Trailer
Why watch this film?
You have to say it: 'Armageddon' isn't exactly a good movie, and some laws of physics are glaringly absent. However, the spectacular special effects, plus the "star power" of Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck made it a hugely successful movie at the time. Special mention for the main theme composed by Aerosmith, which is now considered a classic.

6 Underground
This is an action movie directed by Michael "Explosions" Bay, so if you've already seen 'Armageddon' or 'Transformers', you know exactly what to expect: explosive and fast-paced action. Within that, '6 Underground' brings a simple story, which serves only as a pretext for extremely visual and choreographed action. The big plus of the movie is the international cast, led by Ryan Reynolds ('Deadpool'), and including French Mélanie Laurent ('Inglourious Basterds'), Puerto Rican Adria Arjona ('Circle of Fire: The Revolt'), Mexican Manuel García-Rulfo ('Perfect Strangers') and English Ben Hardy ('Bohemian Rhapsody'), among others.
Ambulance
Michael Bay (known for the 'Transformers' saga) is undoubtedly a controversial director. Some love his explosive style, with frenzied action, explosions everywhere and a visual that resembles music videos. Others hate it, with no patience for his cinema that seems to come from an industrial park: always the same, with the same mannerisms and exaggerations of the story to the visuals. After all, 'Ambulance: A Crime Day' is an undeniably Michael Bay movie: even with much fewer explosions, it is an inflated action feature film, which exaggerates in tone, talking about a robbery that goes wrong and, desperate, two criminals (Jake Gyllenhaal and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) kidnap an ambulance with an injured policeman and a doctor inside (Eiza González). There are good moments here, especially when Bay gives up logic, embraces absurdity and flirts with surrealism in the pursuit that crosses the city of Los Angeles. Those who do not like Bay will be bothered by the amount of images made with drones and the exaggerated duration of 2h16. In the end, however, 'Ambulance: A Crime Day' may be the movie that opens up the most space for Michael Bay's detractors to dive headfirst into his cinema and, who knows, find some fun in this senseless but entertaining story.
Transformers
Directed by Michael Bay ('Pearl Harbor') and produced by Steven Spielberg ('Jurassic Park', 'Indiana Jones'), 'Transformers' is a true explosion of action and entertainment that continues to captivate fans worldwide. With groundbreaking visual effects for its time and a generous dose of explosions and pyrotechnics, the film and the franchise stand out as excellent cinematic experiences.The movie features an impressive ensemble cast, led by Shia LaBeouf ('Fury') and Megan Fox (Jennifer's Body) at the beginning of their careers. Based on a toy line that was initially showcased through comics and animations, the franchise's transition to the big screen created a titan among film franchises. It remains one of the most profitable to this day and a milestone in the world of science fiction and action blockbusters, thanks in part to the visually extravagant style characteristic of its director, Michael Bay.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
Under the direction of Michael Bay ('Pearl Harbor') and the production of Steven Spielberg ('Jurassic Park', 'Indiana Jones'), 'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen' is a thrilling sequel that takes the franchise to new heights. With even more impressive visual effects and breathtaking action sequences, the film delivers a global-scale cinematic experience.Shia LaBeouf ('Fury') and Megan Fox ('Jennifer's Body') return as the protagonists, adding charisma and intensity to their performances. Additionally, the cast is complemented by talented actors such as John Turturro and Tyrese Gibson, who elevate the film to another level. With a narrative full of twists and epic battles between Autobots and Decepticons, 'Revenge of the Fallen' promises to satisfy franchise fans and win over new admirers.
