Transformers One

7.2/10 (Definitely Recommend)

I don't really know the story of the Transformers other than what I've seen in the movies so it took a bit of time for some of the characters to click in such as Bumblebee. Despite super lack of knowledge I was thoroughly entertained and wasn't really sure what would happen next. As things clicked in, I knew what to expect for an ending, but everything in between was a question mark.

The animation is absolutely amazing. It feels very much real, and a bit of an exaggeration, but almost doesn't feel like animation. The cinematography is great. Everything is captured very well especially the battle scenes. In 3D I feel like the film blurs a bit to truly enjoy the view, but the outcome is still enjoyable.

The acting is good, and it kind of kindles some of the vague memories I have about watching "Transformers" as a kid and young teen. No one felt out of place for me, and the emotions behind the voice fell in line with the facial expressions to kindle the emotion needed to tell the story.

Overall, I liked this film so much that I definitely want to go back and watch the live action films again. I always had some enjoyment in them. For this film, while 3D did work and was enjoyable, I think you can find just as much happiness in a regular showing. You also don't need to know the story of the legends. This movie does a good enough job to introduce you to the world, and will actually help understand who is who in other iterations of the franchise.

That's it for now. Thanks for taking time to read my review. Happy watching and enjoy the show!
