Before they became enemies, they were friends in this Transformers Origin story.
“50 Cycles” takes place after the destruction of the surface of Cybertron in a war with the ruthless Quintessons.Deep underground, sentient robots live in the city of Iacon, where a strict caste system prevails. Those with a Transforming Gear have the ability to transform into vehicles and wield weapons. They are the ruling class, while the Gearless robots perform manual labor. Their most important task is to extract energy, which used to flow freely like rivers, but has mysteriously stopped after the Matrix of Leadership was lost in an ancient conflict.
Meet the mischievous mining robot Orion Buck (Chris Hemsworth) and his irritable best friend D-16 (Brian Tyree Henry). Orion constantly gets into trouble because of his strange obsession. He breaks into various restricted archives to learn everything about the Matrix. Sentinel Prime (Jon Hamm), the leader of Cybertron and the last surviving Prime, leads expeditions to the surface to find him. Each robot believes that the Matrix will end their suffering and free the energy stores buried deep within the dangerous caverns.
Elita (Scarlett Johansson), the mining shift leader who Orion and D-16 work on, has had enough of their behavior. She is about to be promoted and transferred out of the mines. Elita won't let her chance be ruined by the slacker robots. Orion fears her wrath but hatches another crazy plan to prove that the simple miners are worthy citizens. D-16 doesn't want to be a part of this plan, but he always supports and protects Orion despite his reluctance.
Shocking facts and important topics about class differences
The first obvious difference from the previous characters is the humanoid facial features. The miners who can't transform don't wear battle masks. This allows the filmmakers to make them more youthful and expressive. Orion, D-16, and Elita look like teenagers. They're also not as large as the super robots. Class differences are physically noticeable and play a large role in the story.You can see and feel their serious expressions. Orion strives to be something more than his allotted place. D-16 thinks he is a dreamer and sets himself up for constant disappointment. To him, the best thing a miner can do is his job. Working hard, meeting quotas, and helping his species thrive collectively.
The philosophical differences between Orion and D-16 become more divisive as the masterfully executed plot deepens.History is written by the victors. Their quest to find the Matrix leads to shocking revelations that reshape everything they've learned. How will you react to having your belief system shattered? To say D-16 doesn't take it well is an understatement. His anger develops into a rage. Orion notices the change but can't help the twist that shatters the bond that has defined them both. There is a fine line between love and hate. The creation of Optimus Prime and Megatron, brothers turned deadly enemies, is the crux of the film and very interesting..
Transformers One balances colors and visually amazes the viewer.
Transformers One Featuring all the old school characters with a smart sense of humor.You'll laugh out loud when B-127 (Keegan-Michael Key), a chatty garbage robot, joins the gang after a series of unfortunate events. Director Josh Cooley, Oscar winner for his role in toy story 4strikes the perfect compromise tone. The film has serious notes but never becomes too bleak or dark.This balance allows the humor to be more effective once D-16's character changes. The screenwriters also throw in a sarcastic jibe along the way at the Transformers trope of the 1980s. Older fans will certainly recognize and enjoy the sarcastic sarcasm.
Transformers One It should be seen in the best possible 3D theater.Ikon City features an amazing production design where buildings and factories are upside down. Imagine if New York City wasn’t flat but circular with trains on moving tracks hurtling through every nook and cranny. The depth perception and visual field are amazing. Then we get completely different environments as the narrative moves to the surface. Cybertron isn’t entirely mechanical or just a rocky mass in space. Kudos to Cooley and his production team for the new settings that are so radically different from the cartoons and previous films.
Chris Hemsworth is not Peter Cullen
Transformers One It succeeds in being accessible to all fans. It achieves the goal by taking a well-known product and repackaging it in a way that makes it Please both hardcore and beginners alike.Cooley respects established traditions but also brings a fresh perspective to beloved characters. My only gripe is that we don’t see the legendary Peter Cullen as the voice of Optimus Prime. Hemsworth works as Orion but doesn’t have the dangerous, commanding baritone voice of the Autobot leader. In that sense, every change here isn’t always for the better, but the movie is an absolute knockout. Stay tuned for the end.
Transformers One It is a co-production between Paramount Animation, Hasbro Entertainment, New Republic Pictures, Di Bonaventura Pictures, and Bayhem Films. The film is scheduled to be released in cinemas on September 20 through Paramount Pictures.
