VHS Movie Reviews of Dexter's Laboratory - Ego Trip [VHS]

Movie Review: Dexter The Boy Genius.
Summary: 5 Stars

Movie Review: "It's Dexter, Dexter, Dexter and Dexter!"
Summary: 5 Stars

Our story starts with Dexter's archnemesis Mandark attempting to steal his "greatest creation" (no, really), the neurotomic protocore. After a fantastic action scene featuring Dexter fighting off Mandark's laser blasts using only a wrench (his tool of choice and symbolic weapon), Dexter finds himself seemingly under attack by robots sent back in time to "destroy the one who saved the future". Dexter naturally quickly dispatches the invaders using his usually awesome array of gadgetry. But naturally Dexter's curiosity gets the better of him. Just how did he save the future? And from what? Led by a singular desire to see how cool he really is, Dexter heads to the future in his trusty time machine.

And this is where the movie REALLY starts. Dexter first goes to the future (an awesome futuristic city straight of a classic sci-fi flick), only to discover that he's still too far in the past. So then he heads farther into the future, discovering a Utopia world remade in his image (it bears more than a little resemblance to the land of Oz, and everyone wears white lab coats). Again the wrong time, so Dexter heads for the future right in between the two he just visted (and brings along his the two future versions of himself he found the previous two futures). This time the world is post-apocalypic, and Dexter's old Nemesis Mandark is responsible! It's the ultimate showdown as four Dexters (including the super-cool post-apocalypic version which bears more than a little resemblance to a certain Austrian action star) fight to save the future against four Mandarks!

Dexter's Lab is normally billiant, but Ego Trip takes the cake. The usually great art direction is upped a notch, the music is excellent, the jokes hilarious and action perfectly executed. But perhaps most surprising of all is the fact that the plot looks like something straight out of a sci-fi classic (as do all of the locations). Any true fan of Dexter's Lab needs to OWN this movie. ESPECIALLY anyone who loves sci-fi. Great stuff.

Boy, was I wrong!

This is one of the best animated films I've seen in a long time. I'm a big fan of time travel, so I really enjoyed all the temporal hopping; it makes Back to the Future look dull (not that I'm trashing those excellent movies, mind you!). Genndy Tartakovsky surpasses his previous work in the series to create what has to be the pinnacle of the entire "Dexter's Laboratory" series. And the final twist must be seen to be believed.

Overall-- 10 out of 10! Highly recommended!
