The Transformers are back! Yep it is time to witness another slap down between the heroic Autobots and their human allies against the villainous Decepticons.

This time around, however, there really is “more than meets the eye” as Optimus Prime has gone rogue, becoming a “Nemesis” to all mankind in Transformers: The Last Knight!

Quintessa

The story picks up where the last film left off with Prime heading to Cybertron to meet his maker–literally. He arrives on his dying world to meet Quintessa, a female transformer and his creator. With a slap she seemingly brainwashes him into helping her revive Cyberton at Earth’s expense. Back on Earth, war rages between the world’s militaries and Transformers as waves of them continue to come to the planet. All Transformers, including, the Autobots are deemed enemies. Cade Yeager (Mark Wahlberg), continues to stand by his Autobot comrades, finding refuge in a junkyard on Indian territory by “hiding in plain sight.” However, uneasy alliances are formed when an ancient Cybertronian staff that grants its wielder immense power comes into play. Quintessa wishes to use it to restore Cybertron while Cade, Bumblebee, and a few ancient Transformers must come together to literally keep worlds from colliding!

#GirlPower! We Are Here For “Cars 3 (@pixarcars)!”

It has been quite awhile since visited the world of Disney and Pixar’s Cars–six years to be exact! It is is no secret that we love ourselves some animated movies here at HeyMikeyATL, and the Cars franchise is definitely close to the top of the list of our favorite animated films of all times.

Well the resident champion of Cars 3, Lightning McQueen, is back and this time around he is in a race against an entity he probably can’t beat…TIME.

Lighting’s latest racing season begins as usual with him reminiscing on his mentor Doc, and preparing with his hometown friends for the biggest races in the world of Cars. As always, racing season is a time of celebration, fun, and reunions with old friends and rivals. However, all familiarity is shaken–and begins to crumble–with a surprising win from rookie, Jackson Storm. Jackson is haute, disrespectful, and most of all the face of a new wave of racers designed to be sleeker, stronger, and of course faster! Lightning and his compatriots soon find themselves left in the dust. After a tragic accident, Mr. McQueen finds himself back at the drawing board, itching for a comeback. However, it will not be easy with “youngsters” like Jackson in play. It will take all of Lightning’s skills, knowledge, and a surprising new, heroine, to set the world Cars back on track!

Honestly, we have to say WE LOVE CARS! This film is yet another in a wave of Summer 2017 films that are showcasing Girl Power! Wonder Woman will have every little girl in the world begging for a sword and shield, but Cars will have them storm the gateways of Nascar and be looking to drive their own Cruz Ramirezes! If this is the last film in the franchise we are happy to see it end on an amazingly sweet and powerful note! Let here it for the girls AND LIGHTNING MCQUEEN!

You can catch Cars 3 in theaters everywhere Friday, June 16th!

[VIDEO] In Case You Missed It! Marvel Releases Teaser Trailer for “Black Panther” (@theblackpanther) Movie!

Superhero movies are here to stay! In fact, you can expect nearly thirty over the next few years studios everywhere seem to be trying to get in on the action. Marvel, however, still reigns supreme with its Cinematic Universe. The studio continues to crank out superhero films that routinely deliver on the story, action, and adventure. Although we love all of Marvels’ heroic films, few are as anticipated as Black Panther!

As you already know actor Chadwick Boseman has been cast the titular character alongside Lupita Nyong’o, Michael B. Jordan, Angela Bassett, and Winston Duke.

Marvel as released a teaser trailer for Black Panther that you can check out below!

This teaser is EVERYTHING! We love getting to see more of Wakanda’s landscape, it truly is a marvel where technology and nature coexist peacefully. Even more importantly we get to see Black Panther in action! This hero is bad ass, the way he takes on those invaders and that car chase are amazing. We love the sheer number of super villains we saw too Eric Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan) Klaw (Andy Serkis), and Man-Ape (Winston Duke)!

From the looks of it, Wakanda is surrounded by danger and someone is looking to take it over–a few factions to be exact. It will not be easy, however, especially when The Dora Milaje and an entire military have his back. In the comics the mysterious African nation has NEVER been successfully invaded–not even from an alien invasion. What do you guys think of the teaser? Let us know in the comics’ section below.

Black Panther premieres February 16, 2018 in theaters nationwide! Check back here for more info on the film as it becomes available!

[VIDEO] “It Comes At Night” (@ItComesAtNight) Leaves You In The Dark…And Wondering…

Suspense and horror films usually make for a pretty awesome night. Especially when you combine it with a hot date!

However, some movies need a bit more backstory and resolution than others. Writer/director Trey Edward Shults’ It Comes At Night is definitely one of those films.

The film is set in what appears to be a world being ravaged by a pandemic that infects humans and animals alike. It centers on an interracial family consisting of a man, his wife, and son who have managed to survive in the mountains by sticking to a strict domestic routine, rationing their food, purifying their water, and never going out alone at night. Their haven is threatened, however, when a young family arrives seeking sanctuary. Herein lies a tale of suspense as issues of trust, family, love, and survival show the best and absolute worst of humanity when it comes to surviving what may very well be the end of the world.

[VIDEO] “I believe in love.” Wonder Woman Movie (@WonderWomanFilm) is The BEST Superhero Film to Date!

Kudos, Kudos, and more KUDOS to the Zack Snyder, DC Comics, and the folks at Warner Bros. Entertainment!

The Wonder Woman movie is a mega-hit!

The action, the casting, story, and drama all mix together for one hell of a film that surpasses anything DC, or Marvel, for that matter has released. After attending an Atlanta screening we see why it has earned a whopping 97% rating from Rotten Tomatoes!

The film is an origin story of Princess Diana, the only child of Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons, a race of immortal, warrior women created by the Olympian gods. The Amazons reside on Themyscira, a mystical island, hidden from the outside the world where men are forbidden. Diana, despite her mother’s initial wishes, is trained by her aunt, Antiope, to become the greatest warrior among them. It is hinted that she is no regular Amazon and is thus trained ten times harder than the rest of her people.
