ReBoot Audience Reviews

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
Foreverisacastironmess This was one of my all-time childhood favourites and it still is today. The animation style was so out of this world and was nothing remotely like anything I'd ever seen before and I was hooked, from the first show. Every once a week it was a little bit of super-fun happiness at the thought of getting home and watching ReBoot! How it looks is still kind of startling to this day, even to me, and I still get take aback for a second when I haven't seen it in a while! It had such a rich spirit of fun and adventure to it, and as it went on and was eventually free to do so, it skillfully introduced a little welcome darkness and tragedy into the mix as well. The iconic intro always got you in just the exact right kind of mindset to get into the world of the show, and of all the variations, I liked the one with Megabyte the best. Such an utterly fantastic and commanding villain. Calm and cultured, calculating and deadly. It may not have seemed so at first glance, but of the two viruses, he was the truly destructive and malevolent one. What a performance from the late- great Tony Jay to leave behind, you can really tell that he relished every last second that he got to voice the role. Heroes and villains alike, all the characters were terrific and I just loved to watch them. The Binomes are a bit annoying and stupid at first but they do grow on you a lot, they used them in a lot of funny referential skits. I liked the Mulder and Scully ones! My favourite character is insane chaos personified, Hexadecimal because she was often hilariously outrageous, but you also always got a sense of the awesome power that she commanded. And I loved the spidery way she glided around and would wave her hand over her mask to give it a new fixed expression, I found the idea of her fascinating and a work of art in itself. Also her warped and often scary but genuine love for Bob was touching and she actually undergoes the most character development, going from a straight-up villainess to a real hero who sacrifices herself to save everyone. As a kid I never saw beyond the episode where Bob is shot into the wild Web by Megabyte and Enzo claims his badge as the new Guardian because that was when CITV decided to stop broadcasting it. It was the better part of 20 years before I got to see the rest and really take in and appreciate fully just how much the series evolves from what it starts out as. It was such an amazing concept that the sprites' realm of Mainframe may have been an individual computer from the other side and was like an island floating in space, and their whole universe was part of a vast web/internet - whatever you wanna call it, and that the "User", presumably the human being who operates the computer in the 'real world', may as well have been god as far as the Sprites were concerned, and that when a game was put into the system, to the User it was harmless fun, but to them it was a sporting, but still desperate struggle that they absolutely had to win, 'lest a giant cube-shaped chunk of their city be permanently obliterated! The metaphorical implications can practically be interpreted in a hundred different ways! This was a show that had everything, and it's just as enjoyable today as when it first aired. And no way in hell is it just blind nostalgic fandom that keeps it alive, it really is a show that holds up beautifully. The amount of references to pop culture, video games and computer technology that is excellently integrated into near-every episode alone adds hugely to the fun appeal and watch-ability factor of it. I'll always love this show, it'll never lose any of its magic or lustre in my eyes. Thank for ya time, and with that..heck all I can think of to say is "REBOOT!!!"
Kano first let me tell u that my spelling is not correct but what i want to put across is my idea. i hope is understandablewhat a great idea this show<< don't u get it??? this show is life it self, u have to see this show between the lines its contents is so provocative that ABC canceled it after 2 seasonsbut this show will only be understood by people who understand the reality of life, I'm gonna explain, i hope u understandits like this, in reality u were first a soul not who u r now in your body, u originally were a soul, therefore thats the first reality, follow so far? now, your soul decides to go alive at any period of time and any place your soul wants in order to meet the challenges your soul needs to evolve, get it??this show, shows that with symbols and clues for people who knows this, like this>>>all the characters are in the spirit world, and when a game comes in the ones that went inside have to accomplish the level in order to stay alive, and the game can be anything, at any period, and any place; race car driver, cow boy, just like life, get it???? when in the TV show a game comes in is just like when your soul goes in the game of life. like in the movie dark city. same concept, at midnight everyone sleeps meaning they die, and wake up being someone completely different don't u get it??? this films are symbolic but the average person is so hopelessly dependent on theyr reality that they cant accept this. its all real but symbolic. the matrix, dark city, reboot, the game, wake up readers study and ask your self the ultimate question: why are we here. stop shopping so obsessively, stop talking about people, stop watching dumb TV, stop now, all this things keep u from your real purpose. accomplish this level.
emasterslake This was one of the TV shows I grew up watching. Remenbered first seeing it on ABC 12 years ago. Only seen a few episodes at first. Got to see more of Seasons 1 and 2 and the new Season 3 when it aired on Cartoon Network.This cartoon is unlike anything you'd see. It's taken place inside a computer. The characters are virtual and saber like beings. The ones that look like humans are called Sprites. While the others are shape like 1 & 0(computer language) and some large numbers as well.Has the stuff and parts you'd find in any PC. Only it's more like a City. The city is called "Mainframe" and it's infected with 2 Viruses who are wreck havoc in this system. The city's only hope is this Guardian(A sprite that defends Systems from Viruses and other harmful things) named Bob.The other problem besides Viruses are these Game cubes that drop slowly from the sky. You have to be inside before it hits the ground. If you loose or didn't get into the game then it'll cause damage to the system. If you were inside it after a Game Over then you'll get Nullifide and become a Null(a mindless slug thing).So it's important for a Guardian to win these games so that way there's no damage or Nullifying in the system.This Cartoon is a must see. It has a lot of characters to admire and hate. It ran for 3 complete Seasons and 1 unfinished Season. It's a shame this series doesn't have much fame to it, it kept getting canceled and brought back more than twice.But it is a really cool cartoon to watch. Much cooler than Jimmy Neutron. Proves there was something before Jimmy Neutron as well.The incomplete Season 4 episodes are found on DVD. That one had a good start but it shouldn't of ended in a cliffhanger. You're able to either Downloading them or wait for a decent DVD Box sets to come out.It's a real treat to watch.
Nicola Joanne Bolton Here be *spoilers*Now and again in TV, something really really brilliant comes along and grabs your attention. ReBoot was one of those brilliant things. I was 11 when ReBoot was first aired in the UK, in September 1994. I remember the first episode being shown on CITV and thought "Hmm, this is going to be good - the first TV series completely in CGI" - I'd just got my first PC so was interested in all things computer related. The show spoofed many different shows and this became something of a trademark of ReBoot. Wallace and Gromit, James Bond, Wacky Races, indiana Jones, Pokemon, the X Files, Sailor Moon, to name but a few. I seem to recall a Spinal Tap joke too.Season 1 and 2 were good, but it was season 3 that really blew me away. That was when ReBoot grew up. Freed from the crippling censorship of ABC, each episode took on a darker, more adult theme, and many of the characters were upgraded - Dot suddenly had eye popping cleavage, and skin tight outfits, subtle innuendo started creeping in "I think she likes being tied up" Enzo became a tough as nails renegade, blasting most things that moved with his gun, In the episode "Megaframe" Megabyte decapitates Phong, seals his head in a jar and then tortures him using shock treatment to extract some important computer codes. Other episodes see binomes being blown to bits, Matrix fighting with Megabyte and giving him a nasty gash across the stomach - wow, what a series this was! I so wish the entire lot would get released on R2 DVD in the UK, so I could relive it all again. my fave character is, and will always be Megabyte - surely the most suave and cunning villain ever - oh and he's quite hot too, LOL! Superb voice work from Tony Jay really made Meggy have such an impact. Oh and anyone who doesn't think Meg's new appearance in season 4 makes him look sexier is wrong!!! My Rating: ALPHANUMERIC. If you don't like ReBoot, you're just random.
