With two months and change left til it opens July 4th, reviews for advance screenings of “Transformers” have begun to hit the net. And of course, as it has been for a few years now, AICN was one of the first sites to nab a review. I’m going to skip over the long winded introduction and get to the meaty-gritty: the plot of the film — or what little of it that was given. Here’s how it begins: “It opens with what looks like the surface of a planet, Cybertron, but it doesn’t look anything like the cybertron we know from the cartoons. Its more like a rocky, mountainous wasteland, but alive…if that makes any sense…”
Then we hear a voice and I know this voice, OPTIMUS PRIME- albeit he sounds older and more bassy than he did in the show. It was cullen for sure though. He tells a short back story about the AllSpark Cube and how it was lost during an epic battle and all transformers went searching the galaxy for it. We see the cube floating through space and coming up on earth where it starts a comet like decent through the sky. OP stops talking and the screen goes black and then : TRANSFOMERS logo comes up. That’s the only credits, no laundry list of names that no one cares about, just a logo. Loved it.
The review goes on to describe the characters, some of the action, but is not really full of spoilers, so you shouldn’t be hesitant to read it. Head over there now to find out if the reviewer liked it. He obviously did. I mean, duh, right?
