Optimus Prime has a mission for bees

Paramount released the full trailer of his Transformers spinoff / prequel, bumblebee. The sixth live-action Transformers movie in general, bumblebee has the unique quality of do not directed by Michael Bay, unlike the previous five entries. To be fair, the filmmaker clearly has his fans, as evidenced by the amount of $ 4.4 billion that the franchise has achieved under his guidance. However, the noticeable drop in the box office is coming back last year. Transformers: The Last Knight suggests that even Bay's most fervent supporters have begun to tire of his focus on the noisy show rather than coherent storytelling.

Fortunately, for the Transformers brand, the change is now underway in the form of bumblebee. In addition to being a relatively lower budget Transformers film that focuses on the heroic Bumblebee, the film was directed by Travis Knight of Kubo and the two strings celebrity. Knight is obviously a storyteller very different from Bay and bumblebee unveiled images until now suggests that his Transformers The film will be all the more close to his inventive and animated stop-motion efforts.

bumblebee returns to the clock in 1987 and follows Bee while he embarks on a secret mission to Earth on the orders of Optimus Prime – with a trio of Decepticons (including, the Blitzwing able to fly, aka . do not Starscream) and the US Army on his tail. Along the way, Bee cross paths with Charlie (Hailee Steinfeld), a teenage auto mechanic who becomes friends with Autobot, who is typically nonverbal, and ends up helping her in her adventure. For more on that, look at the official bumblebee trailer in the space below.

While the bumblebee The trailer is focused on Charlie's first encounter with Bee, the official trailer plunges deeper into the movie's plot. Much of the new images presented here have already been shown in bumblebee In July, San Diego's Comic-Con panel, whose Bee clip projecting a holographic recording of Optimus Prime. This also applies to Bee's plans (with Charlie occasionally in tow) pursued by Decepticons of the film and John Cena as Agent Burns – a character who joins the villains of the film, after being misled into believing that Bee is a criminal escaped from Cybertron.

Speaking of that – while there are glimpses of Cybertron in this new trailer, the vast majority of bumblebee is put on earth and not the original world of transformers. Despite this, Knight has already managed to pay homage to the biggest mythology of the franchise by giving back here characters like Optimus Prime and Bee to their G1 designs. Similarly, The iron giant-This scenario of transition to adulthood written by Christina Hodson (who also works on DC's ### Birds of prey) Brings the live-action Transformers the movies return to their roots in science fiction and fantasy Spielbergian. L & # 39; current bumblebee images is also more visually coherent and emotionally involving than anything we've seen from the Transformers series in a while.

Overall, he continues to look like bumblebee will offer a refreshing change of pace as Bay approaches Transformers franchise. Hoping this is the case with the film itself.
