In Theaters: June 23, 2017

There is only ONE wide release this week.

Transformers: The Last Knight (Wednesday release)


I don't even know what to say at this point.

The fifth Transformers movie is upon us.  And just like all the prior films, we really have no idea what it's about.  Even after we've seen it.  But does that really matter?  No.  Not at all.  This franchise has evolved well beyond the primitive need for things like story and character.  Giant robots fighting each other in drawn out, but exciting-the-first-time action sequences is the pinnacle of filmmaking.

If the Donald Trump campaign was a movie franchise, it would undoubtedly be Transformers.  It's loud.  A lot of people say it's stupid.  But in the end it always gets results.  Even if you believe the foreign hacking story, the comparison stands up.  The last Transformers movie owes almost thirty percent of its worldwide gross to a single foreign power.

Transformers: The Last Knight is rated PG-13 for violence and intense sequences of sci-fi action, language, and some innuendo.

You're not kidding anyone, you know you want to see it.
