Bumblebee

《大黄蜂》

Serving as a prequel* to the previous “Transformers” installments dating back to 2007, “Bumblebee” represents an imaginative spinoff from the original films, providing an account of the fan-favorite character’s origins. As the first film in the series that isn’t directed by Michael Bay, “Bumblebee” centers on a teen girl as the movie’s protagonist*.

The film opens with a brief recap* of the events that drove the sentient robots to seek refuge* on Earth. On the distant planet Cybertron, the centuries-long civil war pitting the peace-loving Autobots against the power-hungry Decepticons reaches a critical stage, with the Autobots facing imminent* defeat. In desperation, Autobot leader Optimus Prime (making only a brief appearance here) tasks young soldier B-127 with establishing a foothold on Earth and protecting the planet and its inhabitants for the eventual arrival of the remaining Autobots.

Descending to Earth in the middle of a military exercise led by secretive government agency Sector 7 commander Jack Burns (John Cena) sometime in 1987, Bumblebee inadvertently* announces his arrival with a spectacular crash-landing that quickly becomes an intense firefight as Burns and his soldiers try to capture Bumblebee.

This early sequence is followed by the arrival of a Decepticon pursuer intent on destroying Bumblebee, who, however, escapes his pursuers and rests in a San Francisco Bay Area junkyard after transforming into a faded yellow 1967 Volkswagen Beetle.

That’s where Charlie Watson (Hailee Steinfeld) discovers the Autobot while finding spare parts to remodel the classic 1959 Corvette treasured by her dad, who died of a heart attack while she was in high school.

When Charlie gets the Bug home, however, she’s shocked to witness the car’s sudden transition to robot form and nicknames B-127 “Bumblebee” once she gets over her initial shock.

Charlie and Bumblebee become fast friends. Meanwhile, Bumblebee’s troubles are quickly catching up with him, as new Decepticon arrivals Dropkick (voiced by Justin Theroux) and his commander Shatter (Angela Bassett, in the series’ first female Transformer role) partner with the leaders of Sector 7 and a suspicious Burns to hunt him down at any cost.
