I just got the 20th anniversary edition of Transformers the movie and found something pretty odd. At about 56 minutes into it, there is a scene where Galvatron is trying to get the matrix of leadership from Ultra Magnus. Just as the decepticons are shooting him, the subtitles come on. Just to make sure, I checked that I had the subtitles off. I did. I turned on each language of subtitle and they both worked properly. I turned the subtitles back off. The same thing happened as before. But this time, it was a different language of subtitle. I put in the open matte version and the subtitle issue didn't occur.

Does anyone here have this edition of the Transformers movie and have this problem?

I've watched this DVD a few times and never had this issue.

I have the DVD as well and have never noticed it.

Maybe it's just my player, then. It's not a big deal. Like I said, the open matte version can be zoomed and has better color anyway.

It's almost certainly your player.

Any idea why it's doing it? Like I said, it's not that big of a deal as I can always use the open matte version and zoom it.

I'm watching the movie again right now, on a different player, and the subtitle problem is still there. Though, this time, it started a few minutes later into the movie. I checked and the subtitles are indeed off. Maybe the movie just doesn't like Magnavox players or something. Because this second player is a magnavox like the first player I tried to watch the movie on. I didn't check before, but this time, I've noticed that the subtitles turn back off after a few minutes. Like I said before, I can always watch the full screen version and zoom it since it's open matte.

Only thing I can suggest is to return it for an exchange and see if another copy of it does the same thing.

It's out of print now.

This was a fine, fine, fine, fine film. One of the greatest achievements in all cinema.

Orson Welles went out on top, as the voice of a talking planet--his finest work.
