Travis Knight reveals the humanity that fuels the warriors of Cybertron.
What was that first line of dialogue from The Force Awakens? “This will begin to make things right.” Oh yes. The Bumblebee trailer is here to wash your fanboy angst away. Forget what came before (or after, as we’re dealing with prequel silliness here), director Travis Knight reaches into your childhood toybox to recreate your Transformers Generation One fantasies. It is an act of love, not aggression.
While this trailer does not necessarily dump on everything Michael Bay put forth in his epic saga, Knight appears to be more interested in the sweetness behind the girl and her pet car story than the catastrophic devastation that will fall in their wake. This is the filmmaker behind Laika animation, a company that has mastered the heartstring. While he is probably contractually required to deliver explosions and Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em robot fights, Knight will deliver on the emotion behind each punch as well.
