I'm not seeing those kinds of characters in the trailer (and thank goodness for that). All I'm seeing are a bunch of adult-aged/minded characters living in a corrupt, oppressive society and trying to make the most of it or change it for the better.o.supreme wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Whenever I see people say things like this, I have to wonder, "Where is your inner child?"o.supreme wrote:I'm going in with the expectation that this film will skew towards a younger demographic and there really wont be anything for me as an older fan.
Bro you of all people know I have a deficiency.I never liked comedy relief characters or "kid identifying characters"
Snarf, Orko, and Oon (lame)
Bumblebee, The Wonder Twins, and Scott Trakker (dumb)
Superman, Optimus Prime, and mid-20s Spider Man. (These were my peers at 8 years old)

The director admitted that he crammed as much humor into the trailer because of how real the actual movie itself gets.

Captain America 3 was Civil War. It released years ago.-Kanrabat- wrote:Test screenings are not perfect, but they are a reliable metric. Especially when the testers didn't hesitate to roast the Hell out of the latest Indiana Jones, or especially the still in development Hell Captain America 3.
I'm looking forward the TF1 movie.

What's UHF? Googling it gives me Weird AI's movie, but I can't figure out what that movie's got to do with TF:1 being well received with test audience (very different target audience & genre)
Maybe I'm way off and UHF is an acronym of a recent movie? Otherwise that reference feels a bit random... unless you're name dropping Weird AI because he was involved in the OG animated TF: The Movie?

It was Weird Al's movie. It was getting the highest test scores for Orion pictures since Robo Cop. When it was released, it bombed because the summer was loaded with soon to be classics. My point was just because a movie tests well doesn't mean it'll be a hit.

#TransformersONE received a standing ovation at its surprise debut at the Annecy Film Festival.
There were multiple applause eruptions throughout the movie, getting rowdier & louder as it went on with the title itself being called an instant 'Hit', 'The Best Transformers Movie Yet' & 'Incredibly funny' with a 'great story' from those in attendance.
The story follows the fallout of Optimus Prime & Megatron on the brink of the War For Cybertron.
‘TRANSFORMERS ONE’ receives a standing ovation during its screening today at Annecy.
A work-in-progress version of the film was shown.

A work-in-progress premiere of the first fully animated “Transformers” movie since 1986 torn the house down.
On the second night of this year’s Annecy International Animation Film Festival, after an opening night that showcased the beautiful and brutal “The Most Precious of Cargoes,” the festival gave over to fun. In the same slot they previously premiered a work-in-progress print of “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem,” Paramount debuted “Transformers One,” the first fully animated “Transformers” feature since 1986’s “Transformers: The Movie.” It played like gangbusters.
Josh Cooley, the former Pixar artist and director of the Oscar-winning “Toy Story 4,” introduced the movie after some preliminary words from Ramsey Naito, president of Paramount Animation. Cooley described the feeling of anticipation that goes along with giving someone a really cool present. He said he couldn’t wait for the Annecy audience to open that present, a love letter to “Transformers” of old and to animation in general. He thanked the amazing artists who worked on the film and the team at Industrial Light & Magic, who were responsible for the movie’s animation (ILM also provided the feature animation for “Ultraman: Rising,” which has its world premiere at the festival later this week).
“You are audience one,” Cooley said. Then the movie rolled.
It is exactly what it has been described as — an origin story for how two young robots (voiced by Chris Hemsworth and Brian Tyree Henry) went from being besties to mortal enemies, ultimately known as Optimus Prime and Megatron. The animation style previewed in the early trailer; a kind of painterly, 1980s lunchbox aesthetic, is very much present in the final film — all vibrant colors and shiny surfaces. That’s pretty much all we can say without giving anything away. But that’s all you should know going into the movie, debuting theatrically in September. Whereas the original “Transformers: The Movie,” while enjoyable, was pretty much used to hard reset the lucrative toy line, which was cobbled together from existing Japanese toy lines and given a fresh coat of paint. The toys had been flagging, the movie was a way to rejuvenate the line (it didn’t work). The cynicism of the earlier animated feature has been replaced with something joyful, beautifully alive.
And that joy was very much felt in the biggest auditorium at Annecy. There were applause breaks several times throughout the movie, getting bigger and rowdier as the movie went on. It was punctuated at the end by a standing ovation for Cooley and his collaborators. What seemed at first like a polite response to the movie also swelled, going on for several minutes while Cooley bashfully took the praise (down the row from him was Jeff Rowe, director of “TMNT: Mutant Mayhem,” who received a similar response last year).
This was a project that had been in the works for at least a decade. Finally, in a sleepy town in France, it transformed into something real.
“Transformers One” hits theaters Sept. 20.

Yeah, imagine if the movie was in the middle of a pitched battle or something and a rock anthem suddenly started blaring out!-Kanrabat- wrote:And damn, having pop songs in the movie would have been very immersion-breaking.

Yeah, that took me by surprise. A Hollywood-made non-Disney family film in this day and age having no pop songs whatsoever is super rare.Glyph wrote:Anticipation cautiously building...Yeah, imagine if the movie was in the middle of a pitched battle or something and a rock anthem suddenly started blaring out!-Kanrabat- wrote:And damn, having pop songs in the movie would have been very immersion-breaking.![]()
