🤖 Robert Pattinson says Michael Bay’s Transformers is the “definitive movie of the 2000s,” pointing to its ultra-bright colors, glossy finish, and unmistakable blockbuster aesthetic. ⠀ Pattinson made the comment during A24 and Letterboxd’s The List, where he argued that early-2000s movies often embraced far more saturated colors and polished visuals than many modern releases. ⠀ In his view, that entire visual trend essentially peaked with the original 2007 Transformers before the industry started moving toward a different look. ⠀ For car enthusiasts, the first film is still especially memorable for the way it turned machines into characters, with Bumblebee’s Camaro becoming one of the most recognizable movie cars of the era. ⠀ The combination of huge practical-looking set pieces, glossy automotive cinematography, metallic CGI, and Michael Bay’s aggressive camera work gave the movie a style that is almost impossible to separate from the late 2000s. ⠀ Pattinson appeared to be having some fun with the statement
