Available now on Digital and coming to 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD December 17 is the funny, entertaining, and action-packed – Transformers One. Read on to find out what bonus features await when you roll out with the Autobots.
Transformers One
Directed by Josh Cooley from a screenplay by Andrew Barrer, Gabriel Ferrari, and Eric Pearson, Transformers One is set on the planet Cybertron before the days of the Autobots and Decepticons. Best friends Orion Pax (Chris Hemsworth) and D16 (Bryan Tyree Henry) are miners who dig the depths of the planet looking for energon, a powerful mineral that is in short supply due to Primus (Cyberton's creator) losing the Matrix of Leadership during a long-ago war with the Quintessons. The lack of energon is one of the reasons why half of the robots cannot transform. D and Pax are part of that group that was born without their transformation cogs. Pax is determined to find the Matrix but what he and D soon learn is that there is something far more sinister going on in Iacon City. Together with their friends Elita 1 (Scarlett Johansson) and B-127 (Keegan-Michael Key) the two hope to restore Cybertron to its former glory.
Transformers One is the best Transformers movie yet, as it brings the franchise back to its roots. For millennials and Gen X, it's like Saturday morning cartoon time all over again, albeit with better graphics. It's a deeper look into the transforming robots that have captured our hearts and imaginations for decades. With gorgeously detailed animation and strong vocal performances, Transformers One is funny, action-packed, and a total blast. The filmmakers have created a world with plenty of potential, adding to the lore in a meaningful way. Being that this is the first film intended to kick off a trilogy, I'd say they have more than made a case to justify those plans. To paraphrase Bumblebee, it's bad*ss!
