In the present day, geologist Darcy Tirrel excavates the Transformium for K.S.I. Industries, which uses it to build man - made artificial Transformer drones. Five years after The Battle of Chicago, the humans have begun to view the Transformers as a threat, leading the U.S government to terminate all human - Autobot joint programs. Although the public believes that the Autobots have been granted sanctuary, they are being hunted by a rogue and xenophobic CIA black ops division known as Cemetery Wind, led by opportunistic government official Harold Attinger, who believes that all Transformers should be exterminated regardless of their faction. They are aided by Lockdown, a Cybertronian bounty hunter working for the Creators, promising to give Attinger a Seed if his division manages to capture Optimus Prime. Cemetery Wind locates Ratchet in Mexico City and Lockdown kills him when he refuses to give up the whereabouts of Optimus Prime. Optimus, damaged in Mexico City and disguised as a rundown semi-truck, is discovered in an abandoned theater by Cade Yeager, a financially struggling Texan inventor, and brings him back to the farm. While his teenage daughter Tessa and business partner Lucas Flannery encourage him to turn Optimus over to the authorities after realizing what he really is, Cade instead fixes Optimus, hoping to understand his technology and unexpectedly revives him. Still skeptical of Optimus and worried about Cade 's safety, Lucas calls Cemetery Wind, who attacks and destroys the farm, but Optimus and Tessa 's boyfriend, Irish rally car driver Shane Dyson, come to the family 's aid. While on the run from Cemetery Wind and Lockdown, Lucas is killed by one of Lockdown 's grenades. After escaping from their attackers, they take refuge in an abandoned gas station. Later, Optimus scans a passing truck and turns into a Western Star 5700 Phantom Custom truck with the original red and blue paint with flames. Optimus summons the surviving Autobots -- Bumblebee, Hound, Drift, and Crosshairs -- who have come to distrust humans due to Cemetery Wind constantly hunting them down. Using a CIA drone which he stole during the home invasion, Cade discovers K.S.I. 's involvement in the attacks on the Autobots. Infiltrating K.S.I. 's headquarters in Chicago, Cade discovers the remains of Autobots and Decepticons are being melted down to make the drones. Joshua Joyce, the ambitious company CEO, is in league with Attinger to revolutionize global defenses and improve human society using the Seed. He has captured Brains and is using him and Megatron 's head to create prototype Transformer soldiers Galvatron and Stinger. In a fit of rage, the Autobots storm the building where they rescue Brains and destroy the laboratory, but they soon leave after Joshua announces that they are no longer needed. Attinger forces Joshua to deploy Galvatron and Stinger to attack the Autobots. During the battle, Galvatron 's behavior becomes slightly erratic when he starts destroying vehicles. As Galvatron battles Optimus, it frees itself from control and speaks to Optimus. Lockdown then arrives and abducts both Optimus and Tessa while Galvatron and Stinger retreat, leaving Cade and Shane devastated. While Lockdown 's large prison spacecraft hovers over Chicago to hand over the Seed, Cade, Shane, and the Autobots use this opportunity to sneak on board and rescue Optimus and Tessa. They hijack a smaller ship, containing a number of other Autobots called the Dinobots, just before Lockdown leaves Earth. The Autobots reveal to Cade that `` Galvatron '' is in fact Megatron, who had transferred his consciousness into the Galvatron drone after K.S.I. officials had accidentally revived him. They realize that Galvatron is plotting to use the Seed and the K.S.I. drones to conquer the world, by detonating the Seed in Hong Kong. K.S.I. plans to use the Seed in the remote Mongolian desert to create vast amounts of usable Transformium. Cade informs of Megatron 's presence to Joshua, causing him to have a change of heart and agreeing to hand over the Seed with help from Darcy and his Chinese business associate Su Yueming. Back at the facility, Galvatron reactivates himself and takes control of the K.S.I. drones, and a battle follows in Hong Kong 's streets between Cade 's group, the Autobots, Cemetery Wind, Galvatron, and his drones. During the fight, Optimus wins the alliance of the Dinobots, who become essential to the Autobots ' victory while Bumblebee kills Stinger. Lockdown returns to capture Optimus and the Dinobots, using a large magnet in his ship that causes destruction to the city. After disabling the magnet, Optimus fights Lockdown at an abandoned factory. In the ensuing duel, Optimus kills Attinger ( who still deems all Cybertronians aside from Lockdown as a threat ) to save Cade, and avenging the deaths of his fellow Autobots. However, this allows Lockdown to pin Optimus down by impaling his chest with his own sword, damaging his spark. Cade, Bumblebee, Tessa, and Shane fight Lockdown, with Cade ending up fighting him one - on - one while Tessa and Shane use a tow truck to free Optimus, who destroys Lockdown and uses one of his grenades to finish off the remaining drones. Galvatron, the only surviving Decepticon, retreats, vowing he will return. Optimus tells the Autobots to protect the Yeagers ( with Joshua offering to help the Yeagers build a new home ) and lets the Dinobots go, before flying away into space with the Seed, sending a message to the Creators that he is coming for them.

