I heard this is something like the 7th entry in the main 'Transformers' non-cartoon movie series.

7.

I still remember the first.

This is also a prequel, of sorts, set during the 1990s instead of the more contemporary setting of the earlier (mid 2000) movies, with a new cast of human characters alongside the Autobots and - here - the Terracons and the Maximals.

For some reason, however, I found it not to be as engaging as those earlier (maximum Bayhem!) entries, even though it is clearer on just what is happening - maybe it's the fusion of sound and vision that's missing?

Anyway, it's not bad but I still prefer the first two entries in particular (before it all went massively downhill).

I think I might have to make a new genre for this to fit into - rom-com adventure conspiracy action movie maybe?

Anyway, in this Ryan Gosling plays a stuntman who - after a near fatal accident (or was it?) - broke off all contact with his former co-workers, including his girlfriend (as played by Emily Blunt), until he is eventually pulled back into the making of a new movie, directed by said former partner, after the star of the movie (who he was previously the body double for, pre-accident) goes missing.

This movie, then, is really about a movie-within-a-movie, playing heavy attention to the oft-overlooked role of the professional stuntmen (and women) in Hollywood blockbusters.
