Fighting robots are back, but does anyone really care?
, directed by LAIKA animation honcho Travis Knight, felt like a necessary reset — a modest, almost sentimental little movie about a teenage girl and her car that just happened to have some fighting robots in it.had heart, but you also found yourself missing some of that earlier Bayhem, despite how noxious it had all become by the end. These are, after all, ancient aliens made of steel and oil who transform into cars and trucks and planes and make grandiose, almost Shakespearean declarations.
Our human heroes this time are Noah Diaz , a young veteran who keeps getting turned away from job opportunities, and Elena Wallace , an intern at an Ellis Island natural history museum. The desperate Noah agrees to help lift some cars, and winds up accidentally stealing Mirage, a mouthy Autobot Transformer posing as a Porsche.
Unicron, the Transformers’ “vile god” that likes to consume entire planets, wants the Transwarp key so that he can come and eat Earth. “An abundance of life…savory!” exclaims his chief emissary, the murderous Scourge , who will do anything to get the key for his master. The Autobots, led by Optimus Prime , want the Transwarp so that they can go back and save their own world of Cybertron. Because the year is 1994 , Optimus isn’t yet the noble leader he’s supposed to be.
