    Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
    Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
    FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
    Catherina If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
    MuggySphere And I gave it a high 7.....Why? Because it bloody well rocked. At the time when there were so many OTHER shows on that were tied to toys/games this show was unique in that it had overlapping stories. As others have said here it was ahead of its time. Sadly this is why the show was doomed. They have released 4 DVDs with 16 episodes of the series so far. I am hoping that more come out. How does this compare watching it now 20 years after it first came out.. I don't know I still like it despite the sometimes clunky animation, and that IMHO is it's only flaw. The writing was almost top notch and way ahead of the competition........ I do hope for more DVDs or even a set of all the episodes in proper order... The DVDs are good but I don't think the stories are in their proper order, but despite this the show rocked.
    EthanGilchrist Though this series only ran a season, it has stayed with me for 20 years. It was by far and above my all time favorite cartoon ever. I would give nearly anything to have it on DVD or whatever format I can get. If you find any means of seeing this series I suggest you take full advantage. This series was the first one (in my opinion) that had a truly coherent storyline that spanned across multiple episodes. It also made me truly care about the characters and what happened to them. Heck the character Goose actually scared me sometimes. He was just that odd at the time. Also the leader of the group reminds me a lot of a combination of Clint Eastwood/Tommy Lee Jones. If anyone has any way of contacting the creator/holder of the rights to the series and can get them put out on DVD please by all means do so!!!
    pro_crustes What I liked best about this wonderful series was the way it mixed advanced tech (robots, space travel, etc.) with rustic tech (farming, camping, etc.). This one had a touch of realism that comes from showing how people in an advanced society might integrate their technical assets with older skills in a synergistic way. It reminded me of the same feel that Robert Heinlein's "juvenile" stories (Farmer in the Sky, Starman Jones, Between Planets) created, and in the same way. These rangers aren't just about pushing buttons and saying, "make it so" to their androids. They deal with people in some pretty gritty situations, using _everything_ a lone law enforcer has to call upon, whether it blinks, beeps, or just needs a swift kick.Like everyone else, I dearly wish SciFi or Cartoon Network would run this one. It was great.
    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.
