Oct 10 Transformers: The new 'Rise of the Beasts' is officially out on Blu-ray today and loaded with awesomeness

Keeping it 100? Transformers is such a legendary franchise through the ups and downs and while the middle flicks were a big hit or miss, the rebound with the standalone Bumblebee in 2018 being a box office smash ignited love the for brand all over again and now a hard-hitting 90’s-themed Transformers: Rise of the Beasts has arrived for your Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD needs.

The new ‘Transformers: Rise of the Beasts’ hits different on Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD

Whether you’re going all-out on your devices with upgrades like a 4K Ultra HD player or are using your Xbox Series X to get the same graphics, there’s something special about seeing an action-packed movie like Rise of the Beasts with the best quality possible. You already know the action is going to be hard-hitting and seeing it in such a format? Epic.

Having the luxury of seeing the movie on Blu-ray, I couldn’t help but geek out over what graced the screen. Now, you might be skeptical of picking up your very own physical version but as someone who has seen such quality movies and content disappear from my favorite streaming giants, it’s a no-brainer for me these days on flicks I ‘need’ to have at any given moment being owned by me. No Wi-Fi? No problem.

The new Rise of the Beasts is more than just a fun movie, though, and one of the best reasons to secure a physical version of this action flick? How about all of the bonus content? I’m always going to push for people to geek out over everything from extended scenes to director’s commentaries when it comes to owning physical versions of movies and not relying on just the copy/paste content you get from a streaming service.

Now to be greedy and honest? How about owning the Blu-ray for traveling to see family during the holidays and being able to get the Digital Code to go with the purchase? Pretty much a two-in-one. So whether you’re the digital-only type or want the physical version, you’re covered with the bonus features:
