As for the film itself, Variety’s senior editor Todd Gilchrist called “Transformers One,” “the fun and excitement expected of Hasbro’s metamorphosizing robots, ‘Transformers One’ approaches the well-known characters with a degree of nuance and complexity (as well as violent finality, in a few cases) that marks the most sophisticated onscreen portrait of them to date.”
“Transformers One” is an origin story about how Optimus Prime (voiced by Chris Hemsworth) and Megatron (Brian Tyree Henry) went from best friends to bitter enemies, while the pair try to free their home planet of Cybertron from the nefarious Sentinel Prime (Jon Hamm).
