The Transformers: The Movie (1986) ****

I know nostalgia is a four letter word these days, but this movie is intrinsically wrapped up in my childhood. The Transformers: The Movie (1986) is a schizophrenic mess of a film, but one that, if it hit at the right time in your life, will always be meaningful, fun, and transformative (sorry, had to). The animation is gorgeous, the soundtrack (and score) kicks ass, and the assemblage of voice actors is impressive. My friend and neighbor Jon and I watched this tonight to get Primed for seeing The Cybertronic Spree live tomorrow night. Remember: you can win if you Dare!
