Transformers: O Início

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!

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.

I never expected an animated movie to be this good! I wanted to watch this for the nostalgia and I got it. There were no characters I found annoying or disliked...they were all amazing and fun to watch on the big screen! The plot was incredible and the pacing was just spot on. There was not one second that was wasted and the story moved pretty quickly without sacrificing the necessary character arcs.

I loved Chris Hemsworth's voice acting - who would've thought that Thor would be great as Optimus Prime? And Scarlet Johansson as Elita was fabulous. Jon Hamm certainly fit the role as Sentinel but the scene stealer was definitely Key as B aka Bumblebee!

Definitely worth watching. I miss those Saturday morning cartoon extravaganza and this really reminded me of the good old days back in the 80s.

Transformers One Review by flexarts

Why is it GOOD?

1) After a long wait, there is finally a Transformers film set entirely on Cybertron without any human presence.

2) Even though Peter Cullen's voice is more charismatic, Chris Hemsworth still does an excellent job of portraying young Optimus Prime.

3) The depth given to each of these iconic characters is spot on and executed extremely well.

4) The animation is Fantastic with the G1 character designs given a modern touch. Wait... Say that again?

5) Everything about the sound here is superb, from the incredibly detailed sound design to Brian Tyler's impressive score.

6) Bumblebee sets the mood when it comes to comedy, even his friend STEVE is BETTER than MINECRAFT STEVE.

Why is it BAD?

1] The character development feels rushed, especially D-16's transition into Megatron which is not smooth.

In conclusion: Transformers One has become the best Transformers film so far by offering a more substantive story than the live-action films. 9.1/10 :D.
