After the original orgasmatron, we find ourselves back at the very start of the transformer's history with all of the "Prime" contraptions having been destroyed in a war and now only "Sentinel Prime" exists to lead the bots in a self-perpetuating existence of mining for the fuel that allows them to continue to mine for the fuel. You get the drift. Many of the robots don't have the cogs in their chests necessary to do any transforming, and that includes the lively "Orion Pax", his pal "D-16" and their feisty supervisor "Elita-1", but when a series of incidents occur that sees them escape from their mine onto the forbidden surface they discover an whole new truth that questions not just the history that's been drummed into them, but the very integrity of their leadership. Thing is, can they do anything to thwart a dastardly plan the could ensure the bots stay slaves for ever? As origin stories go, this is one of the better ones. Plenty of action throughout sets a story that doesn't rely (too heavily) on your knowledge of the Hasbro universe, it just allows you to root for the good guys as they battle the menacing and overwhelming forces lined up against them to ensure the new status quo endures and the dead stay exactly that. The story deals with the usual aspects of brotherhood, loyalty, ambition and though there's little actual jeopardy throughout - and, less face it, it's part of an ongoing franchise that's going to run, and run, and run - there's plenty to enjoy as it sets the scene for what's to come. It probably does need a cinema screening to get the best from the grand scale animation and visual effects, and the story and characterisations are not half bad, either.

Transformers One is an animated origin story that offers a fresh take on the beloved franchise. My experience watching it was quite enjoyable, as the film combines stunning visuals with a heartfelt narrative that resonates with both new and longtime fans. The voice acting is exceptional, bringing depth to characters like Optimus Prime and Megatron. The animation is visually striking, enhancing the action sequences while also allowing for moments of genuine emotional connection. I appreciated how the film explores themes of loyalty, leadership, and compassion, which adds layers to the story beyond just robot battles. However, while the film is accessible and entertaining, I found that it might not satisfy hardcore fans seeking a deeper lore or complexity. The plot is straightforward, with the Matrix of Leadership serving as a central McGuffin, which may feel simplistic for some viewers. Overall, Transformers One successfully blends action and emotion, making it a must-see for those looking for an engaging family film. It left me feeling optimistic about the future of the franchise, appealing to both a new generation and nostalgic fans alike. If you liked my experience, then check out the Latest Movie Reviews.
