SUPERB CGI, SOLID ACTION AND DRAMATIC SCENES
2 May 2023
Warning: Spoilers
The first few minutes of Voltes V: Legacy-The Cinematic Experience highlights how Ned/Hrothgar ends up on earth, falls in love, starts a family with Mary Ann, and builds Voltes V.

The three-week-long part of the series is compressed in one hour and 45 minutes, so there isn't really character development.

The action begins (literally and figuratively) the moment the five main characters don their pilot suits.

Their V formation and mechanical transformation in close-up as the Voltes V shout the familiar lines as they fight adversaries are all powerfully evocative scenes for this writer, who grew up watching the famous Japanese series.

Fans will surely feel nostalgic hearing "finger missiles," "chain knuckles," "ultra electro-magnetic whip," and "laser sword" during the giant robot's fight scenes.
