Transformers: Rise of the Beast, directed by Steven Caple Jr. and starring Anthony Ramos, Dominique Fishback, and Lauren Luna Velez, boasts impressive action sequences but falls short in terms of storytelling, following a generic plot and lacking nuanced character work. The Maximals offer an exciting dynamic, but the Autobots and humans lack visual texture. The film does make a noteworthy stride in inclusivity, incorporating Peruvian indigeneity into Autobot lore and offering some social commentary. Overall, the film is a typical entry in the Transformers franchise, with plot armor thicker than Optimus Prime's metallic exoskeleton.
