This week’s big film
Transformers One is an electrifying addition to the franchise. It’s emotionally gripping, visually ground-breaking and a fresh take on a well-known story. The performances, particularly by Chris Hemsworth and Brian Tyree Henry, anchor the film with intensity and emotion. Josh Cooley delivers a movie that respects the legacy of the franchise while pushing its boundaries, offering a unique origin story filled with heart and heroism.
