Transformers Rise of the Beasts 

 

I am very appreciative that Family Friendly Gaming was given a retail version of Transformers Rise of the Beasts on Blu-ray. The Digital version is also included in this package. It takes one hundred and twenty-seven minutes to watch Transformers Rise of the Beasts. You want to watch the entire movie to catch some interesting scenes at the end. I will not spoil that right now. There will be spoilers in this review though.

Noah and Elena are both from New York City in the 1990s. In the bonus content there are references to the men behind this movie being from that era. They want to represent that time period since that is when they grew up. The music in Transformers Rise of the Beasts also reflects this. I only recognized one song in the entire Transformers Rise of the Beasts movie. I personally prefer the 1980s since it did have better music. Yeah I know that may be an unpopular opinion for some.

The issues families can have with Transformers Rise of the Beasts are violence, bad language, false gods, blood, racism and more. Transformers Rise of the Beasts does two really cool things I heard about from the comic books. Transformers that are killed are repaired and brought back to life. There are different methods this happens though. It is still neat to see.

Unicron wants the transwarp key from the Maximals in Transformers Rise of the Beasts. Scourge leads the Terrorcons for Unicron in Transformers Rise of the Beasts. The thing is Unicron is the size of a planet. Unicron also devours planets. It would be so easy for him to use this transwarp key to get from place to place quickly. The heroes are trying to keep the key out of his hands.

Transformers Rise of the Beasts confuses me in quite a few ways. Previous Transformers movies happen chronologically after Transformers Rise of the Beasts. Yet there are no mention of the Maximals. I am not sure if this is a divergent universe or what. I am still trying to figure out how Transformers Rise of the Beasts fits in with the other live action Transformers movies.

There is plenty of action within Transformers Rise of the Beasts. Two parts of the key get put together and Scourge is bringing in Unicron. The Transformers, Maximals and humans find a way to shut it down and stop the conduit from bringing in Unicron. The ending of Transformers Rise of the Beasts is where things get really interesting. Noah is invited to join G.I. Joe. So G.I. Joe is coming back at some point. It has been long enough since The Rock killed off that franchise. Or maybe just a G.I. Joe Transformers cross over.

I enjoyed watching the Transformers Rise of the Beasts movie. I am very curious to see where this franchise goes in the future. I could have done without some of the Holly hate woke content. I am curious how Scourge got to Earth so quickly for the first part of the key. Was in the neighborhood? There are a few really funny moments within Transformers Rise of the Beasts too.
