  • “Transformers: Rise of the Beasts” Review

    Transformers: Rise of the Beasts: Directed by Steven Caple Jr.. With Anthony Ramos, Dominique Fishback, Luna Lauren Velez, Dean Scott Vazquez. During the ’90s, a new faction of Transformers – the Maximals – join the Autobots as allies in the battle for Earth.

    I can’t exactly remember why I rewatched this, other than it’s a popcorn movie that I could just turn my brain off and not worry about stressing myself about complicated plots, at least sorta, the time travel stuff is complicated enough for this type of movie. I’m more interested in what they’re doing in the final 5 minutes of the film and as of yet I haven’t heard of any additional movies to fill in the details of what the “Real American Hero” sting is actually going to bring us.

    If the comics are any indication though, it’s going to be all good stuff. There’s been a recent reboot of both the Transformers and GI Joe comics by new creatives and the 5 or 6 months worth of content we’ve gotten so far has been top notch.

    Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

    Transformers: Rise of the Beasts: Directed by Steven Caple Jr.. With Anthony Ramos, Dominique Fishback, Luna Lauren Velez, Dean Scott Vazquez. During the ’90s, a new faction of Transformers – the Maximals – join the Autobots as allies in the battle for Earth.

    There’s been five main title “Transformers” movies and one prequel spinoff titled “Bumblebee” and this is sorta a sequel to the prequel spinoff film and is set in the 90’s, well before the first Michael Bay directed film, which was in 2007. This movie is extremely loosely based on the concept of the “Beast Wars” cartoon that I loved so much back in 1996, but don’t try to compare the two, other than some character names and designs there are no connections at all.

    I have a theory that given a long enough time, all science fiction franchises will inevitably have a time travel element in them and we’ve finally reached that point in the Transformers series. The plot involves Optimus Primal (named after Optimus Prime long after his ‘ultimate sacrifice’) traveling into the past to save a MacGuffin from the evil Unicron, who can’t time travel himself, but he’s given the ability to one of his heralds, “Scourge”, who eventually finds the necessary tools to pull his master into the past to eat the entire universe. There’s a few interesting battles, some funny lines, then the movie wraps up with a tease of some significantly interesting things to come. It’s a pretty standard franchise film without many surprises, but it does all the necessary things well enough that I don’t have any complaints about the final product, and I’ll likely eventually end up buying a copy when it’s released on the digital store fronts.

    Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

    Transformers: The Last Knight

    Transformers: The Last Knight: Directed by Michael Bay. With Mark Wahlberg, Anthony Hopkins, Josh Duhamel, Laura Haddock. A deadly threat from Earth’s history reappears and a hunt for a lost artifact takes place between Autobots and Decepticons, while Optimus Prime encounters his creator in space.

    Arguably the most stupid episode of the franchise, but also arguably the strongest on plot, animation, and drama. Not acting though, oof. It was released back in 2017 and I don’t have the emotional investment to see when/if a sequel is happening, maybe the story elements they were setting up here were forgone for the Prequel/reboot of “Bumblebee” that came out a year later? Who know!

    Also: Who cares! This is a franchise that was built on a shared universe across dozens of animated series, each one picking and choosing which parts of the lore make sense and which they’re going to just ignore. Now that these live action films are making a billion plus per film, we’re never going to see the end of them.

    Maybe one day we’ll get our GI Joe / Transformers live action cross over movie, and it’ll be awesome.

    Transformers: Age of Extinction

    Transformers: Age of Extinction: Directed by Michael Bay. With Mark Wahlberg, Stanley Tucci, Kelsey Grammer, Nicola Peltz. When humanity allies with a bounty hunter in pursuit of Optimus Prime, the Autobots turn to a mechanic and his family for help.

    The fourth of the films, this one is likely the longest, if only because they filmed an entire film’s worth of material in Hong Kong. It’s actually somewhat more enjoyable than the previous film, nearly completely toning down cheeseball dialogue and plot elements, but there were a few times that I distinctly felt like the CGI wasn’t up to snuff, specifically the midwest reunited scene where the autobots all get back together. For every scene like that though there’s 10 of them that are literally the best CGI you could possibly hope for in a 2014 Transformers film.

    Again though, was this film necessary? Meh. Was it somewhat enjoyable? Suer!

  • Transformers The Combiner Wars review

    81Q6FG2OFVL. UR267200 FMJPG Transformers: The Combiner Wars

    The Autobots and Decepticons have disbanded and returned to Cybertron, which is now ruled by a triumvirate. However, an ancient technology has enabled a new threat, the power for multiple Transformers to combine into one massive, dangerous form: Combiners. Who will stand-up to this threat to ensure that the fragile peace that was 4 million years in the making remains?

    I was surprised when I seent this on Amazon Prime, previously this was a G90 only jam, and since they only want people to view G90 content on their phones, I gave up on ever watching anything from the service, including Babylon 5.

    This is CGI stop animation with some pretty fun violence and destruction.  Nothing show stopping, but it was entertaining to see on episode of The Transformers chopped into 10 little bits, given half the frame rate of a normal cartoon,  and then a title sequence, then a credit sequence added.  I think I spent more time watching stuff that wasn’t actual Transformers than I did watching the show itself.

    Not bad, but definitely not good.

    Transformers The Last Knight review

    91QbPA063CL. SL1500 815x1024 Transformers: The Last Knight

    Our world’s greatest hero becomes our fiercest enemy when Optimus Prime launches a mission to save Cybertron by destroying Earth. Now Bumblebee and Cade Yeager (Mark Wahlberg) must lead the Autobots in the ultimate battle to save mankind.

    I was about 10 beers into my night when I decided to watch this, and surprisingly, I think it’s the best of all the live action Transformers movies yet. I know that’s a low bar to reach for, but there was paucity of dick/fart/testicle jokes that the other three films had and the Transformers themselves all seemed to be much less of the confusing jumble of tiny parts that randomly turned into robots from time to time.

    Maybe it was the beer talking, or maybe Sir Anthony Hopkins can elevate anything he’s in, but I’d say this was a pretty good popcorn flick.
