Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

If anyone's going to this to finally see Unicron..you're gonna be pretty disappointed. I'd guestimate that in the entirety of the movie Unicron has maybe 2 minutes of screen time tops? The whole gimmick behind this is Unicron is stuck in a dead galaxy after having consumed so many planets, but there is a "transwarp key" (which becomes the maguffin for the movie) that Unicron has his stooges out hunting for so he can get to other galaxies and consume their planets. It reminds me a lot of dark of the moon where we had the spacebridge pillars that pull cybertron into orbit then when they get deactivated it gets pushed back. Same gimmick here essentially.

Prime in this is very distrusting of humans which changes as the movie goes on, unusual to see him without a robo-boner for humans for once.

But Unicron basically does a big zero in terms of Unicron stuff like planet munching unless I missed something, you don't see it consume anything, you see it hovering at the edge of the maximals planet as in the trailer, then you see it start to come close to earth only to get pushed back at the end. But they basically say Unicron is still out there and prime and his team will destroy him if he returns, and we round the movie off with Optimus giving his standard self masturbatory speech.

Mirage had a few good one liners that got some laughs

Overall wasn't bad, just nothing really new.
Lol was your review from someone else?
 
i saw it yesterday thought it was good, timeline wise it base after the event of bumblebee as there was a small reference to it.

there look to be a setup for a new gi joe movie with possible tie in to transformers, as when he turn over the business card at the end of the film there the gi joe logo showing
 
Oops meant was that yours or someone else's.

Mine, watched it last night. That's after I entered the wrong screen and wondered why they were playing the trailer for transformers before the movie. Then seen the spider verse title appear and hastily exited to the proper screen where it had yet to start.
 
Thought it was brilliant, best film at Cinema in the last 12 months for me.

Prob last equivalent was TG Maverick.

More entertaining and enjoyable than Fast X / JW4 / Guardians of Galaxy 3 etc.

Lightyears ahead of a lot of recent Marvel offerings.

It's far from perfect but context is everything and in the last couple of years of cinema, I'm actually looking forward to watching it again rather than the typical happy to forget or wait for it to be streamed.

Now watch Spiderman :cool:
 
Walked in with no expectation and walked out with a massive grin. Absolutely loved it. If your a transformer fan your going to love it. 8/10 for me.

Make sure you watch mid credit scene.

It wasn't bad but wasn't great either, you get what you expect but after Bumblebee thought they would be moving the franchise in a different way.


Wasn't a fan of how only Bee could come back and they left Airazor dead.
