Transformers: Age of Extinction

Plot synopsis:
After defeating Sentinel Prime and Megatron's army in Chicago, the Autobots have gone into hiding after the government deemed all transformers as threats, and thus, began to hunt them all down. The government has thus replaced the Autobots with their own transformers using technology from the fallen transformers. Meanwhile, a mechanic, his daughter, and his daughter's boyfriend become dragged into the conflict upon discovering Optimus Prime in their possession, and all the while, a mysterious new enemy, Lockdown, sets his eyes on earth._________In the three years since the Battle of Chicago, the Transformers have become outlaws. At the behest of CIA Agent Harold Attinger (Kelsey Grammer), a major campaign has been brought about to hunt down and destroy and and all Autobots or Decepticons that are still active.Unknown to several different parties, Attinger is also working with an intergalactic bounty hunter named Lockdown (Mark Ryan). Working with a mercenary team known as The Cemetery Wind (led by James Savoy (Titus Welliver)), the group manages to find the Autobot Ratchet hiding in Mexico. After wounding the former Autobot medical officer, Lockdown demands to know where Optimus Prime is. When Ratchet refuses to tell, Lockdown rips Ratchet's 'spark' from his chest, and hands it over to Savoy and his team.Meanwhile, in Paris, Texas, inventor Cade Yeager (Mark Wahlberg) and his partner Lucas Flannery (T.J. Miller) investigate an old movie theater for mechanical pieces they can probably salvage. While going through the dilapidated auditorium, Cade is amazed to find a flat-nosed semi truck hidden amongst the debris. Stranger still, the former theater's owner has no recollection of how it got there!Cade purchases several of the theater's mechanical pieces intending to refurbish them, and the semi rig, intending to strip it down for parts. Needless to say, his daughter Tessa (Nicola Peltz) does not find his latest endeavor as anything more than her father shirking his responsibilities (their home is in danger of foreclosure, and Cade has been siphoning power from a neighbor). Cade still contends that his inventions and intentions will yield results, and help pay the way for Tessa to go to college.While going over the semi-truck, Cade is surprised to find that the insides of the truck still activate, even though various mechanisms should have been damaged given its damaged state. When Cade hooks up a battery to the engine, and hears a booming voice say "Calling all Autobots," the inventor is sure he's found a Transformer!Lucas claims that if they report the truck to the government, they could make $25-100,000 off of the find, which Tessa also backs up as a good idea (given that the money will pay off their debts, and give them some money she can use for going to college). However, Cade refuses, and instead wants to restore the truck, and investigate what makes it tick, confident that its alien technology can help him make his own creations work.As he attempts to fix up the truck, it violently transforms before them all, into Optimus Prime (Peter Cullen). Optimus at first thinks that Cade and the others are there to hurt him, but Cade assures Optimus that he just wants to help. Optimus then tells how he was ambushed, and sent a message to the rest of his Autobot colleagues to hide, as an unknown party wants to hunt them down.Things heat up when someone reports Cade's purchase of the semi truck, and soon, the Cemetary Wind are dispatched to Cade's property, where Savoy threatens to kill Tessa unless Cade gives them Optimus. Hearing Cade and his family is in danger, Optimus blows his cover, attempting to buy his human comrades some time to escape. In the firefight, Cade manages to grab a small drone that the Cemetary Wind guys are using.Luckily, Tessa' (secret) boyfriend Shane Dyson (Jack Reynor) just happened to be coming by in his Rally Racer, and they pile in as Savoy and his men give chase. Optimus himself takes off, but is soon accousted by a grey Lamborghini, which is Lockdown! Both battles collide in the ruins of an old factory, where Shane's rally-racing skills help them take off most of the Cemetary Wind's crew. However, when the axle breaks, the group runs for it, but not before Lockdown unleashes a flash-metal weapon, that catches Lucas, encasing him in metal, as Cade, Tessa, and Shane jump into Optimus and drive away.Optimus takes the