 Cheesy Dialogue Brought to Life Mar 20, 2009
A lot of comics have pretty cheesy dialogue but having voice actors speak it into an audio presentation makes it painfully obvious how unbearable that dialogue is. That said, the art was very nice and some of the effects were cool. It did seem pretty short and it's only the first 5 comics so there's no real resolution. It's just the story of how the group of heroes got together. I do, however, applaud these guys for attempting to break out a new media/genre with this idea. I think it just needs more extras to make it worth it.
I'm a long time Micronauts fan. I've read and own the entire first series, I have most of the 2nd series and a couple of the comics put out by this company. I'm not sure why, if they were allowed to use Karza, Biotron and Acroyear, they couldn't use the rest of the cast? It definitely seems like in this series different people are filling the same roles (like Bug being replaced by the varisian, Marrionette being replaced by Persephonie, Ryan Archer being a mix of Commander Rann and Steve Coffin) but if you wanted to hook the old guys (like me) you'd want to stick closer to the original so you get the nostalgia factor.
If you're a fan (and if you're reading this you probably are), make sure you check out the micronauts commercials on you tube. They're hilarious and mostly not in english.

ok, but not for young children Aug 06, 2007
I enjoyed micronauts in the 70s and saw this as a potential way to introduce the kids. However, this has a few curse words in it, ones that I'd rather not have kids the age to play with the toys learn. The images at times are a bit too graphic for kids too. For those who enjoyed the toys as a child or are old enough for a little language and images then this DVD will be fine, though it is a bit shorter than I'd like.

 saving grace for a dying art form? Mar 05, 2006
In almost all Western countries, the comic book is dying out. What is produce by Marvel and DC anymore are really not much more than ads for thier movies. Anyone who is involved in comics would probably tell you the same. Comic books are showing that they can't compete with television and video games and paper is always getting more expensive. This DVD could be the last bastion of this art form. To say that this is like an animated movie is not entirely acurate. Micronauts Revolutions is like an audio book and because it is visual it could be called a 'video book'. The product explains itself as a digital comic.
The superb artwork by Eric Hanson and EJ Su are put under a moving camera that includes closeups of thier beautiful work with voice acting, music, and some naration. This is so well done that I wanted to see another right after it ended and I hope they produce another. It is priced under what most new movies on a DVD cost. All the giant comic companies, Marvel, DC, Shonen, and Rebellion need to be producing these digital comics. This well could be the answer to what may just degenerate into daily strips in a newspaper and ad sheets for movies and TV shows.

Like watching an animated movie! Aug 14, 2005
Grew up playing with the Micronaut toys. Now finally getting its due with an animated-style adventure DVD. If you have kids, a great reading tool since the text remains on the screen as the dialog/narration are spoken. The artwork, taken directly from the comics, looks pretty impressive on the tv screen. A unique and engrossing entertainment product that shouldn't disappoint.
