You are correct. Even a clock as broken as AoE is right twice a day...When you put it that way, AOE did "boy and his car" better than the first movie with Cade working to fix up Optimus.
Transformers: Rise of the Beasts
- Thread starter SHIELD Agent 47
- Start date
It's even more ironic considering the "boy and his car" aspect of the first movie was only in there at all because of Spielberg's more direct involvement with said movie.
AOE lacked such close involvement from Spielberg, and Bay still put it in there regardless. Wild.
I'm guessing if they didn't feel compelled to keep the "Bumblebee talks through the radio" conciet, he would have been the main character in RotB still and Mirage wouldn't have been there, or would have been a supporting character like Arcee.
They obviously wanted someone who could banter with Noah, and that's hard to do when you have to work around the radio gimmick.

Yeah. THANKS, Spielberg!
I don't believe Spielberg has ever been the reason his movies were good.
I likewise don't think Speilberg has anything to do with this still being a thing 16 years after it made its mark in the first film, and about 14 years since it stopped being interesting in the second.

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts to Stream on Paramount+ Tomorrow
If you still haven't seen the latest Transformers film, you will have another way to watch it tomorrow.

I went ahead and updated the title to let folks know.
While I am happy that Paramount+ is showing this for essentially free, I am worried that moves like this are going to be used to justify not releasing films in physical formats. Like they literally water down the demand for the film by showing it in theaters for 45 days, then put it on VOD/digital download for a couple weeks, and then have it streaming for free for millions of Parmount+ users. Then, 3 months later when they release the film on DVD/Blu-ray/UHD Blu-ray, they can show low sales numbers.
Pretty much every major industry has realized that signing people up for a continuous subscription to access something is infinity times more profitable than just selling it to them once. Not that I haven't subscribed to a few streaming services myself, but I've been trying to use the local library for anything that isn't on Roku, Netflix, or Hulu (the two services I do have subscriptions to). With all the libraries sharing a network of books and movies, you can get pretty much anything you want for free, you just sometimes have to wait a week to get it.
Picard Season 3 and Both seasons of Strange New Worlds are great Star Trek shows. Lower Decks is good too, but that might be an acquired taste.
Also, the Yellowstone Prequels on there are great even if you haven't seen Yellowstone(I haven't seen it).

Or, people can just download media from the internet for free. It's basically the same as having a physical disk
To be honest, I think most people, including myself, aren't interested in disks anymore. I'm happy to download stuff or stream it as I don't have to get up out of my chair to switch disks and on the whole, there's much less geo-blocked content (especially if one occasionally hoists the Jolly Rodger).

I'm a paranoid data hoarder. I'm never giving up disks.
You don't know how much you need disks until your internet goes out on the weekend for hours and hours and you have three kids to entertain.
I like the convenience of streaming, but I want that physical disk back up in case I lose my internet connection or go somewhere that doesn't have it.
Geez, that sucks.
That's a terrible idea anyway. I've heard Drop Bear attacks are triple what they were just last year!
