Blurb:
“Power is primal. Returning to the action and spectacle that have captured moviegoers around the world, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts will take audiences on a ‘90s globetrotting adventure and introduce the Maximals, Predacons, and Terrorcons to the existing battle on earth between Autobots and Decepticons.”
Release:
In the US, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts will be released theatrically by Paramount nationwide on June 23, 2023.
Reviews:
“Lacks the ‘ick’ factor of the earlier Bay-directed efforts, and Fishback and Ramos do a great job as the token humans, but this is still just silly and derivative.” 2 out of 5, Empire
“An array of fighting techniques from the Terrorcons keeps violent altercations fresh, whether that’s tow truck Battletrap swinging his chain weapon or neon-pink-detailed Nightbird’s aerial manoeuvres that scare the engine oil out of Mirage. Rise of the Beasts might keep its battles more contained, but that allows both combatants and move combinations to shine…” 4 out of 5, IGN
