Transformers One

I went into this film expecting it to be mediocre at best, but my 9 year old loved the previews and asked to go. There was an early screening at our local theater, so we went, and dear lord, this was good. I am not well versed in Transformers lore, nor have I seen most of the films, so I'm not able to speak from a fan's perspective. With that being said, I now feel SUPER motivated to go watch and learn as much as possible about these characters. The main focus of the film on the relationship between Orion Pax and D-16 was an absolute emotional rollercoaster - and the action scenes absolutely had us on the edge of our seats. Every. Single. One. From the initial mining accident, to the race, to the train (and so on, don't want to ruin too much from the final act), each big action event seemed to one-up the last. I had an absolute blast and was not intending to go see this film twice, but I will absolutely be going back once it hits theaters for real.

Transformers one delivers and then some!

As a fan of the transformer story, this film provides a unique tail on the origin of both Megatron and Optimus prime.

It is a brilliant new direction to this franchise! The animation is top-notch, and perfectly fits the style of storytelling. The story of both Megatron and Optimus prime is a lovely one and riveting, and they do justice and telling it in such a great way. Developing the introductions for the characters that we will soon come to love. This is truly a great introductory film that any fan can enjoy!

Overall rating: 7/10 Highly recommended.

Transformers One is the BEST Transformers Movie! High Octane Action, Hilarious, and most importantly emotionally deep with its thematics on friendship + its layers on social hierarchy brings to life some eye opening pieces to the Transformers universe!

It is good. Way different than anything else we've seen on the big screen. I'm going to need to see it a few more times. Very excited to see what direction this takes the franchise in!

The animation is truly epic, with visuals that are more than meets the eye. The star-studded cast knocked it out of the galaxy with all the action, emotion, heart, and humor, making this the Transformers film we have all been waiting for!

This is more than meets the eye!

If you're a fan of the Transformers universe, this is the installment you've been waiting for! This latest addition dives into the intense and captivating backstory of Cybertron. Finally, we get to witness the dramatic events that led to the rivalry between Optimus Prime and Megatron. The storyline fills in the crucial gaps, giving us a deeper understanding of why these two iconic leaders became mortal enemies. With thrilling action, stunning visuals, and a plot that pays homage to the rich history of Cybertron, it's a must-watch for any Transformers enthusiast. Don't miss out-this one's a game changer!

This is 100% the best Transformers movie. It's definitely one of the best of the year as well. For rather simplistic trailers, this movie goes into more of a complexity that is inspiring, and even heartbreaking at times. The bond between Orion and D was sweet, and seeing it fall apart had me on the edge of my seat. My favorite part about the movie has to be that it is a definitive Transformers movie. It's been the Transformers movie fans have been waiting for a long time. It was such a cool experience finally seeing the Transformers lore unfold on the big screen. I'm also quite surprised how funny this franchise can be. Bumblebee, I mean Badassatron, is definitely the best part. I can't wait to see the future of this franchise, and how our two leads unfold into their different characters and to see more of their backgrounds.
