This movie shares the same plot as the last few movies. Look for some mystical item that will take the Autobots home, fight the bad guys, have a huge showdown, where the bad guys seem to win but lose in the end. The only thing this movie had that was different were the characters. I liked the addition of Mirage. The new characters in-and-of-themselves were refreshing and made the movie great, but I am tired of the same story playing out over and over again, which is why I gave it 3 stars. Other than that, the soundtrack, the cinematography, it was superb!

I don't know what I was expecting when I saw the trailer for this film. Honestly, the trailer hyped up this film way too much. After watching this film, the takeaways I got from it were: • This is like a cross between Stranger Things and Evil Dead: Racoon City, but it fails in the "scary-horror-thriller" department. I did not feel as though I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. It felt slow at the very beginning. I thought the dad would turn into The Boogeyman with how he was acting. That would have made for a really juicy story. Sadly, that is not what happened. I'm not too sure how the premise of a creature that only exists when it feeds off your grief makes logical sense. The teenage daughter was grieving more than the little sister, but the little sister saw the Boogeyman first? Something cannot exist, then cease to exist, then exist again. It's either there, or it's not. • The one good thing about this movie though is the actors were actually really good, which made the bland story come to life. Overall, this is something that they should've just released on Netflix and been done with it. I'm guessing money was lost from this film since it never debuted in the Dolby Sound Theaters. Would I watch it again? At home, yes. In the theater, no.
