Storyline
On Cybertron, the Autobots, led by Optimus Prime, are on the verge of losing the Great Cybertronian War to their enemies, the Decepticons, and begin making preparations to leave the planet. The Decepticons led by Shockwave, Soundwave and Starscream ambush them during the evacuation, and Optimus sends a young scout, B-127, to Earth in order to set up a base of operations where the Autobots can regroup.

It is a fun teen adventure movie. Just what the doctor ordered for this time of year. Not only was it set in the 80's but the tone of the movie was a throwback to films of the era. There were bits of E.T. - The Extra Terrestrial, The Goonies, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The Navigator, heck I'll even throw in Mannequin, The Karate Kid, in fact EVERY teen movie made in the 80's. It just had that vibe. The lead actress has definitely got the chops for this part and Bumblebee was great as well. I can't imagine the effort that went into building such a talented robot actor. A.I. has advanced so much these days. And it transformed into a car on several occasions as well! Very cool. ; ) All top notch blockbuster effects and camera work. John Cena was reigned in a bit but it was definitely a teen's show so I shouldn't have expected the type of gags he's done in previous films. The younger boys in the cinema were restless toward the end judging by the few laps they did of the central seating area. Reminded me of the 80's when being part of a cinema audience was a very dynamic thing. I thought it was fun but wondered if the bountiful action in the film got them riled up but they perhaps didn't feel vested in the main character enough to be glued to the screen. Can't say for sure of course. I digress. Hayley Steinfeld does her green screen acting with the enthusiasm of someone with a great imagination and this means so much to make a SFX film work. It is the enthusiasm that I remember from the original Star Wars trilogy from new actors Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher. Since those films far too many actors have been too cool for school to ham it up for the green screen, ball-on-a-stick, or dorky looking actor in a motion-capture suit. Well done. It's not a kids' franchise made into a movie for adults, thankfully. It's a movie about robots that turn into cars and/or jets, and panthers and/or ... giant ... cassette tapes ... . The point is that you're not meant to think about that stuff too much! The audience is there for the fun, the escapism, and a reflection on personal growth. These are some of the things that cinema is designed to provide. Mission accomplished here.
