Anthony Ramos excited for the movie
Anthony Ramos who stars in the movie filled in Complex why he thinks fans like the Transformers so much.
“I mean there’s a movie about these fantastical alien robots from another planet. They do all these amazing things. They’re larger than life and I think there’s something exciting about seeing larger-than-life characters on the big screen because that’s what we go to the movies to see. I think there’s this escapism that we get when we go to the movies that Transformers and these kinds of movies give us. We get to see a depiction of the world that in a way, it’s a what if? “What if the world was like this?” kind of way to watch a movie,” said Ramos.
Ramos continued, “There’s an excitement for me ever since I was a kid watching a movie like that. And then we get to see these characters. We relate to Bumblebee and Prime and we get to know them and they have these personalities and we feel like we relate to them. Then there’s the human element and how they connect to the robots and I think that’s what makes these movies so special. And not to mention the special effects and the cool stuff that they do in post and the crazy fights and all that.”
