins Goku's character when I hear him say that. "aren't" "isn't" and "I'm not" are all replaced with that horrible word. The rule should be, if you can't speak proper english in the first place, don't do enlgish subtitles. The subtitles in say, movie 1 were perfect. SO they should really get the old translater back, or just ask Toei for a copy of the script in english.
Story/Action - 4/5 - I love this movie. The story is weak, but it's about the androids, so we already know the story. What shines is the fight scenes. They're absolutely beautifull. I think this movie has some of the the best fight scenes ever made in the entire Dragon Ball series. Perfect balance between their use of ki, and old school fighting. Amazing ending as well, one of the best movie endings. I won't ruin it for those who haven't seen it yet, but this is one Genki-dama and pissed off Goku you won't want to miss.
Overall, 4/5 stars this one gets. If it wasn't for the audio and slight subtitle screw ups, it would be 5/5. I'd reccomend it to those who have the original VHS as well.
