Had a moment to think rationally (thank you espresso). There's a lot of ways this could go. It could be the Breakfast Club with elements of Looper. It could be like Percy Jackson but dark like the Divergent series. It could even be like Enders Game but with Transformers. I mean, those are awesome, right? Someone in Hollywood came up with those designs, and created masterpieces out of rehashed material and they're considered contenders for the Stank awards, right?



All snark aside I will reserve judgement for actually attempting to watch this in the theaters. I did with Revenge of the Fallen. Have to be able to give the franchise a chance. Unfortunately it will already fall to the curse of Transformers live action movies just based on the design, the montage trailer footage, and the overriding instinct of long time fans. Love it or hate it, it's the same sentence as the Transformers series.

I have long since given up on the fact that original, fresh science fiction can exist. We've hit saturation. There are so many already published short stories and manuscripts that were just so good, and because some Holly-bro exec decided it wouldn't make money just canned it. The best stories are the ones that are NOT messed with so far that you can't recognize the source material. That is why Marvel and DC work (again, perception is everything).
