a5c7b9f00b The Autobots must stop a colossal planet consuming robot who goes after the Autobot Matrix of Leadership. At the same time, they must defend themselves against an all-out attack from the Decepticons. This theatrical movie based on the television series (which was also based on a popular multiform robot toyline) did not go over very well at the box office. The movie takes place in 2005, twenty years after the television series, and chronicles the efforts of the heroic Autobots to defend their homeworld Cybertron from the evil Decepticons. Both factions are seething with anger, and that hatred has blinded them to a hideous menace headed their way. That hideous menace is the colossal planet knownUnicron, who has been ready to consume anything that stands in its way. The only thing that can stop Unicron is the Autobot Matrix of Leadership, which is possessed by the Autobots and which the Decepticons, through Unicron&#39;s orders, plan to take away from them. I&#39;ve got 1000 words to say that something changed my life forever. About 15 years ago that something was the Universe of the Transformers. I&#39;m 20 now and still remember it like yesterday. Rambling off the theme song or just telling younger kids that there were Transformer befoer Beast Wars: Transformers. As for the movie. I had an orginal metal Optimus Prime. He was a hero. Espeically when the line came out &quot;One shall stand, one shall fall.&quot; it cemented the Transformers firmly into my mind. This movie had some of the 80&#39;s upbeat rock of that time. Plus a guy now known nationally for recording his first record in a bathroom &quot;Weird Al&quot; Yankovic with his &quot;Dare to be Stupid&quot; song. I&#39;ve got recommend this movie for mabe older children because of the violents in it butfor adventure and action it&#39;s great. They could have cut and pasted this thing togeather on plain paper. Then fan it on a projector made of Duct tape and tooth picks. This is an underground classic. But for the ture fans like I it will alway be close to my heart weather it&#39;s on tape or gets updated with the times and comes to DVD. Only wishful thinking, mabe it could happen. Oh, well. I hope others feel the same I do. &quot;You&#39;ve got the touch, You&#39;ve got the POWER&quot;-The Touch–Stan Bush. I was enticed into watching Transformers: The Movie after watching an episode of the surprisingly funny The Goldbergs, currently airing for the first time in the UK. In the episode, the physically underdeveloped nerd of the family watches in awethe movie version of his favourite weekend cartoon plays out across the cinema screen. His face soon turns to sheer horror when his beloved heroes are routinely blown away by the evil Decepticons, and I was immediately transported back in time. Not only does the bespectacled Adam Goldberg (played by Sean Giambrone) remind me of my older brother, but I instantly recalled my own horror at seeing the likes of Ratchet, Ironhide and Prowl being casually blown to pieces.<br/><br/>Your enjoyment of Transformers: The Movie really depends on whether you roll your eyes or clap your hands like a child at the sound of un-ironic 80&#39;s cheese blaring over sketchy animation of giant robots. No will claim that this is a work of high art or even narratively consistent, but if you&#39;re even remotely invested in the ensemble of Autobots, the ensuing blood-bath (oil-bath?) will still no doubt be shocking. Characters are dismembered, decapitated and shot execution-style. Casual viewers or newcomers may have trouble distinguishing one Transformer from the next (something that the live-action Michael Bay movies struggle with), but the relentless carnage at least makes for a refreshing experience to the usual child-friendly fare.<br/><br/>It also has Unicron, the big bad guy who is so huge he transforms into a planet. Voiced by Orson Welles in one of his last feature films, his operatic, ham-fisted growl combined with that opening tune still has the ability to give me chills. While Unicron commits planetary genocide in the opening moments, Optimus Prime (Peter Cullen) plans an all- out assault on the Decepticons. Prime&#39;s opposite number Megatron (Frank Welker) hears of the plans and attacks first, leaving the Autobots scattered and on the defensive. Following an attack on Autobot City, the Autbots flee with Megatron wounded and blasted into outer space. But Unicron wants the Matrix, a talisman of great power currently in the hands of Autobot Ultra Magnus (Robert Stack), and so re-creates MegatronGalvatron (Leonard Nimoy) to recover it.<br/><br/>The narrative consists of little more than one action scene after the next, full of explosions, gun-play, and fan-favourites the Dinobots cracking-wise. While these moments are generally entertaining and lovingly realised, they soon become quite tiresome. When good guy Hot Rod (Judd Nelson) lands on planet Junk and is attacked by the motorcycle-riding natives led by Wreck-Gar (Eric Idle), I just longed for some of them to sit down and have a conversation. This leads to a disappointingly underwhelming climaxHot Rod, Galvatron and Unicron finally face-off. The animation is rather jittery but incredibly stylish, in a style seemingly lost with modern-day cartoons. I may be nit-picking, but it&#39;s only because I believe that Transformers: The Movie deserves to be taken seriously, and although it&#39;s far from perfect, it will always retain a place in the hearts of us children of the 80&#39;s.
