Featured reviews
I never expected an animated movie to be this good! I wanted to watch this for the nostalgia and I got it. There were no characters I found annoying or disliked...they were all amazing and fun to watch on the big screen! The plot was incredible and the pacing was just spot on. There was not one second that was wasted and the story moved pretty quickly without sacrificing the necessary character arcs.
I loved Chris Hemsworth's voice acting - who would've thought that Thor would be great as Optimus Prime? And Scarlet Johansson as Elita was fabulous. Jon Hamm certainly fit the role as Sentinel but the scene stealer was definitely Key as B aka Bumblebee!
Definitely worth watching. I miss those Saturday morning cartoon extravaganza and this really reminded me of the good old days back in the 80s.

Transformers One is not a cliché, nor is it a typical story where we see the often shallow battle between good and evil that's prevalent in most films. Here, we finally get a fantastically told story. We are given the chance to see what Optimus and Megatron were like as ordinary robots, exploring what their personalities were like when they were nobodies.
Optimus's noble character is portrayed brilliantly, along with his sacrifice, hope, and longing for something greater. On the other hand, Megatron is depicted as a depressed figure who, after learning the real truth, grows increasingly bitter and filled with hatred as he gains more power. As their power grows, the paths of these two friends diverge further and further. Optimus Prime is rewarded for his nobility, while Megatron is consumed by hatred to the extreme.
The film is very well-written, with no forced humor, and the humor that is present works perfectly. Additionally, the other characters in the film have depth and personality, which makes this animated movie feel much more serious than it might initially seem.
All in all, it's a film that you are guaranteed to enjoy.

The writing is superb! The animation is gorgeous. And the voice acting is top notch.
There are plenty of Easter eggs to appeal to long time fans. There are new story elements that reshape the lore of the Transformers franchise, but it feels organic and more refined than prior origin stories.
A pre-Civil War Cybertron is beautifully rendered. We are introduced to a planet that contains both technological and organic life. You will see familiar faces throughout the movie. Aside from the main characters. The film is great to see.
Kudos to the writing, production, and acting.
I can't wait to see it again!

Transformers One is the BEST Transformers Movie! High Octane Action, Hilarious, and most importantly emotionally deep with its thematics on friendship + its layers on social hierarchy brings to life some eye opening pieces to the Transformers universe!
It is good. Way different than anything else we've seen on the big screen. I'm going to need to see it a few more times. Very excited to see what direction this takes the franchise in!
The animation is truly epic, with visuals that are more than meets the eye. The star-studded cast knocked it out of the galaxy with all the action, emotion, heart, and humor, making this the Transformers film we have all been waiting for!

- TriviaMegatron's original name D-16 is a reference to the Japanese serial number of the original Generation 1 Megatron toy released by the company Takara in 1984. The letter D is short for Destron, the Japanese name of the Decepticons used in older media, while the number 16 denoted the original Megatron toy as the sixteenth release in the Japanese toy line.
- GoofsWhen the Iacon 5000 contestants transform for the race, a purple jet Transformer already has a pair of red light effects floating behind his back, attached to nothing, before he turns into a jet.
- Crazy creditsThere is a mid-credits scene featuring B-127, and a post-credits scene featuring Megatron.
- Alternate versionsSeveral international releases of the film (including the UK) changed any mention of Bee's "knife hands" to refer to them as "sword hands" instead. It's likely that Paramount had changed the film for those territories.