humans to a dilapidated Gas Station, and drives off for bit, to make sure they haven't been followed. At the station, Cade is incensed that his daughter was seeing a boy behind his back (as he had forbid her to date anyone), though Shane and Tessa insist that they have known each other since high school. When Cade mentions Lucas' Irish accent, the young man mentions that he came to the states to Rally Race (and currently has Red Bull as a sponsor). However, given that his means of racing has been wrecked, he is willing to stick with Cade and Tessa, though mainly to take care of his girlfriend.After the spat, Cade manages to use some technology in the old station, and hacks into the mini-drone he grabbed during the firefight. He is able to view the imagery it has recorded, including images that show the destruction of Autobots Ratchet, and Leadfoot, by the Cemetary Wind crew.When Optimus Prime returns the next day, the group heads west towards Monument Valley, but not before stopping off at a small ATM. Using the drone, Cade attempts to have it use his ATM card, only to find that certain parties have locked his account. Needless to say, the transaction attempt is found out by Attinger, and a group of police cars quickly descend on the location looking for Cade, but the group is long gone.As they near Monument Valley, Optimus scans a passing long-nose semi truck, and his exterior turns into a flashier, more modern semi rig, complete with red flames on a blue body. Pulling up into Monument Valley, several other Autobots emerge from hiding: Hound (John Goodman), Drift (Ken Watanabe), Crosshairs (John DiMaggio), and Bumblebee.The other Autobots are wary of the humans Optimus has brought, but soften when their leader tells how they have helped him. Shortly afterwards, Cade shows the group the mini-drone's footage, and the other Autobots want to find out why they are being hunted. Cade also wishes to help them, to find out the people responsible for threatening his family.Their investigation leads them to a company named KSI, located in Chicago, Illinois. KSI is headed by future-tech wunderkind Joshua Joyce (Stanley Tucci), who has been working with Chinese Entrepreneur Su Yueming (Bingbing Li) and Harold Attinger, to create man-made Transformers, to eventually be used for Military use.Studying the remains of Megatron, Sentinel Prime, and numerous other pieces of alien hardware from after the Chicago war, the group has managed to synthesize a metal called "Transformium," which when given commands through a computer, can be manipulated into various shapes.KSI has already made a drone based around Bumblebee's design, named Stinger, but Joyce's major project is an even bigger drone that he has named Galvatron. However, the attempts to make Galvatron to Joyce's standards has not worked, as all prototypes have been unable to form properly from the Transformium used, and the final robot design does not meet Joyce's request to make it resemble Optimus Prime.With Bumblebee's help, Cade and Shane manage to have fake ID badges made, and Cade manages to infiltrate KSI. Using the mini-drone, Cade beams imagery back to the Autobots about what he is seeing, including a small Autobot named Brains (Reno Wilson), and the severed head of Ratchet, which is being melted down to obtain the Transformium material within him.Unfortunately, the use of Cade's ID badge is found to be fake, and he is caught by security, and taken to see Attinger. Attinger tells Cade that what he has seen is a precaution, to make sure that the world will be safe, and demands to know where Optimus Prime is. However, Cade still refuses to talk.The image of a fallen comrade's remains being mutilated sends Prime into a fury, and he leads the Autobots on a charge into KSI's facilities. Bee manages to rescue Cade from Attinger's office, and the group then breaks into the manufacturing floor, intending to destroy the works before Joshua Joyce appears. Joyce claims that what is being done is as a deterrent to any further Transformer damage, and claims that the humans "don't need" the Autobots anymore. The group does manage to free Brains from his captivity.Optimus Prime then leads the others out of the factory, only for Attinger to then accost Joyce, claiming the Autobots have pretty much declared "open war" on the humans by breaking into the factory. Attinger is able to coerce Joyce into using Stinger and Galvatron to take down the Autobots. On