Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie has come to Blu-ray for the first time ever as a stand-alone edition from Shout! Factory.

By the time the film came out, some of the original stars had already left the TV series.  The film hit a historic note in that it was the first to not recycle footage from the series that inspired it.  While I would certainly like to say that this film has held up, time has not particularly been kind.  It’s especially noticeable when one takes the special effects into consideration.  But given the era in which it came out, this can be forgiven,  The 25th anniversary of the film is just another year away.

Synopsis:

Power up with six incredible teens who out-maneuver and defeat evil everywhere as the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers! But this time, the Power Rangers may have met their match when they face off with the most sinister monster the galaxy has ever seen – Ivan Ooze.  Unleashed upon the good citizens of Angel Grove after six thousand years of imprisonment, Ivan Ooze strips the Power Rangers of their powers! Now they must journey to a distant planet to learn the secrets of the ancient Ninjetti. Only then will they become empowered with strength enough to restore their Morphin ability and defeat the evil Ivan Ooze. Join the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and their new Ninja Megazord as they fight to save Angel Grove and the world from evil!
