Spoiler Alert: This article contains extensive spoilers for the 1997 film Tomorrow Never Dies.A James Bond picture is the last place you’d seek out for a gripping thriller that thoughtfully explores geo-politics. Though the 007 canon leans heavily into the world of espionage and real-world conflicts as a backdrop, producers tend to favor the least provocative material possible. Compared to the typical John le Carré adaptation, Bond plots veer into outright sci-fi.

The Transformers movie series has had a pretty shaky ride. For every Bumblebee, there’s been an Age of Extinction, a film so bad that it was compared favorably only to having a communicable disease. The bombastic franchise, revolving around the war between the alien factions of the Autobots and Decepticons, has been a fantastic financial success even as its individual offerings have often been met with lackluster critical response. But after several live-action films and hundreds of millions pulled in at the worldwide box office, the best film of the series is still the one that started it all: Transformers (2007).
