Transformers One
Directed by Josh Cooley- Varun1 November 2024How are people not talking enough about this movie? It’s freaking EPIC. The animation completely rules, so many cool scenes and the camera angles during the action scenes are dynamic and awesome. The characters are really well written, with Orion and D-16’s friendship being the best central focus of the film. The soundtrack is killing it. The pacing is perfect. The humour is fun. The designs and transformations of some of the characters were pretty cool. I really liked the depictions of both Iacon and the outer world. I think it also has a nice critique on how myths can shape people’s lives. I’ve only seen all the live action movies, haven’t watched the animated show so I’ve never been steeped in the lore of this franchise and I’m not particularly a big fan or anything, but this movie was exciting af and I badly want a sequel. I wish I had watched this in theatres in 3D. The story is a bit formulaic and I saw the plot twist coming from the very start although I think it’s meant to be obvious, but there’s real stakes in this film and the gravity of many situations especially early on in the story hit hard. It’s not perfect but I’m giving a 10 based on how much earnestness, energy, enjoyment and epicness this movie is packed with.
- thereelvoice30 April 2025Transformers One is a surprisingly well crafted story that dives into the origins of a friendship gone awry. A young Orion Pax (Optimus Prime) and D-16 (Megatron) are miners on their home world. Through ambition and a bit of luck the two discover secrets that will change the fate of Cybertron forever. Their ideas of what this means for the fate of their kind will also change the meaning of the relationship. This is a story of friends bonded like brothers before they became bitter rivals. Transformers One is a compelling film that will more than likely leave you feeling a bit nostalgic.
- Zokkiie1 March 2026Surprisingly good for a Transformers origin story. The film makes the rivalry between Orion Pax and D‑16 feel real, and the animation brings the robots to life better than ever. The world feels alive, the characters have charm, and the action is exciting without being chaotic. It’s light in spots, but overall a fun, character-driven ride that finally does justice to the franchise.
