"Review: Transformers Fans Satisfied with Rise of the Beasts"

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, the seventh installment in the franchise, features the first appearance of the Maximals on the big screen. The film follows former Army private and tech wiz Noah (Anthony Ramos) and researcher Elena (Dominique Fishback) as they team up with the Autobots and Maximals to defeat the Terrorcons led by Scourge (Peter Dinklage) and save the world. Directed by Steven Caple Jr., the film boasts impressive action sequences and appealing performances, but the story proves less interesting.
