DVD Review - Power Rangers Dino Charge: The Complete Season

Not Rated; 8 hours; $19.98; Amazon

Arriving on DVD today from Lionsgate Home Entertainment is Saban's Power Rangers Dino Charge: The Complete Season, featuring all 20 episodes and 2 holiday specials on a five-disc set. There are no special features or extras.

Power Rangers Dino Charge is the twenty-second season of the popular franchise. The season originally debuted on Nickelodeon in February 2016; introducing a new group of Power Rangers - Tyler Navarro, the Red Ranger (played by Brennan Mejia), Chase Randall, the Black Ranger (played by James Davies), Shelby Watkins, the Pink Ranger (played by Camille Hyde), Koda, the Blue Ranger (played by Yoshi Sudarso), and Riley Griffin, the Green Ranger (played by Michael Taber).

Together, along with their mentors, archaeologist Kendall Morgan (played by Claire Blackwelde) and the alien "Keeper" (voiced by Richard Simpson), the Power Ranger must battle the evil Sledge, an intergalactic bounty hunter, and his army of minions and monsters. They must find a way to retrieve all the Energems that were scattered across Earth 65,000,000 years ago, before Sledge gets his hands on them.

In the latter half of the season, two more Rangers were introduced - Sir Ivan of Zandar, the Gold Ranger (played by Davi Santo), and Prince Philip III, the Graphite Ranger (played by Jarred Blakiston) to the team. Later, Kendall bonds with the purple Energem and becomes the Purple Ranger.

Final Thoughts:  Power Rangers fans have a lot to look forward to this year with the recent debut of the newest series Power Rangers Ninja Steel and next month's big budget reboot in theaters. Now fans, young and old, can enjoy rewatching the first season of Power Rangers Dino Charge on DVD.

Yes, Lionsgate Home Entertainment has already released the entire series in five individual DVD releases. The five discs in this set happens to be the same volumes - Unleashed, Resurgence, Breakout, Rise, and Hero. There are no special features or extras of any kind on the discs. However, the set does include both the Halloween Special, "The Ghostest with the Mostest," and the Christmas Special "Race to Rescue Christmas."

Overall, the Power Rangers Dino Charge: The Complete Season features 22 action-packed episodes from one of the better recent seasons from the franchise. If you already own the individual seasons, then there's no reason to buy the set. However, if you don't own any of the other releases, then I would recommend getting the "The Complete Season Set," which the retail price is less than $20; cheaper than purchasing all the individual DVDs.