Transformers: Dark of the Moon
'Transformers: Dark of the Moon' brings back the partnership of Michael Bay ('Pearl Harbor') in the director's chair and Steven Spielberg ('Jurassic Park', 'Indiana Jones') as executive producer, ensuring the levels of technical precision and grandeur in visual effects, along with the director's trademark: unrestrained action. The film is quite similar in structure to its predecessor, but this time with a slightly diluted screenplay. Fewer complications in the plot give way to unrestrained action, which is inevitably the star of the show - a carefully orchestrated visual spectacle with elaborate choreography and a visual intensity that reaches new heights. For fans of the franchise, this film maintains and elevates the established parameters and does not disappoint those who know what to expect.
Transformers: Age of Extinction
Directed by Michael Bay ('Bad Boys'), 'Transformers: Age of Extinction' brings a renewal to the franchise with a new team of protagonists and a plot full of insane twists. The film introduces a new generation of Autobots and Decepticons, offering a fresh and exciting perspective for fans.Mark Wahlberg ('The Departed') takes on the lead role, bringing his energy and charisma to the story. The cast also includes notable performances by Stanley Tucci and Nicola Peltz. With large-scale action sequences, impressive visual effects, and a plot full of surprises, 'Age of Extinction' delivers a mind-blowing cinematic experience, and it is more cartoonish than ever before (literally, we have robotic dinosaurs breathing fire). The film is the wildest of the franchise, surpassing all previously established parameters. For lovers of science fiction and action.
Transformers: The Last Knight
Michael Bay returns one last time to wrap up his franchise with Transformers: The Last Knight. The final film in the saga under the director's helm brings a grand cinematic experience that aims to delve deeper into the mythology of the series, featuring an epic battle that transcends time.This time, we have Mark Wahlberg (from 'The Fighter') and Stanley Tucci ('The Devil Wears Prada') returning, along with some fresh faces in the cast, such as Anthony Hopkins ('The Silence of the Lambs'), Isabela Merced ('Dora and the Lost City of Gold'), and Laura Haddock ('Guardians of the Galaxy'), adding a sense of renewal to prevent the film from becoming stagnant. While it may stumble a bit in the storylines exploring the origins of the Transformers, the film enriches the mythology and, as always, impresses with its visual effects. It serves as an honest conclusion from Michael Bay to the franchise, delivering everything he has always established.
Sci-Fi & Fantasy
Dredd
In the future, America is a dystopian wasteland. The latest scourge is Ma-Ma, a prostitute-turned-drug pusher with a dangerous new drug and aims to take over the city. The only possibility of stopping her is an elite group of urban police called Judges, who combine the duties of judge, jury and executioner to deliver a brutal brand of swift justice. But even the top-ranking Judge, Dredd, discovers that taking down Ma-Ma isn’t as easy as it seems in this explosive adaptation of the hugely popular comic series.
Rebel Moon - Part Two: The Scargiver
The rebels gear up for battle against the Motherworld as unbreakable bonds are forged, heroes emerge — and legends are made.
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire
The MonsterVerse has successfully brought to the screen the battles of the two most iconic giant monsters in cinema, King Kong and Godzilla, the latter in its American reinterpretation. Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is a new chapter in the franchise, although, truth be told, it doesn't bring much new. The duo are now allies in a fight for the fate not only of the Earth's surface but also of the world of the "hollow earth," where the titans come from. Don't expect here the deep anti-war allegory of Godzilla Minus One, the far superior Japanese film released just a few months prior. Here it's about seeing giant monsters smack each other in the face, like an hour of wrestlers aboard monster trucks. If that's what you're looking for, it's the movie for you. If you prefer some more humanity in your films, it's better to pass.
Code 8: Part II
Code 8 was an unexpectedly successful film, putting Robbie (from the series Upload) and Stephen Amell (Arrow) back on the map and captivating audiences with a compelling science fiction story. Now, the saga returns with an intense plot: after witnessing her brother's murder and the subsequent cover-up, a teenage girl with abnormal abilities seeks the help of an ex-convict (Robbie Amell) and his former crime partner (Stephen Amell). Together, they confront a unit of corrupt police officers who use advanced robotic technology to avoid being exposed. A clever and entertaining sequel.
