Transformers: The Last Knight is bringing its Bay-branded blend of explosions, orange-filtered footage and people (even Anthony Hopkins this time) saying "dude". And talking of the venerable actor, he's here acting as the movie's Basil Exposition for a little potted secret history of the Transformers' time on Earth.
The latest robo-outing finds the relationship between Transformers and humans at an all-time low, with war raging and Optimus Prime still gone, off in space. The answer to saving the future may lie in the past, and humanity will need an unlikely alliance, including Cade Yeager (Mark Wahlberg), Sir Edmund Burton (Hopkins), professor Vivian Wembley (Laura Haddock and Lt. Colonel William Lennox (Josh Duhamel). Oh, and Bumblebee.
Though Age Of Extinction introduced the idea of Transformers having been on our planet since the time of the dinosaurs, the idea of them "hiding" does rather make us wonder what the people who knew about them were doing when Prime and co. showed up back in the first film, though perhaps those questions will be answered by the logical and well-structured script the movie is sure to employ.
We'll find out when The Last Knight arrives on 23 June.
