Our Verdict
There’s a budget Godzilla/Power Rangers-esque vibe to the costume design and visual FX but it works surprisingly well and there are some great touches – such as the mouth animation and the scene transitions. The voice work is excellent and costumes may not be as spectacular as Michael Bay’s efforts, but they’ve got a lot more character and retain the charm of the original toys/cartoon series. It the next Transformers movie was a feature length version of this, that wouldn’t be so bad!
