7/10
A film that defined my childhood

**POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD**

I grew up in the 80s and Transformers were the best toy ever. To build on the Transformers empire, after various waves of toys, cartoon series and comics, came this movie.

Some people have their gripes with this film, but at the end of the day it's aimed at Transformers fans, not for someone outside that world. Characters don't need to be introduced, as anyone worth their salt will know who they are. And it doesn't matter if said characters are killed off within 5 minutes of their first appearance either.

Kudos to the awesome idea of having a Transformer who is a planet, who is seemingly indestructible. His name is Unicron. It's still jaw-dropping to see him transform even today.

The only thing that can stop Unicron is a power called The Matrix. Obviously it all comes to a head between the two.

The soundtrack is pure 80s cheese, but who cares. It goes very well with the film and is still memorable even today.

Thank god this film was issued onto DVD.
