Popcorn Culture -  Review: Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

How many live-action Transformers movies are there? Honestly, we're not sure, but that won't stop Rise of the Beasts from making a lot of money at the box-office. Based on the ultra-popular Beast Wars line of toys and equally popular 3D animated series from the 90s, this latest film reintroduces us to Optimus Prime and his Autobots, the villainous Decepticons, and a new species of primal cybernetic beings. Of course, there's also a world-ending threat in the mix. We review Transformers: RotB and discuss the ups and downs of the film, while trying to make sense of the series' complicated canon (or lack thereof).
