On the afternoon of April 26, the movie "Transformers" announced through the official social platform that a new film in the series was about to be released in China.
The new work in this series is named "Transformers: The Rise of the Super Warriors", the US release date is June 9, the film party should be applying for simultaneous release, but because it is only confirmed to be introduced but not finalized, it only says "about to land in theaters nationwide", interestingly, there is also a topic of "Transformers 7 confirmed introduction" later.
It is necessary to comb through the entire Transformers series.
The first "Transformers" movie by Michael Bay was released in 2007, 16 years ago. At that time, the audience basically watched the film version, because the theater basically did not upgrade the digital projector, and even tried digital cameras for the first time when Tsui Hark filmed "Women Are Not Bad" the following year, and "Nightclub", released in 2009, was still a film shot with a film camera.
After the release of "Transformers", it got 281 million domestic box office, and the global box office was as high as 714 million. The first successful test of the waters, Paramount naturally will not put down this cash cow. As a result, the second to fifth parts of the series were released one after another, and the mainland box office also soared from 403 million in the second part to 1.976 billion in the fourth part, but "Transformers 5: The Last Knight" began to decline, and the global box office shrank from more than 1 billion in the fourth part to 606 million. When the fifth part was released, it happened to be the tenth year of "Selling Copies" in charge of the series.
Paramount realized that it was not a matter of going on like this, and he might mess up the cash cow! So he changed his strategy, and the next year "Bumblebee" came out, and the director also changed from selling copies to Travis Knight.
This kind of thinking, in fact, is a bit of a learning of Marvel's MCU superhero universe, since the audience is tired of watching the endless fights between Bopai and Mad Faction, then it is better to bring out the character alone, and choose a likable bumblebee first. However, although the domestic box office rebounded, "Bumblebee" still failed to save the global box office and continued to drop to $467 million.
Therefore, Paramount restarted the creation of "Transformers" while studying the continued launch of "Bumblebee 2", trying to save the decline, so there is this "Transformers: Rise of Super Warriors", but in my opinion, "Bumblebee" can only be regarded as a side of the entire series or a branch, should not be included in the main series, so this one is more appropriate to name "Transformers 6".
So why is it said that "Transformers: The Rise of the Power Rangers" may be the fiercest Hollywood sci-fi blockbuster of the year?
As we all know, in the absence of the "Transformers" series in the past few years, Hollywood sci-fi blockbusters have basically been monopolized by Marvel and DC, and the more they shoot, the less taste, the audience has begun to dislike, "Black Panther 2", "Ant-Man 3", DC's "Thunder Shazam 2" and so on have folded, full of routine plots, overturned characters, and fights that do not seek innovation, the actors themselves have seen enough!
Then, after five years of "Transformers", not to mention the big scenes, only 5 years will give the audience the surprise of "small betweens victory newlywed".
In addition, after watching the trailer, it is quite exciting.
Don't just spit on Marvel, DC, Paramount can't play any new tricks in the face of the Transformers IP, or the interaction between the Autobots and humans, the positive and negative factions fight, the destruction of the world, interspersed with some from strange fear to familiarity, and human misunderstanding will be chased by police cars and other dramas, think of such a routine of the plot makes people yawn.
But this one has obviously achieved a breakthrough, or innovation, and the producer has obviously opened up its mind, no longer limited to the image that appeared in the series in the past.
Chimpanzees, rhinos, leopards, flying arrows, etc. are seen in the trailer. In this way, other characters such as jacks, nightingales, and frozen monsters are also expected to appear in the movie, just imagine, robots and bestial buffs superimposed, stronger combat effectiveness, undoubtedly convenient to create larger battle scenes.
There is no suspense, "Transformers: The Rise of the Power Warriors" is a typical Hollywood brainless popcorn blockbuster, and even if you don't feel that reading the subtitles will not affect your understanding of the plot, a movie ticket money, don't watch the plot only watch the big scene of Zhen's brain pain, are you willing to go? Anyway, I will, sit and wait for the final release.
