TRANSFORM AND ROLL OUT!

FINALLY, I got to see Transformers One today, and yes, I had a blast watching it! It was such a fun movie, and out of all the Transformers movies I've seen, TFO is easily my favorite!

... Anyone who sees this... Watch Transformers One while you can. It only had a month to premiere in theaters and will be released to Blu-ray on October 22nd. It hasn't even been released in Europe yet, but Paramount is determined to let this masterpiece of a movie flop.

You dont have to be a fan of Transformers to watch it, it is actually a very good introduction to those unfamiliar with its lore. If you are only familiar with the Michael Bay movies, I promise you that there is a beautiful plot alongside awesome fight scenes. To anyone who loves Transformers, Transformers One is a love letter to all the materials that came before while establishing its own identity (TF: Prime influence is heavy and is absolutely wonderful to witness. They even have Steve!). Anyone is welcome to watch and you will have no regrets, I promise you. It tackles dark themes with a grace and maturity I haven't seen from the Transformers movies in a while.

Right now Transformers One is ranked highly by both critics and audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, leaving Joker 2 in the dust despite the vast difference in expectations and budget. Despite the lackluster marketing on Paramount's end, the quality speaks for itself and TFHypeGuy on Twitter is doing the heavy lifting for them. I'd like to see this movie explode in popularity by the time it's short reign ends. Until this week Transformers One was struggling to break even with its $75 million budget, which is a far cry from the projected $200 million budget that would allow it a much needed sequel.

TFHypeGuy has been doing the most to support this movie and promote it while Paramount hems and haws and sabotage the best Transformers movie in decades, and perhaps the best movie of the year. If Paramount is allowed to do this, they will effectively send the message that they don't care about their fans and consumers. They don't care about the people who genuinely love the Transformers franchise, which they own the rights to. And if they erase Transformers One out of existence for a tax break like other great animated media before it... I don't want to even consider it.

Just... watch it. It will be worth it. Watch it with friends, family, or even by yourself. It's good enough to watch again and again and again, like I have and will with friends who I won't be able to see again anytime soon.

Save Transformers One.
