My review of Transformers the movie
Intro: You know what I’m glad that things played out the way they
did in this movie because this shows that parents are not doing a good job at preparing
their kids to deal with disappointment at the time. If I was a parent at the time this
movie came out, I would use this as a teaching moment.
Transformers the movie: This movie takes place twenty after season two of the series
and the war between Autobots and Decepticons has reached its turning point.
Meanwhile, a creature name Unicron is devaluing everything in his path and he has
his eyes set on Cybertron. So, the Autobots have to put themselves together in
order to stop this new threat.
This is one of the best-animated films of the 80s! Part of
the reason why is because it pushes the boundaries of children’s entertainment.
This is a war story that doesn’t shy away from the fact that people die on both
sides. The movie has humor that helps balance out all the death and destruction
in the film. The animation is a huge improvement over what we get on TV. There
is a scene that will foreshadow what will happen in the end. I like that this
movie introduces us to different transformers because we get more world-building.
The theme of this movie is change, we see how characters deal with change throughout
the movie. This movie deals with the passing of power, betrayal and sacrifice. It’s
hard to comment on the characters because they are the same as they were on the
show. So, I will comment on new characters.
Ultra Magnus is Optimus’s, Right-hand man.
Arcee is motherly.
Kup is an old and cranky veteran who tells old war stories.
Hot Rod goes through a hero’s journey in this movie.
Galvatron (one of the bad guys) is similar to Megatron.
Unicron (the main villain) is a monster in this movie as far
as a force of nature. He also parallels with Galvatron. What bugs me about him
is I don’t know how he connected to the MacGuffin in the movie. Also, he feels forced
into the movie I mean he had no reason to pose a threat to either group so why have him
in the movie?
One of the many problems I have with this movie is it has a
lot of plot holes. The writers could have done a better job of telling the
story they were trying to tell in this movie. (Thankfully Transformers Armada made up for this movie’s shortcomings.) There are too many characters,
some of them are missing from the show and the human characters shouldn’t be in
the movie. Because this movie was made for fans everyone else will feel alienated
and confused. I’m not crazy about how it ended.
Overall, this is an entertaining Transformers film. I would
recommend you check this out If you’re tired of Mr. Bay’s films.
