So I saw that first trailer and wrote the whole movie off.

Months later, amidst the shockingly positive reception, I was curious enough to see it for myself. And damn, it’s actually pretty great and I saw it twice. Being a Transformers fan can be hard with the inconsistent quality, and I’m still surprised they pulled off a great animated movie where the robots were the sole focus. It also had many lore elements I’d long wanted to see on the big screen, which I won’t spoil.

I think casual and longtime fans alike would enjoy it. Given the current underperformance, I’m not holding out for a sequel, but I’m damn pleased we got this one at all. I’ll forever be grateful to the cast and crew for bringing Orion Pax and D-16 into theaters.

I'm a huge fan of the original movie, and went in skeptical as heck, but coming out, i thought they did a fantastic job with the motivation of the 2 mains and got goosebumps during the reveal. A bit kiddy in some parts, but all in all a good watch. Well done to the studio. Only later found out some avengers were in the cast too!

Yeah, I’m very impressed. Which original movie btw, 84 or 07? I’ve heard both referred to as the first

'84. There were NO other movies!