a highway leading out of Chicago, the two human-controlled drones transform, and attempt to take down the Autobots.Of the two, it is Galvatron who is sent after Optimus Prime, who attempts to stab Galvatron in his 'spark chamber,' but finds none. When Prime is surprised that his combatant doesn't have a spark, the human-made Transformer growls, "that is why I have no fear!"Suddenly, a volley of shots knocks Optimus Prime to the ground, and Lockdown and his ship appear. As Galvatron then drives away, Lockdown glowers over Optimus Prime, telling him that his Creators "want him back." A net is then deployed, and Optimus Prime is hoisted up into Lockdown's ship, along with a nearby vehicle.It happens that Tessa had sought refuge in the vehicle, and Cade attempts to get her out, but fails.Lockdown then has Optimus Prime put in a cage, and Optimus Prime notes several other aliens in cages. He is also informed that the ship was originally used by a group of Legendary Knights, until Lockdown converted it into his prison ship. As the ship makes it's way over Chicago, Attinger is informed of Optimus Prime's capture, and arranges for Savoy to meet on Lockdown's ship. Though a number of government agencies want to fire on the ship, Attinger uses his clout to call a cease fire, claiming he has "an asset" on the ship.As it flies low over a bridge, Cade, Shane, and the other Transformers clamber aboard. While the Autobots manage to rescue Optimus Prime, Cade and Shane find Tessa, who has seen Savoy take receipt of a silver object called "the Seed" from Lockdown, as part of the deal for capturing Optimus Prime. Cade and Shane also find their way into a strange weaponry, and Cade takes possession of a sword that opens into a laser gun.To cause a distraction, Crosshairs has the ship's docking cables deploy, causing them to attach to The Willis Tower, and stop the ship from warping into space. This allows Cade, Shane, and Tessa to scale down onto the tower with Bumblebee's help.Crosshairs soon appears in a gunship, and the group hope aboard, as several gunships from Lockdown's ship give chase.Meanwhile, having finally detached the mooring cables, Lockdown prepares to go into warp, but Prime and the others find his prison cell is actually a detachable ship, and fly away before they can go into space, with Optimus Prime certain Lockdown will be far away before he finds out what has happened.Back at KSI, it is decided that in order to continue operations, all the equipment will be moved to their Hong Kong facility. Joyce is also upset that control of Galvatron in the fight was lost at several points... let alone that the Transformer spoke (something it was not programmed to do)!The Autobots and humans regroup near a train yard, where Optimus Prime says that during his fight with Galvatron, he sensed the presence of his old nemesis: Megatron. Brains then confirms this, as he was forced to decipher functionality still present in the Decepticon's brain, which helped formulate the building of Galvatron's body (and explains why Joshua Joyce could not get the system to make Galvatron resemble Optimus Prime). Galvatron also used his knowledge to allow Joyce to build Stinger and the other drones, with plans to turn them into Galvatron's new army.Tessa soon explains about the seed she saw, and Optimus explains about how their creators used the seed, to wipe out species on planets, and harvest life-giving metal... the kind that created them, the Transformers!Drift then intercepts a communications message containing information that Joyce is going to KSI's factory in China. After finding this out, Cade calls Joyce, and relays what they have learned regarding Galvatron. Knowing Joyce is also an inventor with a heart, Cade pleads with Joyce to deactivate Galvatron before things escalate.As the police are arriving at the train yard, Cade, Tessa and Shane join the Autobots on the spaceship. But Optimus Prime states that the Autobots are going to Hong Kong to retrieve the Seed, but after that, they are done defending the humans. Cade voices out his disagreement over this to no response by Optimus Prime.It is shown that Lockdown finally realizes that his captive had escaped from him, and the transformer insists to his pilot to reverse course and head back to Earth. Lockdown grumbles about Optimus Prime taking his 'trophy case' and that the Prime shall feel Lockdown's wrath for it.Joyce then meets with Attinger and