Transformers The Last Knight

>>80841479

I was ready to go home a very happy fan boy who just had an unforgettable experience. When, we arrive at a near by IMAX movie theater that had been reserved just for us. Master of ceremonies, Director Bay, lead us into the theater to give us the first look at the extended clip reel that was being prepared for the CinemaCon event coming up in Las Vegas. What we were shown was not a continuous plot segment from the movie, but about 20 or 30 different scenes introducing both the medieval and modern aspects of the "The Last Night" movie that brings together the lore of the 13 Knights of the Round-table, 5 of which are Cybertronians, all lead by King Arthur.

Forget about any kind of introduction, or warm up to the plot as we have seen in previous films. The Paramount logo sequence appears and goes directly into a major battle sequence in the first minute of the film. The opening scene is extremely violent. Giant spiked balls on fire are hurled from a multitude of trebuchets. The bodies of metal clad knights are being crushed and hurled through the air. Out numbered by 100s or even 1000s, to one. King Arthur is desperately waiting for Merlin to deliver on his promise. Merlin is not the sparkly sage we have known before. He's a crusty old drunk we are introduced to as he's chugging down a whole bottle of whiskey. But worry not, a long shot cuts to him riding on horse back to what looks a lot like the Autobots Ark, mostly buried in a mountain side. We can only assume it was conjured from the technology found within, as a massive three-headed flying robot Dragonstorm appears over the horizon of the previous battle scene to save the day.

In a following scene, we are introduced to new characters such as "Cogman" who is a humanoid looking transformer with a subservient personality that can turn violent at any moment. The robot is super detailed with gears and levers that move and vibrate with every gesture. We are also introduced to Hot Rod as the Lamborghini Centenario LP770-4 who rolls up and transforms to reveal a combative Vivian Wembley, played by Laura Haddock. She's clearly not happy to be at the castle of Edmund Burton, played by Sir Anthony Hopkins. Worth noting in this scene, is the appearance of a WWI Mark IV tank Transformer serving as a castle guard. He is also a British bot that is bombastic with funny quirks and random bot parts falling off.

In other scenes we learn there is a human group know as the "TRF" hunting down Transformers, and Cade Yeager for an unknown reason. Strangely, the TRF use robot drones, and mecha-like walking robots in their operations. Cut to an abandoned sports stadium. Here we learn what some may have mistaken as Bumblebee missing his battle helmet. Is actually a yellow robot that gets shot down who goes by the name of "Canopy".

In the later cuts we are introduced some very very big space ships that appear to tie into the medieval aspects of the film. They are shaped much like the circle and cross insignia that has been randomly incorporated in some of the early promotional material. It is not entirely clear what these ships do or if they are friend or foe.

If you are confused by these many fragmented elements, that is no mistake. After the preview, Michael made it clear that we were not being shown the full story. The major elements that tie everything together have been left out to keep us guessing. Upon further questions and answers, he described this fifth Transformers film as a new story, that may or may not connect to the previous films even though they share known characters from them. We also learned the production for these movies have often continued to evolve until just weeks and even hours before the delivery deadline. Micheal also pointed out that what we just saw would likely be refined further still.

Don't feel left out. We are told that this clip reel, or something like it, would be released for public viewing on April 4th. To coin the slogan from the IMAX movie poster, "Every Legend Hides a Secret" and I guess we will have to wait till June 23rd to find out what the legend and the secret are.
