Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Underneath its super-glossy facade of fast & flashy cars, fiery explosions, head-on collisions and rainbow-colored, CG animation, Speed Of Silence (SOS, for short) turned out to be one of the most petty, nasty and annoying stories about team player in-fighting that I've had the displeasure of watching in a mighty long time.I couldn't believe what a bunch of mean, sniveling sucks these supposedly "macho-men" Metal Maniacs turned out to be. With all of that steroid-induced muscle (and no brains), it really killed me to watch these guys strut around. I swear that each one of them moved as if he had a full load of fresh crap in his pants. It was hilarious to see.And besides that - Every single character in this decidedly confused tale about winning a race at all costs and proving one's masculinity, was such an irksome stereotype that it was downright sickening. And the dialog was so clichéd that it got on my nerves, like you wouldn't believe.I found SOS to be a perfect example of completely irresponsible movie-making that actually encourages youngsters (clearly its intended audience) to believe that having a sneering, belligerent "attitude" was cool and being a "badass" was more important than giving a damn about your fellow man.

... and my three year old son LOVES toy cars. Cars the movie, and Hot Wheels.This film doesn't make a whole load of sense viewed in isolation as it is midway through a five part series, but the plot doesn't really matter when you are only three.(If you must know though Dr Tesla has assembled a bunch of racers from rival street racer gangs to race against the drones to gain the Wheel of Power and save the world.. or something...) The graphics are not too bad for a computer animation. The cars are well crafted and the physics are about right for toy cars. The 'drones' make quiet good baddies, I suspect they are influenced by the Borg in Star Trek though.The final race in the city 'world' is good, and that's what this film is all about, don't worry too much about the hokey plot, just enjoy the racing of Team Teku and the Metal Maniacs against the baddie drones.It ends abruptly though. I suppose I'll need to buy the boy the next in the series to see what happens next.
