    It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

    This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

    The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

    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!!!"

    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.

    Reboot is truely unique. Not only was it the first CGI cartoon, it was also one of the first "kids programs" to actualy have proper plots, on going story lines and decent dialogue.Seasons 1 and 2 were good enough, have strong techical merity and are packed with original ideas.But Seasons 3+ is where the series really takes off. Clever storys, great action sequences, non-stop parodys and referances...it really is amazing.Some of the referances are obvious (Stargate, Blues Brothers,Gilbert and Suilvan) but others are subtle (are you being served).The charecters truely have depth to them, even the 'evil' ones. Particularly Season 4, which probably has one of the most unique nemisis's ever created.I could go on talking about it all day, but i wont.Simple watch it if its on!Especialy if its either of the TV movies that make up season 4.Deamon Rising (4.1-4.4) My Two bobs (4.5-4.8) Deamon Rising, v4.1-v4.4 is my personal favorate.

    It's 1994. I'm 11 years old, riding on a bus with my mom. I look around at all the advertisements, and one catches my eye. ReBoot. After all these years, I can still remember the tagline: "In Mainframe, no one dies. They are erased."Of course, back then I had no idea what exactly ReBoot was. But from the moment I saw Megabyte in "The Tearing" some weeks later, I knew this would be one of my favorite shows.I was fascinated by the computer animation, seeing that the computer we had at the time was a 386SX. That's what initially got me hooked. The show aptly filled the role of a "cartoon", but I could also see that it was much more than that. As the show progressed the characters became more real, more defined. Even then, I had a nasty habit of pointing out inconsistencies in TV shows, but ReBoot performed admirably in this area. The stories were never boring, and often cleverly incorporated details from earlier episodes. All the loose ends (the web, the twin cities, Lost Angles, Dot's father, etc.) that I feared would never be explained, were.As the fun-adventures-of-the-moment turned into the dark, painful struggles of season 3, I was completely mesmerised, and felt for the characters as if they were real, and then rejoiced when everything turned out alright at the end. Very few presentations on either the big or small screen have ever elicited such a strong reaction from me.In every sense, ReBoot was a great show. The characters, the plots, the visuals, it was all amazing. I'm only sorry season 4 ended on such a cliffhanger. More episodes, I say!5 out of 5 stars.
