Please note: Due to signing NDA’s, there are no reviews of Transformers One in this post. The following discusses the Sydney showing in general terms and fans reactions. NO SPOILERS are contained in this piece, nor in the YouTube video at the bottom of this page.
Along with the US, UK and Mexico, some lucky Australian fans were treated to a Special Fan Screening of Transformers One, a full two months before the movie is set for general release.
The Australian showing was at the Hoyts Entertainment Quarter in Sydney, the same place where Hasbro and Paramount held the Rise of the Beasts Preview Screening in 2023.
Transformers: Rise of the Beasts – Special Preview Screening Event!
It was a fun and festive atmosphere, especially with so many children in attendance. There were large Transformer One displays, statues of the main characters and even the latest Robosen figures were on show.
Attendee’s were given gift bags containing popcorn, water, an Orion Pax toy and a couple of posters. Also all attendee’s were naturally required to sign Non-Disclosure agreements, as well as having their phones cloaked, in order for no spoilers to be leaked that could ruin the viewing experience for others when the movie goes to general cinema release in September.
However we are allowed to share fans general impressions of the movie, and many of those in attendance were kind enough to share their feelings with bigangrytrev.com
Below are the reactions of fans who viewed the film at the Sydney event. Note that neither Paramount or Hasbro has tried to dictate the positivity or negativity of the following. There is no information contained in the following about the plot of the movie that was not already known by the general public from the public trailers and press releases. Note we have also included a link to peoples reactions on our YouTube channel at the bottom of this page.
Fan Reactions
How fantastic to see Transformers movies return to the world of animation, something we haven’t seen since the beloved 1986 film! I enjoyed this movie on so many levels, as did my wife and children. Look forward to bringing you all a full review in September!
Objectively, this is the best Transformers movie we’ve gotten to date. Hands down the best Megatron origin story. Finally, a Transformers movie that my wife genuinely enjoyed as much as I did. I’ll pay to see it again. And for me, that’s saying something.

Far and away the best Transformers movie (not including the ’86 movie) released to date. Cant wait to see it again!
I want a CD of the movie score, Brian Tyler crushed it! The visuals were so good that there were a couple scenes where I got sweaty palms from the heights. I think this is the transformers movie that a lot of fans have been waiting for, it didn’t feel as long as it was.

The only thing that sucks about this movie is that I have to wait another 2 months until I can watch it again.

It’s an action filled blockbuster that honestly is the best Transformers film ever to grace the big screen! We all love the 86’ film, but without the lens of nostalgia, it’s far from perfect. Whereas this is a literal roller coaster ride of DEEP TF lore, likeable characters and extraordinarily layered and nuanced writing. It’s really really REALLY bloody good!

I enjoyed it!
Transformers One is a movie I wasn’t expecting to like as much as I did, but it is quite easily the best written Transformer movie ever. The comedy parts were done well and I laughed out loud quite a bit. There were also a lot of “oh wow” moments but I can’t say more than that until the general release. I can’t wait to see it again!

Great Movie, great Character development. An Origin story that portrays the franchise fantastically. Finally a modern film that does the franchise justice!.
I believe this is the best transformers movie yet as there is actual character development, the film has depth and makes you feel for the each of the main characters and the story is fresh and engages you from minute one.

Had a wonderful time seeing the movie with a room full of enthusiastic Transformers fans, and we weren’t disappointed!
A whirlwind of fun, nostalgia and action giving Transformers fans young and old a story to enjoy. A new take on the origin story fans have always wanted with some clever nods to all that came before while forging its own direction. It exceeded my expectations and was able to offer some of the best character development we have seen in a Transformers movie. I can’t wait to watch it again.
Transformers One was a fun, fresh, colourful new beginning to a new era of Transformers that I am looking forward to seeing more of.

Transformers One is fantastic. No notes. It’s what I want a Transformers movie to be. It’s what all Transformers fans want it to be. Go see it.
Of course we can’t forget the kids who were in attendance, lets get their thoughts too!
It was entertaining
Arty M
It was just all-round great
Zoe & Ethan R

It was so exciting!

Complete and utter perfection

As a semi Transformers fan, I think the movie is great, especially for new people
I thought it was really good, even better than the live action movies!
