Transformers: The Last Knight is a Fun, Visually Stunning Summer Epic

Published

on

Everyone’s favorite Autobots are back in Michael Bay’s latest action packed outing, Transformers: The Last Knight. Based upon the 1980s animated series and popular Hasbro toy line, The Last Knight is the fifth installment in the Transformers film franchise. SPOILERS AHEAD!

Picking up mere months after the previous film, Autobot leader Optimus Prime (Peter Cullen) arrives on the desolate remnants of the Transformers’ home world, Cybertron. There he meets Quintessa, the creator of all Transformers both Autobot and Decepticon. Quintessa, a sworn enemy of the astral being Unicron, wishes to destroy planet Earth for housing her foe in its core. To complete this task, she brainwashes Optimus into carrying out her wishes, re-naming him Nemesis Prime.

Meanwhile, on Earth, mechanic Cade Yeager (Mark Wahlberg) is still on the run from the Government after the events of the previous film. After being given an ancient talisman from a Cybertronian Knight, Cade, Bumblebee and the others seek answers from Sir Edmund Burton (Sir Anthony Hopkins), the last of the Witwiccan Society.

Now, if none of that summary made sense, it’s safe to say that Transformers: The Last Knight may not be for everyone. It is very much a franchise piece that must be seen in conjunction with the other four films in the franchise and will probably do very little to entertain the unconverted. However, for those who are fans of franchise, this film is the perfect summer treat.

If one thing is made abundantly clear in this film is that Michael Bay certainly knows how to direct an action movie. The film clocks in at two hours and twenty-nine minutes and is jam packed with high speed car chases, explosions, and of course giant robot fights.

The performances in the film are quite stellar, with Sir Anthony Hopkins and young Isabela Moner being the standouts. Mark Wahlberg’s character Cade is also much more developed in this film, as we see the character’s daily struggle to live life as a fugitive, distanced from his daughter.

All in all, Transformers: The Last Knight is an action packed summer thrill ride that should be seen on the biggest screen possible, especially being that 90% of it was filmed in IMAX 3D.

Transformers: The Last Knight is currently playing in theaters everywhere.

 in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, Rick Riordan and Disney+ revealed that Daniel Diemer (“Under the Bridge”) will star as fan-favorite cyclops “Tyson” in the epic adventure series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” Diemer joins Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood) as a series regular. The Disney+ Original series from Disney Branded Television and 20th Television will start filming its second season next week in Vancouver.

Season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on the second installment of Disney Hyperion’s best-selling book series titled “The Sea of Monsters” by award-winning author Rick Riordan. In the new season, Percy Jackson returns to Camp Half-Blood one year later to find his world turned upside down. His friendship with Annabeth is changing, he learns he has a cyclops for a brother, Grover has gone missing, and camp is under siege from the forces of Kronos. Percy’s journey to set things right will take him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.

Diemer stars as Tyson – a young Cyclops who grew up all alone on the streets, and finds it difficult to survive in the human world.  Shy and awkward, with a heart almost as big as he is, Tyson soon discovers that Poseidon is his father, which means Percy Jackson is his half-brother… and that Tyson may have finally found a home. 

Diemer recently starred in the Hulu limited series “Under the Bridge” based off the critically acclaimed book of the same name and a tragic true story of a missing teen girl in Vancouver in 1997. He will next star in the indie “Thug” opposite Liam Neeson and Ron Perlman for director Hans Petter Moland. Daniel was recently seen as the lead in the indie “Supercell” opposite Alec Baldwin and Skeet Ulrich and the lead in the film “Little Brother” opposite Phil Ettinger and JK Simmons. Daniel can also be seen in the Netflix series “The Midnight Club” and recently starred as the male lead in the breakout hit Netflix feature “The Half Of It” from producer Anthony Bregman and director Alice Wu. He is a graduate of Victoria Academy of Dramatic Arts in Vancouver.

Created by Rick Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg, season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is executive produced by Steinberg and Dan Shotz alongside Rick Riordan, Rebecca Riordan, Craig Silverstein, The Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Bert Salke, The Gotham Group’s Jeremy Bell and D.J.
