The anime-inflected look is generally impressive too, although the power-rock soundtrack is unsalvageable. Read full review

These robots transform in a flash; the colors are shocking pinks and electric greens; the film is packed with one-to-one combat, large-scale battles and exploding planets. Despite these improvements, though, the movie is not for anyone too grown-up. Read full review
