With a visually eye-catching CGI and VFX. Transformers : The Last Knight still failed to deliver a good story and proper character development for several characters, and keeping the same old repetitive script over and over again. This movie also provide severals different scene with different aspect ratio that may made u confuse on what the hell is actually happening? And of course its not Transformers without its Plot Hole that we will never get the answer of.

Transformers: The Last Knight (2017), directed by Michael Bay and starring Mark Wahlberg, Anthony Hopkins, and Josh Duhamel, is the fifth and final entry in the Bayverse series. While it was billed as the end of an era for the franchise, it also ended up being the most chaotic and frustrating film in the series. The movie is an overstuffed mess of incoherent subplots, bizarre character arcs, and convoluted world-building. The story, which mixes Transformers with elements of mythology, history, and even medieval lore, often feels disconnected and nonsensical. The plot centers around Optimus Prime turning against the Autobots under the influence of the evil Cybertronian entity Quintessa, while Cade Yeager (Wahlberg) teams up with a motley crew of humans, including Sir Edmund Burton (Hopkins), to prevent the destruction of Earth. Bay’s signature explosions and visual spectacle are on full display, but they’re overwhelming and, at times, exhausting. The action sequences, though technically impressive, are often too long and chaotic, with little emotional payoff. Character motivations are unclear, and some of the film’s most interesting potential, such as the historical tie-ins to the Transformers’ presence on Earth, is squandered in favor of nonsensical spectacle. Wahlberg’s performance as Cade feels increasingly disconnected from the core of the film, while Anthony Hopkins provides some much-needed gravitas, though even his talents can’t save the film from its bloated, incoherent narrative. Josh Duhamel and the returning characters from previous films barely add anything meaningful, relegated to minor roles in an already overloaded story. At its core, The Last Knight tries to juggle too many ideas without ever finding a clear direction, making it feel like a chaotic, overcooked stew of plotlines and explosions. For fans of the franchise, this marks a disappointing conclusion to the Bay-directed era. The film’s lack of focus, coupled with its endless barrage of action, makes it the weakest entry in the series and a frustrating experience for anyone hoping for a satisfying resolution to the Transformers saga.

1.2/10 They somehow manage to make the Transformers look and feel more human in this one. They have the green one in the beginning take off his face armor as if he needs to breathe, and Cade talks about their arteries and Energon leaks. Like I said about Age of Extinction, the CGI itself is good, but the Transformers’ designs have been made to look too human. The cinematography was serviceable before, even good at times, but it’s just plain bad here until the final act. Bay changes aspect ratio almost literally every shot. I think Bumblebee’s fight with Optimus is the only well-filmed scene in this movie. That might also be the only good action sequence in the movie. All of the action before that is pretty boring, since in the first act, it’s just Cade outrunning the government. Once again, to nobody’s surprise, the human characters are awful. Who thought it was a good idea to bring children into a Transformers movie? Everything done with Izabella is so forced and she does nothing for an hour, Jimmy is this movie’s completely unnecessary side character, and Cade and Vivian’s romance is horrendous. Anthony Hopkins does his best with what he’s given, but his character is so flat. Cade doesn’t get involved in the actual plot until an hour and 15 minutes in. SOMEHOW, this movie manages to do the Transformer characters dirty too. After Optimus meets Quintessa, he isn’t seen again until an hour and 15 minutes in. The Decepticons get Suicide Squad-style introductions just for them to get killed the next time they appear on screen. Hound and the new Autobot gang are once again an unenjoyable presence. I will say, Quintessa is one of their more interesting ideas for a villain, even though she isn’t well executed. Like Age of Extinction, The Last Knight has far too much going on. The junkyard scenes, product placement, and much more should've been flat out cut. This movie has SIX main factions: Cade and the Autobots, Quintessa and Optimus, Megatron and the Decepticons, the TRF, the Army guys from the first three movies, and NASA.
