    Damn this was good, definitely one of the best of 2025 so far. Soderbergh’s films always hit, one of my favorite directors so glad he’s having this year so far.

I think here they find a good balance between Bay’s earlier films and BumbleBee, which is interesting because where Bay loves to blend practical with his visual effects to add to the thrill, the film is able to still capture that same thrill digitally, like the action sequences here are so polished, so fun. It’s an absolute must see on the big screen.  With every film in this franchise, the…