Savoy, who present him with the Seed. Joyce's plans are to detonate the seed in a region of the Mongolian desert, then harvest the results, which should give them enough Transformium to increase production for Military use. Attinger is eager for them to now ramp up production, but grows incensed when Joyce thinks they should slow down (obviously moved by Cade's premonition).Meanwhile, on the factory floor, Galvatron suddenly activates, and begins to infect the other KSI-created Transformers (of which there are over 50!).Joyce quickly has Attinger and Savoy shuffled out of the building when the alarm goes off regarding Galvatron. He then gets into a car with Yueming and an associated named Darcy (Sophia Myles), along with the seed.As the three drive away, they soon decide they need to find a place to hide the seed. As dawn rises, Darcy drives off in their car to create a diversion, while Yueming attempts to help Joyce get the seed out of the city. During their escape, Joyce texts his scientists to find out the blast radius of the seed... and is told that it has the range of a thermo-nuclear device!As Joyce takes refuge on a rooftop, the Autobots' ship approaches, and attempt to scoop up Joyce and the seed. However, Galvatron and his drones have appeared, and attempt to shoot down the ship. This causes the humans, Bumblebee, and Hound to spill out of the open gantry, as the ship spirals off into a mountainous area nearby, with Prime, Crosshairs, and Drift (along with the captured Legendary Knights aboard).As Hound and Bumblebee attempt to fight off the drones, the Cade and the others attempt to get down from the roof, only to be fired on by Savoy nearby! Cade draws Savoy off, and the two have a chase across the rooftops, before a fight in a small apartment sends Savoy out a window to his death.Attinger who has witnessed the death of Savoy, then receives a message from Lockdown. Attinger then confirms to Lockdown that Prime is nearby, and Lockdown begins his journey back to Earth.Meanwhile, Hound and Bumblebee are greatly outnumbered by the drones, and radio their situation to their friends. Optimus then takes one of the swords from the ship, and frees the other Legendary Knights who were captured aboard the ship: aka, the Dinobots! Prime promises their freedom if they will help the Autobots. With that, the 4 released beings transform, and head towards the fight!With their help, the Autobots manage to destroy the drones, but Galvatron escapes in the fight while Stinger is killed by Bumblebee. However, the mood is broken when Lockdown's ship appears, and begins to suck up anything metal! It almost ends up taking the seed and Optimus, before the Prime uses his weapons, disables its anti-gravity mechanism!Prime then follows the ship to a silo on an island off of Hong Kong, where Lockdown descends, angered and ready to destroy the bounty that took his trophies!Cade rushes off to help Optimus, but is accosted by Attinger, who is willing to kill Cade for disrupting his plans. However, in the fight nearby, Optimus notices Cade in danger, and fires on Attinger, killing him instantly! However, this move leaves Prime wide open, and Lockdown impales Optimus with his own sword!Just when it looks like the end, Bumblebee returns, with Shane and Tessa, who use a nearby tow truck and its cable to help knock Lockdown off his feet, and pull the sword from Optimus' chest. Just as it seems Lockdown is about to dispatch Cade!, the help manages to allow Optimus to finally slice Lockdown in half, killing the villainous bounty hunter.Optimus then uses Lockdown's grenade to destroy all the remaining KSI Drones, before escaping with the Yeagers and Shane, Galvatron realizes this and uses Lockdown's ship to flee, but before departing his last words are "We shall meet again Prime! For I am reborn!"In the aftermath, Optimus tells the other Autobots and his human comrades who have helped him, that there is still someone looking for him. He intends to take the seed away from Earth, and possibly try to find out who sent Lockdown after him.Using some rocket boosters in his feet, Optimus shoots out of the Atmosphere, and into space... intent to find his Creators.

Review:
Wahlberg is always fun to watch and the main chick is cute but the last 1.5 hours is straight action and no plot and I wanted to walk out before I had a seizure.Special effects were visually pleasing, but would have been better if I cared what was going on.
