    "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Trilogy" includes Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990), The Secrete Of The Ooze (1991) and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993). The trilogy brings comc book grit, effects wizardry and pizza-fueled fun, helping turn four sewer-dwelling brothers into global pop-culture icons. Across this original trilogy, these anthropomorphic reptiles with mad martial arts skills battle Shredder and his evil Foot Clan in the sewers, on the streets and rooftops of New York City; square off against a pair of new foes created by the last of the mysterious mutagenic ooze; and travel back in time to feudal Japan to rescue their friend April. Brought to life with advanced animatronic costumes made by Jim Henson's Creature Shop (for I and II). (Gary Reber)

    The 4K Ultra HD debut of the films arrives in new restorations by Arrow Films. The pictures are eye-popping terrific. The sense of depth and perspective throughout is impressive as is resolution. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was shot on 35mm film and the grain structure is visible. The Secret Of The Ooze also was shot on 35mm film and the grain structure is smooth and virtually unnoticeable.

    Reason #129 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I enjoy the in-depth look at industry trends, informative and intelligent articles on emerging technologies, and of course, the new products in the Coming Soon…section. I like the fact that your magazine is not jammed packed with manufacturer’s marketing and sales ads. I understand having some but not as many as your competitor (HTM). I enjoy the movie reviews, which I found to be much more accurate than others (HTM). And lastly, I am a fellow Hungarian like Gary, heck we even share the same fascination for high-tech gadgets. I stopped by the booth at CES, unfortunately I missed him each time. Keep up the good work.
