The weather is not clearing up, but it seems that we are still at the gates of the summer season, and if something suggests it, in addition to the calendar, they are the film premieres that arrive in our theaters this June 9. These arrive led by a new franchised blockbuster with giant robots giving each other cakes, but it is not, by far, the only offer we received this Friday. Let’s go over them all.
The premieres of June 9, 2023
‘Transformers: The awakening of the beasts’ (‘Transformers: Rise of the Beasts’, 2023)
- It’s the seventh —seventh!— installment of the Transformers cinematic adventures if you count Michael Bay’s pentalogy and its charming spinoff ‘Bumblebee’.
- It is directed by Steven Caple Jr. who surprised with his jump to the big studios with the remarkable ‘Creed II’.
- This time, the movie takes us back to the 1990s to introduce us to three factions of the Transformers: the Maximals, the Predacons, and the Terrocons.
- Its cast includes names such as Anthony Ramos, Dominique Fishback, Domenic Di Rosa or Lauren Vélez.
Criticism in Espinof: ‘Transformers: The Awakening of the Beasts’ wants to combine ‘Bumblebee’ with the Michael Bay style, but it has a problem: it is a show with a flavor of a one-euro hamburger
