Editorial Review:
The odyssey of Marcus Rover, badlands scavenger turned Heavy Gear ace, continues in this clanking, clashing collision of Japanese giant-robo fantasies, American extreme sports bouts, and sci-fi platoon drama. The thin story that surrounds the continuing battles between the scheming Northern villains, "The Vanguard of Justice" (hisssssss!), who sabotage, sneak attack, and ambush the heroic Southern squad, "The Shadow Dragons" (yayyyyy!), hints at a far-reaching conspiracy in this second collection of episodes. But that's secondary to the metal-shearing spectacle of giant robots slamming one another around booby-trapped arenas, underground caves, skyscraper-size towers, and even a speeding train. Though originally shown on TV, the series has been rated PG-13 for "pervasive action violence." The mecha-violence is bloodless but almost nonstop at times and puts characters in life-threatening situations, so parents of younger kids should be wary. If the scripts are a drop from Roughnecks: The Starship Troopers Chronicles, the computer animation shows a greater sophistication and slickness. Pick your team and cheer. --Sean Axmaker
In a science fiction universe four thousand years in the future Terra Nova is an Earth-like planet made up of the North and South hemispheres territories that have been in conflict with one another for centuries. Soldiers on both fronts use battle instruments called Heavy Gear - powerful armor of gigantic proportions that combine the maneuverability of heavy infantry and the armament of light tanks - to fight each other. Beneath these conflicts lay rich storylines that tell of love politics and religion.System Requirements:Starring: Greg Ellis Charles Shaughnessy Lukas Haas Clancy Brown Running Time: 98 Min.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Good graphics .. no plot
Heavy Gear is a CGI animated show, derived from a videogame of the same name, about the adventures of young mechanic who gets to realize his dream of becoming a robot warrior.
While the graphics and animation are extremely well done, the show is clearly targeted at a fairly young audience (8-13). Older viewers expecting a show with the sophistication of Starship Troopers will be disappointed. Each episode is more or less a 1/2 hour CGI movie that feels like a video game session (put a bunch ... Read More
Rating:  - A "geartastic" DVD
I loved the CG series and this DVD brings out some great episodes. There aren't to many episode but it's thrilling and action packed. A collectors item for any Heavy Gear fan.
