For my son, this DVD is perfect! It incorporates three things he really likes - dinosaurs, robots and anything that transforms!

He wanted me to rent Power Rangers Dino Thunder, Vol. 1 so many times, I decided to buy it.

My son really enjoys the action-packed, fast-paced episodes on Day of the Dino. The subplot is rather interesting (yes, it actually does have a subplot), the acting is pretty good and the guy who plays Dr. Tommy Oliver, who in my defense was 31 when he did the show, is enough to hold my attention.

After watching the last episode so many times, I had to break down and buy Vol. 2 (another must see) so we could find out what happened next!

While the new series of the Power Rangers is interesting and my 5 yo loves it, he was very disappointed with the DVD. He has been waiting for it to come out and when we finally received it, it had nothing but some episodes from the new TV series. He has seen these three episodes (first three) already. The two bonus features of the older Ninja Storm series were nice, but overall it was not what he had hoped for.

The DVD of DinoThunder was as good as advertized however, and people do need to know this. It DOES NOT contain Legacy of power, or back in black. I know for a fact from another website. It is a bookstore site by the way. Volume 2 is called Legacy of Power, and Volume 3 is called White Thunder and both are due out September 7th. I just thought for people who were hoping for both of those episodes and were disapointed that I would fill them in. Everyone have a nice night.

"Day of the Dino - Volume I" is named after the series premiere of the same name. This DVD includes the episodes "Day of the Dino Part I," and "Day of the Dino Part II," as well as the episodes "Wave Goodbye," "Legacy of Power," and "Back in Black," as well as two BONUS "Power Rangers Ninja Storm" Episodes. ("A Storm before the Calm Part I" and "A Storm before the Calm Part II").

In "Day of the Dino Part I" a High School science teacher, Dr. Tommy Oliver begins life anew after his work with a paleontologist Dr. Anton Mercer goes horribly wry. When a robotic T-Rex attacks Dr. Oliver and three misfit students fall into a sink-hole nearby on a trip to a museum, Dr. Oliver must recruit them to become Power Rangers. This is easily one of my favorite series premiers.

In "Day of the Dino Part II" the three Teens, Connor, Ethan, and Kira receive their Ranger powers to battle the evil Mesogog who revives his BioZords, mechanical Dinosaurs that wreck havoc on the city of Reefside, it's up to the Power Rangers to tame the BioZords and turn them good again. There's a lot of action in this episode, again one of my favorites.

"Wave Goodbye" is about Connor and his passion for Soccer vs. being a Power Ranger, when faced with a major decision, Connor questions being a Ranger. This was a rather dull episode in my opinion.

"Legacy of Power" is the show's 500th episode. Here, Dr. Tommy Oliver is abducted by Mesogog and three very worried Power Rangers return to their base, under Dr. Oliver's home where they discover a video diary of his past adventures as a Power Ranger; they also learn of every Power Ranger team before them. All this was is a glorified clip show, but a very good one at that.

"Back in Black" picks up directly where "Legacy of Power" left off. The Rangers go to save Tommy, whom they now know was a Power Ranger! As they rescue him, Tommy grabs the Black Dino gem and later, becomes the Black Dino Thunder Power Ranger. All in all an AMAZING Episode which featured the return of a very popular Power Ranger from the past.

In addition this DVD features last season's finale, "A Storm before the Calm" as Bonus episodes. If you weren't a fan of Ninja Storm, these probably won't mean too much to you but if you're a Power Rangers fan these are DEFIITLEY worth viewing.

I would whole-heartedly recommend this DVD to ANY Power Rangers or Sci-Fi fan.

Power Rangers Dino Thunder stars James Napier as Conner, Kevin Duhaney as Ethan, Emma Lahana as Kira, Jason David Frank as Dr. Tommy Oliver, Katrina Devine as Cassidy, Tom Hern as Devin, Miriama Smith as Elsa, and Lathaim Gaines as Mesogog.

I give this three stars because Saban is using Dinozords again, but no more because the show is cheesy, meant for kindergardeners, and a wound nearly as big as that of Power Rangers Turbo in the Power Rangers Timeline (...)need to breath, now, again, (...)

Power Rangers Season 12: Power Rangers DinoThunder is the best season in years. This is the 2nd season of Power Rangers filmed in New Zealand. The Plot is very good, but what really makes it good is the return of Jason David Frank aka Tommy from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Power Rangers Zeo, Power Rangers Turbo, and an apperance in Power Rangers Wild Force. In the Past Tommy was Green Ranger, White Ranger, Zeo Red, and Turbo Red. This season he returns as Dino Black. Since Tommy left, he went to college and over time bacame a doctor. Now, as a high school teacher, he recruits 3 of his students to become Power Rangers to fight the evil forces of Mesogog.

This DVD will include the first 3 episodes of DinoThunder and the last 2 episodes of Power Rangers Ninja Storm.

Power Rangers Dino Thunder is one of the best PR series of all time.It goes back to the MMPR storylines has it features Tommy Oliver the green,white, and red ranger.This year cast is excellent,they do an great job in the series.The plot is like this:Three students from Reefside high stumble upon dino gems and get special powers that transforms them in the power rangers dino thunder.Along with the help of former power ranger Tommy,they battle the forces of evil lead by Mesogog.Experience one of the best series PR out there.

I live in Japan and my son and I've enjoyed the Japanese version of this (Abaranger) more than any of the others. I can't say how the US analogue will turn out, but the CG and Jap production sequences are the best yet, and that's what kids are watching it for anyway, the fighting and the cool monsters.
