Product Description Hot Wheels AcceleRacers Vol. 2: The Speed of Silence (DVD)The drivers enter the Water Realm where former surfer Vert, racing in his own element, is determined to prove that he's still a champion. But after a devastating attack by the Racing Drones, he ends up being the first driver to fail. In the Metro Realm, the drivers have to find their way through an eerie deserted city choked with traffic. The racers are also introduced to a new weapon developed by the Racing Drones: a huge car-eating "Sweeper." We also get a glimpse of the mysterious fourth team, the Silencerz.]]> .com Hot Wheels Acceleracers 2: The Speed of Silence is the follow-up to Hot Wheels Acceleracers: Ignition, in which Dr. Peter Tezla discovered technology that allows super-fast cars to enter "racing realms," i.e., other-dimensional environments where racers can drive along tracks found underwater, in a strange city, and elsewhere. Once again, two teams of human racers, the Teku and Metal Maniacs, launch into these realms, this time competing against one another to see who first reaches the Accele-Charger, which provides unique powers to vehicles. Dr. Tezla wants to unlock the secret of the Accele-Charger's power, in order to stave off the wicked Gelorum and her scary-looking Racing Drones in their quest to rule the world. It helps to know something about the Acceleracers saga before diving into Speed of Silence. But even without a thorough background, it's easy to enjoy the intertwining personal dramas among the Teku and Metal Maniacs, all set against the exotica and suspense of the Racing Realms, where even the bravest of the brave face death-defying race courses, car-eating sharks, and Gelorum's terrifying Drone Sweeper. The animation in Speed of Silence is impressively imaginative yet very precise about the details of Tezla's work, perceptions of the racing realms as seen from multiple angles, and myriad emotions captured on the characters' faces. The cars look great without over-hyping product tie-ins to Hot Wheels toys, and the soundtrack is surprisingly good. --Tom Keogh

My 5-year old LOVES these Movies!!!
He loved World race but the Acceleracers movies are even more exciting to him, he gets so into them I just can't believe how much attention he pays to these movies, he knows every detail! The graphics have changed and the plot and characters have become more complex and even a little dark. I myslef enjoyed it but was a little disappointed in the character Marky Wylde from the World Race, I think they went a little to far with him not just just in physical change but in his whole attitude. It kind of confused my son too but other than that the movies are GREAT!!!

Have seen them a million times now!!
My son has this entire series, and I have to sit through at least one of them every day. He is 5, is enamored with cars, including Hot Wheels, and loves these movies more than anything. They aren't my first choice in viewing as a 30 year old female, but they really aren't too bad, so I don't complain much. In fact - thank God for these movies, it's the only way I get cleaning done at my house!!!!! I hope they come out with more.

Better Than Ignition, And Who (or What) Are The Silencerz?
The story of Vert Wheeler and his racing friends that began in "Hot Wheels World Race" and "Hot Wheels Acceleracers: Ignition" continues here."Vert" Wheeler and the rest of the Teku racing team must work with their rivals the Metal Maniacs to drive in the "Racing Realms", other dimensional race tracks that test a driver's racing skills to their extreme limit. Whoever reaches the finish line of each realm first receives an "Accelercharger", which grants the user's vehicle a special power (frictionless driving, hyperspeed, etc). Scattered throughout the realms are "Hyperpods", which the driver's car can attach to give it special abilities as well.Unfortunately, the evil Gelorum has obtained the Wheel Of Power (see the Hot Wheels World Race DVD) and her robots will stop at nothing to obtain all the Accelerchargers!! If they do, they will be able to take over the world, which is NOT a good thing for us humans!Not only that, but a mysterious THIRD racing team, the Silencerz, have shown up! Who (and what) are they, and are they on the side of good or evil?This episode does a great job of propelling the main storyline, as well as moving along several subplots. It's always fun to watch adventures with the Hot Wheels drivers as they take on Gelorum and her drones on fantastic race tracks.A lot of the reservations I had about the Hot Wheels Acceleracers : Ignition release are not as strong here.- The Teku and Metal Maniacs now appear more as rival racing teams (which they should have been anyway) as opposed to rival street racing gangs.- The physical violence content has been reduced as well. There's nothing on this disc that resembles the opening sequence of the Ignition DVD when Dr Tezla was attacked by the drones.My children enjoy this DVD, and look forward to future Hot Wheels Acceleracers DVDs.The Cartoon Network has already broadcast the third part of the Hot Wheels Accceleracers saga, Breaking Point, and will be airing the fourth episode "Hot Wheels Accceleracers: The Ultimate Race" on October 1st of 2005. If you missed part 3, they usually rebroadcast them the day before the new episode, so look for it on Friday, September 30, 2005.This DVD comes with 6 micro-episodes, that contain racing and plot elements in realms not shown in the main movie (the Cliffside Realm and the Ice Realm).Check out my reviews of the Hot Wheels World Race and Hot Wheels Acceleracers: Ignition DVDs for more information on those titles.
