The Centurions: Part One

Brilliant worth the money

Perfetto come da descrizione!!! Arrivato senza problemi, nei tempi indicati.

I have burned copies of this show, but I wanted actual legit releases of this it. The picture is clean and crisp, but the sound leaves a little to be desired. You have to really turn up the TV to hear it well.The sets are very "bare bones" in that they don't contain any extras, which is a little disappointing. Like many other cartoons from the 80's, Centurions had little educational shorts at the end of each episode to off set the violence of the show. In this case each lesson was about science and technology, in keeping with the theme of the series. These are not present on these DVD sets. Like I said, kinda disappointing.But these sets are still very worth getting if you are a fan of the show and toys, or just remember it from your childhood and want a nostalgic trip down memory lane.

Never thought we get this DVD set! Actually never thought we get the mini-series but here we are. Great news, the first five episodes of the series, which is the mini-series, and already on DVD, is NOT included in this set! Here is the episode list:1. Whalesong2. Tornado of Terror3. Denver is Down4. Micro Menace5. Attack of the Plant-Borg6. Operation Starfall7. Let the Games Begin8. Firebird9. Cold Calculations10. Return of Captain Steele11. Three Strikes and You're Dead12. Double Agent13. Child's Play14. Terror on Ice15. That Old Black Magic16. Max Ray: Traitor17. Crack the World18. Incredible Shrinking Centurions19. Live at Five20. The Mummy's Curse21. Counterclock Crisis22. Zombie Master23. Malfunction24. Broken Beams25. The Chameleon's Sting26. Film at Eleven27. Hacker Must Be Destroyed28. Showdown at Skystalk29. The Warrior30. Return of CassandraIf you are an astute Centurions fan you would have noticed immediately that “Battle Beneath the Ice” is missing from this list but it appears that the episode listing is for chronological viewing pleasure and not the original running order! Some may protest this decision but I think it’s a nice touch.The set itself is standard fare with 3 discs in a normal DVD case (solid case, no eco stuff). The DVDs are DVRs and have disc labels which list out the episodes on each disc. The menu screens are in a widescreen aspect ratio which means they properly fill up the screen on my 46” tv. No animations or sounds present on the menu screen. Each episode is in a 1.33:1 aspect ratio.The episodes appear to be remastered like the mini-series was remastered. What is not remastered are the end credits. The end credits look like they were pulled from a VHS tape. I’m not sure about the intro but I’m re-watching the mini-series now and the coloring on the standard intro looks brighter on the mini-series than on the Part 1 DVDs. Again, I’m not sure about this so if someone wants to chime in please do so.What is missing? I don’t see any commercial bumpers on any episode on Part 1 DVDs. Also missing are the science lessons at the end of each episode. I really hate that the series is missing the science lessons and commercial bumpers but this is an MOD and a fairly obscure title for most folks. Honestly I’m surprised to see the episodes remastered (but I guess I am assuming that they are remastered and maybe they’ve looked this good all along). Part of me wants to give the set four stars because it’s technically not complete but at the same time I think we’re getting more than we could ever hope for here. The episodes look great and that’s what counts and that’s why I give it five stars.I hope to provide an update soon once I get through the 30 episodes to let readers know if I came across any video/technical issues.[A final note, since the episodes are missing the science lessons this lends me to believe that we have syndication prints circa the mid-90s. I’m not educated enough to know if original footage is missing or not but since the lessons are missing I’m betting these episodes are the ones found in syndication and not originally aired episodes.][9/26/15 Update - finished all 30 episodes on Part 1 and I'm happy to report no technical issues with the DVDs! I just can't get over the picture quality. Whomever remastered did an amazing job. Underrated show in my opinion.]

Great
