Transformers rise of the beasts cast

USA TODAY That effort turned out to be for nothing. "Don't tell anyone, but I got my license for this movie so that I could drive, And I didn't drive once," says Ramos. "But that's cool, it's a Transformer, right? So it drives itself." Here's what the new humans bring to "Transformers: Rise of the Beasts" (in theaters Friday): Dominique Fishback took the dramatic route to 'Transformers' and one final anonymous subway ride Neither Ramos nor Fishback were obvious choices to lead the billion-dollar sci-fi action "Transformers" franchise. Ramos' past professional life has been heavily Ramos is ready to expand people's perceptions and his repertoire with "Rise of the Beasts," which didn't require singing or dancing. "I love musicals, but I'm OK if I don't do another one," says Ramos. "It was a very nice gift to just say words and that's it. And jump off of things and fight. I love action." Fishback, starring in Donald Glover's "When I first decided that I wanted to act as a kid, I wanted to be versatile," says Fishback. "I want to do those award-winning movies. But I also want to do blockbusters." Visiting Brooklyn last year, Fishback took frequent subway rides, knowing that being an anonymous passenger might be impossible after "Transformers." "It was frustrating growing up, always having to catch the train," she says. "But I know after this, I might regret that I don't get to just take the train anymore."

You son of a gun, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts — I’m back in. Consider me as shocked as anyone to be genuinely excited for more Transformers movies after the disappointing-at-best Age of Extinction and The Last Knight. The one-two combo of Bumblebee and Rise of the Beasts is a course correction that unites beloved Transformer clans, introduces decent human characters, and spotlights metal-crunching action that’s an upgrade from the nondescript animated slop we’ve been served in Michael Bay’s last few movies. It’s certainly not going to win over the Academy (outside a possible special effects nomination), but director Steven Caple Jr. executes Rise of the Beasts as a get-the-job-done summer crowd-pleaser that makes me feel like a kid watching Saturday morning cartoons again, only on a grander and more exciting scale. Picking up the story after 2018’s Bumblee, Rise of the Beasts sticks to the ancient era of 1994, giving it some comfortable distance from the stink of Transformers movies we try not to talk about anymore. Anthony Ramos stars as Brooklyn electronics wiz and ex-soldier Noah Diaz, who acts as the Autobots’ human correspondent, and as he comically grapples with the reality of mechanized aliens driving Earth’s highways, the irreplaceable voice of Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime reveals a new artifact of the day that must be recovered before it falls into the hands of the world-eating, planet-sized villain Unicron. It’s exactly as cookie-cutter a plot as you’d expe...
