Reviews
Brainsbell The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
notgivens Such fun this show was, after a long hard day in college learning electrical engineering principals, I would run home and tune in to the galaxy rangers. Brilliant for it's time, solid plots. Aliens that need our help come to us and offer us the tech to get us into the battle for the galaxy... but then you have a huge bunch of earth based morons out there causing havoc... so what do you do, you create THE GALAXY RANGERS to keep things in check. The super-soldier, Shane Guzman who can alter his density and makeup, the leader (who's name I forget) with his energy weapon cyber arm, his wife Niko, the psychic hottie and doc (read Token), and his three little computer AI friends come to save the day every time. The only problem I had with the show was the lame comic-relief they felt the need to create, but so did George Lucas, to similarly degrade a great scifi universe.
konrad_ha This show was quite a big hit in Germany. Although no one can really recall a single episode everybody remembers how good GR was. It's rather sad that this great series sort of disappeared. I wonder how I'd like it now that I am an adult?What I personally remember were really good and intelligent story lines, something totally novel for cartoons at that time (80s). Being a big fan of Anime by now I am still amazed at how far ahead of it's time GR was, especially for an American production. I can't think of anything from the US or Europe that ever came close to it.Obviously it's finally being released on DVD now, and I'll happily spend some bucks on it.
wilhunteye It has been 16 years since it's original run, I would have hoped by now some "marketing wizard" would have promoted a live actor version of this classic by now, or at least sought to re-release the original 65 episodes. I can't fathom why the sci-fi or cartoon network haven't snapped this up. Galaxy Rangers actually had well thought out plots, and even better scripts.The animation was above average quality for it's time, and excellent when compared to the talking slide show Japanese animation of today. It predated the heavy toon-toy tie in market, this may have sealed it's doom too. I would willingly spend cash on a DVD of GR if available.
Tsarith As a writer of science-fiction and fantasy, I find "Galaxy Rangers" to be one of the best written sci-fi cartoons ever. The scripts and dialogue are satisfying and the characters are captivating and dynamic. Every other sci-fi cartoon should take a lesson from "Galaxy Rangers." I'm a big fan, and I sincerely hope that "Galaxy Rangers" is brought back on the air somewhere. Anywhere. Are you listening Cartoon Network?
