Paramount Pictures has released two new posters for Transformers One for the IMAX and Dolby theatrical screening formats.
This is a movie that I really want to be excited about, but I’m just not sold on the footage that has been released. The tone, the story, the animation style… it looks like it’ll be an awesome experience for kids who are vaguely familiar with the franchise, but for longtime fans like myself… it looks disappointing. We’ll find out soon enough if this movie is going to deliver the goods or not.
There are critics who have already seen this movie and they’ve loved it! I hope that the movie actually ends up being as good as its hyped up to be!
Transformers One tells the “origin story of how the most iconic characters in the Transformers universe, Orion Pax and D-16, went from brothers-in-arms to become sworn enemies, Optimus Prime and Megatron.”
Director Josh Cooley previously teased that the movie will feature real danger and real stakes. He said that the film “has the epic scale and adventure and action that we know about Transformers films.”
He added: “There’s a lot of danger. There’s some real danger in this film. Yeah. And there’s always that, like we talked about earlier, that ticking time bomb of when’s this relationship going to fall apart between Orion and D-16.”
The film stars Chris Hemsworth as Orion Pax / Optimus Prime, Brian Tyree Henry as D-16 / Megatron, Scarlett Johansson as Elita-1, and Keegan-Michael Key as B-127 / Bumblebee.
Transformers One will hit theaters on September 20th.
