1. Summary Voltron Force is sort of like a reboot and continuation to the original 80's Voltron but starts off after the lions were decommissioned and it's up to a boy named, Daniel to live out his dream to pilot the Black Lion by entering in the Garrison. 2. Story In my opinion the beginning is terrible until the near end where it is a bit better. However where was this in the beginning to make this series strong throughout the series. After the lions were decommissioned, the paladins went on with their lives and Keith is fugitive but we don't know the reason why he is. It would've been better if they could explain things better like to explain the build up of Daniel's backstory on how he wanted to be a paladin of Voltron and the build up how his character can be stronger in the show so the story could be stronger and memorable as it is today. However, people can just watch the show as a guilty pleasure because they can watch this show for the fights but not the story or characters. 3. Characters The character in the show are stale as bread. All the characters we have to explain to ourselves of their past in one scene and that's it and that's what we got because we have to assume about every characters' backstory and how did they got to the point in the show. I felt nothing for these characters because the original paladins of Voltron as well because the show doesn't go in depth of every character, it assumes that you watched the previous adaptations of Voltron. That's is not good when the main character is pretty much the same as any main character and makes it worst is that I felt nothing for all the characters but only the friendship between each other. That is pretty much that we got throughout the show.Villains - Pretty simple and good villains of the show to show how they are up against with the lead characters. 4. Animation & Sound The animation is not to the standards of other series that blended CGI and animation. The CGI is very noticeable and didn't felt real to the character interacting them and the CGI by itself what is in its own different world. Sometimes when Voltron is formed it is not as bulky as previous adaptations of Voltron but it wasn't that great with the scale at times to the backgrounds but at least the CGI moments matches whenever there is a ro-beasts around. -The voice acting is fine and tolerable because the dialogue is for children and I've seen worst voice acting for this Action Scenes: The weapons while using are very good and I can watch this show just for the action because Voltron and Ro-beasts work fine together because it's CGI against CGI instead of animation used. Also I really do like the weapons that Voltron from every lion's unique ability and I would like if they could come back as later adaptations. Results - I give this result because this show does has the potential but it lack the story and characters to even care about this show. You can just watch this show out of guilty pleasure because of the fights and looking up from your computer and laugh how terrible it is. There is nothing that is given back if it you want to watch this show for the characters, but my opinion those characters can be stale as a loaf of bread and that's basically what you get for this entire series. You can get something good out of that bread but there is nothing to add with.

I'm a 33 year old viewer who grew up on the original Voltron.When I started watching this, I cringed at the horrible opening theme (which I still think needs to go), the new voice actors and the questionable animation style.Then it grew on me -- a lot. The storyline is very faithful to the original, and you can tell the writers have a lot of love and respect for its roots. One of the great aspects of this sequel arc is how it answers all the geeky questions my generation had about Voltron when they were growing up. There was an episode based entirely on the fact that Voltron takes so flippin' long to form. Another one had a semi-psychotic Voltron geek who collected Voltron "toys", which included Sven's (!) original suit. Followed quickly by an episode where Sven himself returns, which has a nod to the original series when Hunk goes, "Who's flyin' blue lion?" If that's not enough, Voltron now has the ability to temporarily switch centers so any of the five lions can form the head (though to be fair, Pidge's green center looks a little ridiculous), complete with their own unique weapons. The eight-year-old in me totally came back to life here.As for the cadets. They grated on me at first, and I'm still not happy about them gradually replacing the original pilots, but their personalities are pretty well developed (especially Daniel's), and there's an actual continuing story arc that leads to a rather...unexpected season 1 conclusion. Definitely darker and deeper than most kids' cartoons.If you grew up watching the series AND you've got an open mind, give this a chance.

while this show does not exactly follow the complete storyline from what was displayed in the prior cartoon series, it does pick up enough of it to give it credence for a good beginning - i thought this show was great! one of the better cartoons i have seen in a while, action packed with a good solid story line!! i only hope they bring it back! i am excited to see more!! while i did not care for the thundercats remake that was released at the same time, this cartoon has staying power due to its orginality and the fact that it fills in a lot of the blanks to questions that arose due from the original series, such as voltron taking so long to form..............great watch-CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MORE-ONLY HOPE I CAN!!

this show went off at a pretty bad start around the beginning first few episodes with it's tone varying based on how the characters act(and not to mention its overdose of cheesiness),I'm not a die-hard-fan(nor a hardcore fan in general) but getting to the point to start this review off note:considering this show is the remake of one of my beloved shows compare and contrast will be involved.story: in this story starts with to cadets ones with a teenager named Daniel and his best Vince,now Daniel who is the man character has long idolized the 5 heroes who piloted 5 robot loins,which could combine to form voltron(a giant humanoid robot) and wishes to become just like of course,then we have his friend Daniel(who would rather be leveling up in a video game then on a battle field) is a technician's export who discovers that he may be the key towards unlocking voltrons new powers, and then raising the number to 3 we have larmina the niece of princess alura of planet arus who happens to be to pilot the blue lion that makes up the left leg of voltron who assures the rest of the voltron team that these 3 cadets were brought here to serve a higher destiny. and it appears that larmina has some sort of connection to voltron.OK now as Daniel narrates...Evil is back. The Drule king Lotor has returned with a dark energy that can destroy the galaxy. Our only hope, the Voltron Force: A team of five heroic pilots that control five awesome robot lions. When Lotor's Robeasts attack, lions come together to form...Voltron, Defender of the Universe.OK to really start things off the back story has changed completely to the point where the it has quit a few inconsistencies compared to the original considering princess alura doesn't have a sibling(larmina of course) although the characters are seven years older than in the original although I don't exactly recall there ages since it's been so long since I,ve seen the original, bringing lotor back in the game was cool though I admit. at first glance it looks as though just anything and every things been happening in fact I don't know even where to began and most of the time I got annoyed enough not to remembered how the show was at the beginnings at least it's better than iron man armored adventures.the animation: the original cast now have different character designs and many of them are pretty good while others....could have been better,visually the characters who all sport a more cartooneish look than the original the environments have some fairly nice overall detail in the show and the animations pretty good however vehicles an robots appear in the 3d including the robot lions themselves are awesome especially when they combine and form voltron,some of parts of the environments are in 3d as well which is great. the action on this show can get pretty crazy wants there's a battle going on. ^_^ the characters: the character development in the show was a little rough around the edges especially with all this cheesy and stereotype behavior matching the character designs although I've seen worse but they got interesting after a while but geeze louise nick must have been either crazy or brave to do this. >_< voice acting: I heard worse and I heard better but otherwise it was okay the bottom line: this show could have been a little better but hey like I said I've seen worse and for this show it could have been worse. I certainly would recommend this show to everyone but I recommend this show to those who are willing to give it a try, this has it where it counts and it's quickly standing out as is own show and lastly it's not staring to far from the originals roots.
