Bumblebee. The movie the people of earth deserved after the abominations that were m bays abominations.
Travis Knight, former Laker and Knick, stripped it back and kept it real. No funky additions, interpretations or sensory overloads. This was a lineal, direct ode to the children of the 80s. Generation 1 where colour ruled, mix tapes, records and ataris.
The opening act was powerful and set the tone I felt for a rock and rolling movie. Cybertron and the origin of war. OP, B, Wheeljack (needed more of the W), soundwave (say that in his voice), shockwave, starscream, arcee, OMG!
Some interesting tid bits
- YOU GOT THE POWER!!!
- atari pong featured
- INXS! AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE!!! Remember in the 80s the only thing Mericans knew about aussie music was inxs? Yeah!
- sneaky nod to the internet (information web)
hailee steinfeld is on the way to becoming a triple threat. She has the singing now acting. Theatre beckons.
Instead of a catalogue of combatants, the movie follows a human (Charlie), Bumblebee, and two decepticons (once voiced by the sassy angela bassett freed from playing the patriarch of Wakanda). Simple. Stripped back. Easy to follow.
Formulaic? Yes probably. Predictable? Yes. Matter? No.
No animals were harmed.
Sets it up for a sequel.
