Review of The Transformers: The Movie (1986) by Matm — 05 Mar 2022

I absolutely love "The Transformers: The Movie". The performances are so earnest and they bring in the levity exactly when it is needed and no more. The story becomes this grandiose adventure where there is no way to guess ahead of time where it might be going.

For anyone who spent time with the 1980's cartoon series, this is a must see. For everyone else, you are expected to already understand the characters that were established on the TV show, so I recommend suffering through a couple of episodes first to get the most from the movie, but even without the TV show background, there is a wonderful story and beautiful hand drawn animation to appreciate.

I give it an A, make a point to go see this movie.
