EXTRAS:
“Power Rangers: Dino Charge – Breakout” comes with a slip cover and HD UltraViolet code.
For over 20-years, many people have grown up watching “Power Rangers”.
Sure, a lot of the stories are campy but for those who enjoyed the action, the costumes and the good old story of good vs. evil, that concept has remained consistent season after season.
“Power Rangers: Dino Charge – Breakout” is rather interesting because of the dinosaur angle.
As one who has grown up watching the Japanese sentai series and also the original “Power Rangers” and now having a child and nephews that are interested in them, one thing that I am glad to see is that the series retains its action and family-oriented storylines.
Nothing too violent and nothing that would make parents wince. Granted, some may object to the fighting but personally, costumed heroes vs. monsters (people in rubber suits), it’s not exactly something that I worry about in terms of fighting action. As parents, it’s how we teach our children and to not practice Power Rangers moves on other people.
As for this DVD volume, it’s pretty much four episodes that deal with the introduction of the gold power ranger and whether or not the team will gain a new teammate.
While I wished there are more episodes than just the standard four, fans of the series or parents of children who love “Power Rangers: Dino Charge”, will no doubt enjoy this DVD.
As for the DVD, picture quality is as good as one can expect on DVD and there are no special features. Fortunately, a digital HD code was included.
Overall, “Power Rangers: Dino Charge – Breakout” is a DVD that I recommend for young fans and the young at heart!
