After three theatrical films and a short-lived television series, a miniseries of new “Robocop” adventures were produced. The adventures stand alone, but collectively hold together as a larger story as well. Under the blanket title “Robocop: Prime Directives” the series premiered in the United States on the Sci-Fi Channel a few years ago. I suppose they might have had theatrical or straight to video releases abroad, but regardless of how they have been viewed, the “Prime Directives” storyline was better than any of the sequels that premiered theatrically though nothing can compare to the original feature film.

Ten years have past since the events of the first “Robocop” film. “Murphy” is still unappreciated by some of his fellow cops as well as the scheming OCP executives always looking to profit through some technological terror, but this time OCP is in danger of going bust so a group of OCP executives who refer to themselves as “The Trust” will stop at nothing to push their agenda forward. As Murphy closes in on his new enemies that have cropped up in Delta City, he discovers that his son is a part of “The Trust” and is unaware that his father and Robocop are one and the same. Can Robocop stop crime and pull his son out of corruption’s grip and should he let his son know that his father is still alive?

Lions Gate Home Entertainment is distributing “Robocop: Prime Directives: Dark Justice” on DVD and presents the “Dark Justice” episode in a 16 by 9 widescreen (1.78:1) aspect ratio. The picture quality is quite good with little to no noticeable artifacts. A digital quality English Stereo Soundtrack is included and English Captions and Closed Captions for the hearing impaired and Spanish Language Subtitles are also provided as options. A (1.33:1) home video trailer (1:24) for the four episodes that make up the “Robocop: Prime Directives” miniseries is included too. The menus are fully animated to represent the “Media Net” segments seen in the film and feature full motion scene selections and all of the interactive DVD menus are easy to navigate.

The next episode to be released to DVD from Lions Gate Home Entertainment, if it is not already available, should be “Robocop: Prime Directives: Meltdown.” “Robocop: Prime Directives: Dark Justice” is available on DVD-Video now from Lions Gate Home Entertainment.
