It’s a dark, satisfying sci-fi adventure with an exceptional vocal cast that includes Orson Welles as Unicron, Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime, Frank Welker as Megatron, and “Star Trek’s” Leonard Nimoy as Galvatron.<\/p>\n
“Hasbro and Fathom Entertainment would like to formally invite you back to the scene of the crime,\u201d states the official anniversary event synopsis. “Forty years after ‘The Transformers: The Movie’ did what it did to Optimus Prime, The Apology Tour 40th Anniversary Screening brings the film back to theaters\u2026with four decades of hindsight and one very overdue ‘our bad.’ Relive the moment in the place where your world was changed forever. Not changing history. Just finally celebrating it. Because forty years later, it still hits like a truck.”<\/p>\n\n“For decades, Transformers fans have carried this film with them, which is a testament to its storytelling and lasting cultural impact,” Alyse D\u2019Antuono, Vice President, Global Brand & Franchise Strategy, Action Brands, Hasbro, said in a press release. “Bringing it back to theaters is an opportunity for longtime fans to relive it together, and for new audiences to experience a defining chapter of Transformers history.”<\/p>\n
