The only film I watched yesterday and, for its faults, was pretty uplifting.
On what was a pretty dismal day compared to normal years, I guess a story about friendship, loss, and triumph over depression was just what I needed to be left with some positive vibes.
That and a decent splashing of robot on robot violence!
The Bay films always felt pretty empty - a vague non-plot just to have an excuse for the fight scenes, but Travis Knight got a far better feel to this one, I think.
It was a very pleasant surprise after the drudgery of the Bay films. Which just got steadily worse and worse. O didn’t watch another one after the one where Optimus was riding a dinosaur robot, because, reasons.
