“Power Rangers: Dino Charge Unleashed”

PowerrangdinoI believe kids, young and old, will like the new Power Rangers series. It is cool how they get their powers from gems, called Energems. There is even a Power Ranger who is a caveman. He is still alive and looks young because the gems stop the aging process of any Individual who holds it. Each ranger uses a gem and is ageless. Each ranger also brings a unique talent to the team.  There is a new evil villain named Sledge, and he has minions that the Rangers go against

Watching the new episodes (1 – 4), I saw the fledgling rangers work together and grow as a team. Fighting together, they became familiar with each other while at the same time working together at the Dino Café. Dino Charge can easily be a favorite among Power Ranger fans, as its story is unique and different from the others.

Sledge is an intergalactic bounty hunter, and he wants to get his hands on the Energems, which the Rangers unearthed and use for their own powerful dinosaur spirit. The rangers use Dino-fueled weapons and new Mega Zords, too. Together, they must protect these gems at all costs from Sledge’s monster minions while keeping the whole universe safe.

“Power Rangers Super Megaforce: The Legendary Battle”

powerlegacyThe Legendary Battle picks up exactly where the last episode of Power Rangers ended. The citizens of Harwood are in a hopeless situation and in need of help. Carter and Dana, as Lightspeed Rescue Rangers, Red and Pink, show up and help. You might be surprised to see them returning as cameos in the series. That is what this series is all about: returning Power Rangers. It is one of the best cameo returns for this series because Carter and Dana are still rescue workers. It is great to see these two performing in their ideal environment. Some of the other legendary Rangers fare pretty well, but Carter and Dana stand out strongly.

Other legendary Power Rangers return to help the citizens as well. Cassie, TJ and Leo save people and animals alike. They perform functions that are not in line with their original nature, which makes the comebacks more interesting. Most fans will smile to see them not just back, but in magnificent HD.

Then, the other Rangers wake up and truly see how bad everything has become. The Power Ranger team reunites with Gosei, who is still the awful adviser and does absolutely nothing to help the team. The story is strong at this point, where the actors are stellar. The pain on their faces shows their concern for helping the world. Andrew Gray turns in a strong performance as well.

I don’t want to give the whole story away, but I hope I’ve given you an idea of what to expect from the DVD set. The final episode has the extended 10-minute version, which is a real treat. You will see the realistic defeat of Emperor Mavro.

Another extra is added: a 10-minute Legacy clip from Lionsgate. This is the finale of the legacy, well worth the time and effort to watch.

“Power Rangers: The Perfect Storm”

Power Rangers DVDs are so popular with the kids and some adults. Each collection is worth owning, and recently released The Perfect Storm is no exception.  The five episodes are pure entertainment and never fail to satisfy the ardent fan.

One episode follows Orion, who unlocks every sixth ranger power while his helmet morphs, revealing each one of the Power Rangers’ helmet designs with his costume.  As a result, the rangers lose their energy because it is taken from them when Orion morphs.  How will they get their power back? It is such a fun story to watch.

Another episode with a quirky twist features one of the monsters becoming smitten with a ranger. A love triangle forms when another monster tries to destroy the ranger to have the female monster all to himself.

The next episode is about two of the rangers who switch bodies. It’s hilarious when they adjust, learn how to be the other Power Ranger, and notice the disparity in their personalities.  They even try to discover what triggers the change.

In another episode, Tensou ventures outside the command center to witness the arrival of a fierce storm.  It approaches quickly, and Tensou is hit by lightning. He loses his memory and is lost. The other rangers search for him. Once they find him, they do everything in their power to help him recover his memory.

I can see how the kids will go crazy over these storylines. Overall, and of course, The Perfect Storm will please any Power Ranger fan.
