Bumblebee

The small but feisty fan-favorite Autobot takes center stage in this "Transformers" spinoff/prequel set in the late '80s, as a damaged Bumblebee (voiced by Dylan O'Brien) takes refuge in a Southern California junkyard... and finds a friend and protector in unhappy teen Charlie Watson (Hailee Steinfeld). She may not be enough, between an implacable government agent (John Cena) and a faction of Decepticons weary of hiding. With Pamela Adlon and the voices of Angela Bassett, Justin Theroux. 113 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
