After its disappointing opening weekend launch, Transformers One director Josh Cooley is now urging fans to watch the movie in theaters on the big screen.
Cooley said in a post he shared on X: “Thank you to all who experienced Transformers One this weekend. Extremely proud of the film and the incredible cast and crew who brought it to life.
“It was made for the big screen so experience it while you still can, and please share with me what you think.”
I was not excited about seeing Transformers One at all and I went into the theaters thinking that it was going to be a huge disappointment. But, I ended up walking out of the theater having enjoyed the movie! It told a surprisingly strong story and I was ultimately happy with how it turned out.
Unfortunately, the marketing team did not do a very good job selling the movie because it seems like they didn’t know their audience. I talked all about that in a previous article I wrote.
I get why people don’t want to watch the movie because the trailers don’t make it look like a good Transformers movie! That’s why I had zero interest in the movie. But, the movie is actually really good! There are a ton of great reviews and those reviews aren’t lying.
This movie 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.”
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.
