![]() His goal doesn’t quite align with that of the Autobots, which makes his plans clash with those of Optimus’s. As the movie progresses Noah is also made to do and say things we have never seen from a main character in these movies. He is definitely the most flawed human hero from these movies, and as easy as it was to love Hailee Steinfeld’s Charlie in Bumblebee, Noah feels all the more real, even in a movie such as this. He makes mistakes and bad decisions, but they all come from a place of wanting to do good and to help those he loves and cares about. Things don’t come easy for him, even with being a veteran and tech savvy. Noah is likable and most importantly relatable. It is likely due to Ramos being a charming actor who has rarely been given a shot at a lead role. As the main character, he is given the most to do with a decent backstory and motivations. I didn’t even know who was supplying the voice until after the movie, so kudos to Dinklage for getting fully into character.Īnthony Ramos does an wonderful job with what he’s given to do. Dinklage does a good job with Scourge, who is probably the most threatening baddie of this entire series, outdoing even Megatron’s strength and menace. They are loyal only to Unicron and little more than your typical hench-baddies that don’t have much to do outside of the action sequences. These three are known as Terrorcons as they stand apart from any of Cybertron’s usual factions. Scourge (Peter Dinklage) is the leader of Unicron’s minions, rounded out with Battletrap (David Sobolov) and Nightbird (MJ Rodriguez). We get the big bad Unicron in only a few scenes, and as a massive CGI planet-eating monster, it makes sense, I’m sure he was mighty expensive to create. There is a limited cast of robots, and most notably a much smaller group of villains than we typically see in these movies. For taking on a doomsday plot like this, this movie still does its best to keep things small. ![]() The car, of course, turns out to be an Autobot in hiding, and thus Noah gets pulled into the insane plot and battle for Cybertron still raging on. ![]() Having a hard time locking down a job interview, let alone a steady job, Noah takes up a friend’s offer of stealing a car a silver Porsche 911 Carrera RS, to be exact. Noah Diaz (Anthony Ramos) is a veteran who is working various side hustles to help support his mom and his young brother Kris, who has outstanding medical bills from some unknown illness that varies in severity and importance as the movie goes on. Jumping ahead in time to 1994 from the 1987 of the previous film, we are introduced to our human protagonist. For you Marvel Comics heads out there Unicron = Galactus and Scourge = Evil Silver Surfer. The Maximals have the key a small group of them take a starship to Earth, with the key, to protect it, hiding it from Unicron and Scourge. Simply, a giant God-like robotic entity named Unicron that devours planets sends his minion Scourge out to find something called the Transwarp Key, so he can jump through space and time to eat more planets so his tummy doesn’t rumble. We get the info dump of who they are, who the big bad is, and what they have that he wants. Switching things up by having Ron Perlman’s Optimus Primal give us the opening narration, the movie opens up thousands of years in the past with the Maximals, a faction of Transformers, living out their lives on a distant planet, not much different from Earth. Parker would call it for you younger viewers). Transformers: Rise of the Beasts is a blending of the tones we have gotten previously in this series, between its human character-driven narrative and its bigger-than-life set pieces, giant robot fights, and its very typical Macguffin (or ‘goober’ as Peter B. ![]() Picking up seven years after Bumblebee, this second prequel in the Transformers series is looking to stand on its own while also bridging what is an effective standalone movie and the rest of the series to the Michael Bay era, and it is mostly successful in that endeavor.
