We’ve now reached the point in the “Transformers” franchise where Anthony Hopkins is dropping by to give the expository dialogue and Josh Duhamel has returned to the series. But if one thing remains the same, it’s Michael Bay’s non-stop assault of CGI.
The new movie plays like one of those History Channel shows where megadorks pontificate about aliens building the Pyramids and revolves around the secret history of Transformers on Earth. This knowledge will be vital in saving the planet once again from the Decepticons. Here’s the official synopsis:
The Last Knight shatters the core myths of the Transformers franchise, and redefines what it means to be a hero. Humans and Transformers are at war, Optimus Prime is gone. The key to saving our future lies buried in the secrets of the past, in the hidden history of Transformers on Earth. Saving our world falls upon the shoulders of an unlikely alliance: Cade Yeager; Bumblebee; an English Lord; and an Oxford Professor.
There comes a moment in everyone’s life when we are called upon to make a difference. In Transformers: The Last Knight, the hunted will become heroes. Heroes will become villains. Only one world will survive: theirs, or ours.
Led by Mark Wahlberg, with supporting turns from Laura Haddock, Isabella Moner, Stanley Tucci, and John Turturro, “Transformers: The Last Knight” opens on June 21st.
