Hideo Kojima is back with another mini-movie review, this time for Transformers One.

"I just watched Transformers One and it reminded me of when I watched X-Men: First Class," Kojima tweeted. "Maybe Transformers can be 3D CG animation. More comic-based IPs seem likely to transition from live-action to full 3D CG animation." 

This is high praise given that X-Men: First Class is Kojima's favorite X-Men movie, with the video game mogul posting about revisiting the film just this past July.

Transformers One tells the origin story of future enemies Orion Pax aka Optimus Prime (Chris Hemsworth) and Megatron (Brian Tyree Henry) and how they forever changed the fate of Cybertron, the planet and birthplace of the Transformers race.

The voice cast includes Scarlett Johansson as Elita, Keegan-Michael Key as B-127 / Bumblebee, Steve Buscemi as Starscream, Laurence Fishburne as Alpha Trion, Isaac C. Singleton Jr. as Darkwing, Vanessa Liguori as Airachnid, and Jon Hamm as Sentinel Prime.