The film topped the box office outside North America for four consecutive weekends despite coinciding with the 2014 FIFA World Cup before being overtaken by Dawn of the Planet of the Apes in its fifth weekend. International openings of over $5 million occurred in South Korea ( $21.7 million ), Brazil ( $16.5 million ), Germany ( $11.2 million ), Australia ( $9.6 million ), France ( $8.8 million ), Taiwan ( $8.1 million ), Malaysia ( $6.7 million ), Japan ( $6.4 million ), the Philippines ( $5.7 million ), India ( $5.35 million ), Hong Kong ( $5.1 million ), and Italy ( $5 million ).

In only 10 days of its release, it became the highest - grossing film in China with $222.74 million, thus overtaking Avatar 's previous record. Adding to the film 's revenue and popularity were product placements of Chinese brands edited into the movie specifically for Chinese audiences. It became the highest - grossing film in China, with $301 -- $320 million in revenue surpassing 2009 's record set by Avatar ( $204 million ), until it was surpassed by Furious 7 in 2015 over $390 million. It is also the first movie in China to gross more than $300 million at the box office. A large part of the success in China has been attributed to the large fan base there and because of its accompanying animated TV series -- which ran during the 1980s and 1990 -- was one of the highest quality TV programs at that time which resulted in many children getting attached to it. Transformers toy merchandising was one of the first successful cases by a foreign company in China at its time, its line of transforming robot toys was highly sought after, especially by boys. At the end of its theatrical run outside North America, the film earned $858,600,000 which is 77.8 % of its total gross. In total earnings, the highest revenue came from China ( $301 million ), Russia ( $45.2 million ), South Korea ( $43.3 million ), Germany ( $38.2 million ), Mexico ( $33.5 million ), and the UK ( $33.1 million ). Authenticity over North American Box Office opening The $100 million opening announced for Transformers : Age of Extinction is disputed within the industry. According to Rentrak -- which has a direct line into the vast majority of theatres in the United States and Canada to track actual ticket sales -- about 4,100 of the 4,233 theatres playing the film generated $95.9 million. The projected total from the Rentrak sales data would put the opening three - day weekend gross at around $97.5 million. For Transformers to have crossed the $100 million threshold, it would have needed to gross more than the nationwide average in the theatres not tracked by Rentrak. Some media outlets have elected to go with the Rentrak figure. Critical response On review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes the film has an approval rating of 18 % based on 188 reviews, with an average rating of 3.9 / 10. The site 's critical consensus reads, `` With the fourth installment in Michael Bay 's blockbuster Transformers franchise, nothing is in disguise : Fans of loud, effects - driven action will find satisfaction, and all others need not apply. '' On Metacritic, the film has a score of 32 out of 100, based on 38 critics, indicating `` generally unfavorable reviews ''. Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` A -- '' on an A+ to F scale. Richard Roeper gave the film a `` D '', saying that `` the longer the movie goes on, the less interesting it becomes ; it just wears you down. As we were finally reaching the 165 - minute mark, all that noise and fury was about as exciting as the special effects in an Ed Wood movie. '' Peter Travers of Rolling Stone gave the film zero out of four stars, calling it `` the worst and most worthless Transformers movie yet. '' Kyle Smith of the New York Post gave the film one - and - a-half out of four stars, commenting that `` This series was never good, but it was once fun, or at least flashy. Now that its gears have gone rusty, it 's time for an Alien vs. Predator - style rethink. '' A.O. Scott of The New York Times said in his review that `` The story is scaffolding for the action and like every other standing structure, it is wrecked in a thunderous shower of metal, glass, masonry, and earth. '' Clarence Tsui of The Hollywood Reporter commented on his review that it `` barely skirts the idea that humankind and planet Earth are about to be totally annihilated. What is extinguished is the audience 's consciousness after being bombarded for nearly three hours with overwrought emotions ( ' There 's a missile in the living room ! ' Tessa hollers -- twice ), bad one - liners, and battles that rarely rise above the banal. A trio of editors make a technical marvel out of the fight scenes, but can do little to link the story 's multiple threads into something coherent. '' Roth Cornet of IGN gave the film a score of 6.3 out of 10, praising the `` slightly darker / surprising tone and Lockdown and his ship while criticizing the logic / script issues and long running time. '' Joe Neumaier of the New York Daily News gave the film 1 out of five stars, commenting that `` If the ' human scenes ' all reek of adolescent dialogue and dopey snark masquerading as character development, it 's a toss - up if that 's better or worse than seeing clattering collections of caliginous junk. '' Home media Transformers : Age of Extinction was released on Blu - ray, DVD, and Blu - ray 3D formats on September 30, 2014, in North America. The film was also released on digital download through iTunes and Google Play on September 16, 2014. Accolades This article needs additional citations for verification.

See also Film portal List of films featuring drones Notes Jump up ^ The $100 million opening for Transformers : Age of Extinction is disputed within the industry. According to Rentrak -- which has a direct line into the vast majority of theaters in the United States and Canada to track actual ticket sales -- about 4,100 of the 4,233 theaters playing the film generated $95.9 million. The projected total from the Rentrak sales data would put the opening three - day weekend gross at around $97.5 million. For Transformers to have crossed the $100 million threshold, it would have needed to gross more than the nation - wide average in the theaters not tracked by Rentrak. Some media outlets have elected to go with the Rentrak figure. Jump up ^ A final number on Transformers : Age of Extinction tends to vary between the Paramount reported $301 million and local data that rises it to $320 million.
