A refreshingly new breed of Autobot adventure -- one that has been notably souped-up in the brains department.

The screenplay from Eric Pearson, Andrew Barrer and Gabriel Ferrari is wildly ambitious, and includes the kind of next-level detail you wouldn't expect in a Spielbergian epic, let alone an angry android movie.

It's got lots of smashy-bashy action, satisfyingly crunchy silly machine Transformation, it's got a not-so-subtle message about power corrupting, and it's even got a couple of jokes that I actually laughed at.

This isn’t just another explosion-fueled spectacle. No, this is a deep dive into the untold origin story of the two most iconic bots in the Transformers universe: Optimus Prime and Megatron. And let me tell you, it’s wild.
