On the run in the year 1987, Bumblebee finds refuge in a junkyard in a small Californian beach town. Charlie (Hailee Steinfeld), on the cusp of turning 18 and trying to find her place in the world, discovers Bumblebee, battle-scarred and broken. When Charlie revives him, she quickly learns this is no ordinary, yellow VW bug.
I swore off on seeing any more Transformers movies in theaters after walking out of the last one. Well this one showed up online so I decided to check it out. It was not great, but it was definitely better than all of the Transformers sequels by far. It wasn't as annoyingly over the top with effects like them and gave you a backstory. The problem was that a lot of the backstory you already knew as the viewer. Like Bumblebee communicating via the radio. Like when that was a revelation it was like um . . . . yeah.
I would sort of recommend this movie but honestly just because it wasn't as bad as the other Transformers sequels. Transformers is still one of my favorite movies ever but its just been so bad every movie since then. This was a welcome much less painful option. But again not great. Just watchable.
