Plot

In 1987, Optimus Prime from Cybertron sent the B 127 to earth to regroup the Autobots. B 127 makes a crash landing in California. Colonel Jack Burns tries to get the information from B 127, with the help of Blitzwing after taking it to the forest. As it didn’t reveal anything about Optimus, Blitzwing damages the memory and voice box of B 127. Even though its memory is damaged, B 127, finishes off Blitzwing. It scans a Volkswagen Beetle, before losing its power. Meanwhile, Charlie, a young girl, finds out the Bumblebee, which is shattered. She starts reviving it and tries to own it. But, soon she finds out that it is not a normal Volkswagen. What happens next? Watch the film in theaters!

Star Performance

Hailee Steinfeld played her role perfectly. John Cena did justice to his role. The rest of the cast did what is needed for their characters.

Analysis

The director has narrated the script well, especially the bonding between Bumblebee and Charlie. The CGI works are excellent. As the film is set in the ’80s, the audio mixing relates the period. The screenplay is engaging and the film travels without any lag. Like the music composer, the cinematographer also proved his excellence.

What’s There?

Performance of the stars is excellent
The CGI works are impressive
The BGM and cinematography attract the audiences

What’s Not There?

Except for a few minor flaws nothing big as minus

Verdict

Bumblebee proves that it is a perfect franchise of Transformers. With the engaging screenplay, performance and the CGI works, the film attracts the audiences of all the ages.
