It's a serviceable blockbuster, but familiarity in nearly every aspect muddles an obvious attempt to revive a franchise that might be better dormant.
Two unsuspecting humans find themselves on a globe-trotting journey in search of a very special object that could save humanity and Transformers from the brink of destruction. I could be describing any of the previously released live-action Transformers movies , but the latest, Rise of the Beasts, falls into the same plot trappings, so there's really no difference.
If that plot description sounds familiar, that's because it is. For all the talk of sparks, interdimensional portals, and beautifully shot locales, Rise of the Beasts' plot is so paint-by-the-numbers it's a painful reminder of where we're at in the current IP-laden blockbuster landscape. This story has played out numerous times in thousands of multiplexes over the last decade and a half.
The only new characters that stand out are Noah and Elena. The pair is reminiscent of Shia LaBeouf's Sam Witwicky, a character that made Michael Bay's first Transformers film such a delight. I was reminded of this joy when watching Ramos and Fishback navigate their newfound positions as Earth's saviors. Even as they talked about "transwarp keys" and "Earth sparks," it was hard not to be enthralled by the pair giving it their all.
