Andrew J. Salazar from Geeks of Color is singing praises for the movie’s 3D animation and action.
TRANSFORMERS ONE could be my favorite animated film of the year. A fantastic family adventure that navigates mature, surprisingly dark territory with ease. The 3D animation is gorgeous and the action is, frankly, unbelievable at times.
