Power Rangers opening day isn’t that far away, and Lionsgate is celebrating the incoming live-action reboot with five new TV spots. While there are still some mysteries to discover, what is readily apparent is that this new version of the team is a far cry from the previous film effort, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie.

In the “Surprise” TV spot, there’s a glimpse of what seems like the first encounter with Rita Repulsa (Elizabeth Banks), as the teens are all in regular clothes. Fans also get a quick glimpse of the Zords in action, but not much else is new in this one. The second TV spot, called “Electrifying”, doesn’t add much new footage either but does show a bit more of Alpha 5 and the Megazord Goldar fight at the end.
The third spot, “Thrilling”, has the newest footage to share, including a closeup of the throwdown between Rita’s forces and the Red Ranger’s Tyrannosaurus Dinozord and the Pink Ranger’s Pterodactyl Dinozord. The fourth spot, “Cool”, gives a bit more footage of the Ranger’s transformation, as well as a new line from Alpha 5. The last spot, aptly titled “oops”, shows that the Zords aren’t exactly easy to control, though to be fair it’s not like they’ve had plenty of time to get used to them. In any case, hope the guy in the film has insurance.
Hit the next slide to view the new TV spots, and you can view the official synopsis below. Power Rangers is currently scoring an 3.59 out of 5 on ComicBook.com’s anticipation rankings.
“Saban’s Power Rangers follows five ordinary high school kids who must become something extraordinary when they learn that their small town of Angel Grove – and the world – is on the verge of being obliterated by an alien threat. Chosen by destiny, our heroes quickly discover that they are the only ones who can save the planet. But to do so they will have to overcome their real-life issues and band together as the Power Rangers before it is too late.”
