Enthusiastic TRANSFORMERS ONE Reactions Say It's the "Best Transformers Film to Date"

Paramount Pictures recently held a fan screening of the upcoming animated film Transformers One, and some critics were there in attendance to watch it.

I have to say, I was not a big fan of the trailer that was released for the film and I just thought it was going to be a silly comedic adventure film for the kids to enjoy. It didn’t look like something that I, a lifetime Transformers fan, would like.

Well, the first reactions to the film have surfaced, some of them come from longtime fans of Transformers, and they loved it! I honestly did not expect this kind of reaction, as the positivity is so over the top!

They are saying that Transformers One is the best Transformers film to date! I’m seriously shocked by some of these reactions, but some of them come from people I know and trust, so maybe this movie is actually going to end up being a great film!

I would love nothing more than for that to be the case1 I would love it if this movie proved me wrong and actually delivered an incredibly awesome Transformers flick that longtime fans will enjoy. I guess we’ll find out for ourselves soon enough.

Check out the reactions below and let us know what you think!

Wow. #TransformersOne is FREAKING AWESOME.

Totally honors the legacy of the franchise while also expanding and elevating it. A powerful story of friendship gone wrong with Easter Eggs galore.

This Transformers fan is very very happy. pic.twitter.com/z4QwfvV2fA

I almost cannot believe I’m saying this, but TRANSFORMERS ONE is by far and away the best Transformers film to date. The trailers don’t do this justice. Rich in character & emotion with a deep reverence for the lore, it tells the origins of Optimus Prime and Megatron, tragically… pic.twitter.com/XjtH4EjkKL

Paramount showing #TransformersOne screenings TWO MONTHS early is a massive vote of confidence and damn it is it justified. Engaging story, stunning visuals, legit laughs, AND some tear-jerking gravity? Come on. The best Transformers theatrical experience I’ve had. Massive W. pic.twitter.com/GJfc3kzI0I

Got another winner for you — #TransformersOne. Big fan of the animation style used for this one. Great balance of CG vibrancy with texture and detail. I especially kept getting hooked on shots of the characters aboveground with those stunning landscape backgrounds.

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.

The film is being directed by Josh Cooley (Toy Story 4) from a script he wrote with Andrew Barrer and Gabriel Ferrari.

Producer Lorenzo Di Bonaventura previously said: "This is … the origin story of young Megatron and young Optimus. If you know the origin, they started as friends, and over time things devolved for them and they ended up on two sides.

“So we're telling the young Optimus and the young Megatron story. We really are telling the origin story of all Transformers, both what they were at the beginning of it, to how they grow, to how they grow apart."

This will be the first of what Di Bonaventura calls a "natural trilogy,” and it’s going to explore “Cybertron in a way you've never seen it, that no one's ever seen it before.”

The movie will be released on September 20th, 2024.
