In 1987, in a small sanctuary on the California beach, Bumblebee the Autobot returns to an adventure that seems to be the strongest for him. The Autobot meets a girl named Charlie who is 18 years old and trying to help him. Charlie begins to encourage Bumblebee the Autobot, but events may change when he discovers a battle.
Steinfeld injects the right mix of sparky teen angst and feisty humour, adding layers to each scene that builds Iron Giant-style emotions between this girl and her car.
Bumblebee works because it dares to tap into a new dimension in this franchise: Legitimate emotional reactions. We humans like to refer to them as feelings!
It has taken the franchise more than a decade to get its act together, but finally we get to experience what a Transformers movie should have been all along.
Steinfeld is an enormously talented actress, and the film knows to spend some time with her and not try to hurry things along to the next big set piece.
Everything about Bumblebee feels like a fresh start for the franchise: director Travis Knight strips down the Transformers aesthetic to something cleaner and more coherent...
Nostalgic without being mindlessly retro; a sweet, heartfelt girl-and-her-alien-robot-car action-adventure buddy dramedy that hits all the right notes. Hailee Steinfeld is terrific, and there's not a whiff of Michael Bay to be found.
