Bumblebee (大黃蜂) is an 2018 film. The movie stars Hailee Steinfeld and John Cena. The movie is part of the Transformers universe, but takes place in 1987. Which brought back a bunch of nostalgic moments as I grew up in the 1980s.
On Cybertron, the Autobots have lost the advantage and much flee to regroup in order to try to take back the planet from the Decepticons. On of the pods flees to earth but is chased there. Upon entering earth, it causes a bunch of damage and the military forces are there to take it down, but when the two sides of transformers fight, it causes lots of destruction. Bumblebee goes into hiding as a VW bug from the 1970s. When Charlie Watson, played by Hailee Steinfeld, finds it, the adventure begins. First is the bond that they form and the eventual huntdown by the Decepticons. When that happens, the military forces get involved and things get complicated.
This is by far the best of the Transformers movies. I would dare say that it will go down as a classic in the coming years with many even thinking it really is an 80s film. Travis Knight does a great job of taking great elements of the 1980s and incorporating them into a modern 2018 film. A really fun watch.
Hailee Steinfeld started in True Grit (真實的勇氣) years ago as a teenager and has blossomed through the years. I hope Hollywood give her the chances to shine, she deserves it and owns the screen.
I am hoping that this installment makes enough box office monies to continue their new storytelling direction.