I tried so hard to be interested in this flick but I found myself looking at my watch obsessively for the last hour.On the lighter side, the idea behind the plot was interesting and though provoking but poorly executed on screen.I have never written a review before, but this movie was so utterly disappointing that I felt obligated to warn humanity.
I had hopes that the age of extinction would clear some of the plot holes i saw from the dark of the moon, and after seeing the movie trailers I became somewhat excited and felt all warm inside.I brought my two boys with me, bought some overpriced pop-corns and sugar drinks to stimulate my mind so that my brain could focus and absorb the new concept of the story, hoping to satisfy my hunger for unanswered questions that left my joy decimated at the last series.I like Walhberg during action scenes, but not when he starts making lame dialogues.
I feeling a bit better now.In the end i figure this movie suits those who don't care too much about story lines and great characters and dialogues.
The whole movie has some Logan vibes to it, of course without very deep conflict and not near as much emotion.I guess people still go into the movies and watch Transformers with some kind of expectation about a surprisingly good plot or expect that Bay suddenly changes his style from brainless explosion slaughter to something deep.
this is the really the worst movie i have seen this year.Let me make this short .It is extremely boring .I wanted to get out of the theater is mid way.plot is confusing.action and graphics are excellent,but whats the point when there is no story.above average acting,repeatedly irritating jokes,unnecessary music .music is good but it is added at unnecessary places.the movie could have been wrapped up in 30 min but it almost stretched for 3 hours.older actor was definitely a better actor.you wont be able to sit throughout the film if you haven't watched the other parts,but even if you have watched the other parts it wont make much of a difference.Don't waste you time and money for this movie..
as far as mindless entertainment goes,this a pretty good film.it fill you up while are watching but leaves empty after it's over.there is some new blood injected into the series this time around.No Shia LaBeouf or Megan this time around.the characters and the actors are different.this time around we have Cade Yeager(Marl Wahlberg)and and his daughter(Nicola Pelt(whose biggest claim to fame so far has been appearing in the flop The Last Airbender,which was awful but not her fault),as the main human characters.Stanley Tucci has some very funny scenes,and Kelsey Grammar injects some gravitas into the proceedings.one problem I had with the film-it was a tad too long.they could have excised twenty to thirty minutes of the running time.that is my biggest complaint.otherwise,pretty decent.for me,Transformers: Age of Extinction is a 7/10.
The rating of the movie may please be changed to "strictly for infants" instead of "PG-13".No story, no thrill!Its just 2&1/2 hours of time waste.Why the Megatron (regenerated) robots where transforming to car and trucks?
Personally, I think this was a good move because the series needed a fresh start again, and a new storyline to pursue instead of lingering on to Sam Witwicky.First of all, it's important to say that we already know what's coming in this movie: a LOT of CGI and epic action scenes.
I've heard a lot of people say that they hated this film because the storyline sucked and that it wasn't worth their money, but in all honesty, you're not paying to see a Transformers movie for the acting or the drama.
For those who really enjoy special effects and have enjoyed any of the previous Transformers films, I'd highly recommend watching this one because I think it's one of the best out of all 4.
For those who have never seen a Transformers film, I'd still recommend giving it a go because it's a new story with new characters, and it's 3 hours of amazing special effects...so it's well worth the money to sit through the entire thing..
Can't wait for the next please go up to Number 10, I just pray you never stop making these films, truly a work of art.I watched the film and was breathtaken , wasn't expecting it to be that good, however I was wrong "I'm only human" and whoever labels this film any lower than a 8, you need to visit a doctor because all the actors performed like they were actually living th character they portrayed.
SHOWERSKnowing the reputation of the "Transformers" movie series prior to watching the fourth installment, "Transformers: Age of Extinction," could drown anyone into a disconcerting state, but the film is worse than trailers suggest.
Between the three story lines (Mark Wahlberg's family, the CIA, and the transformium scientists), the film is so bloated that it would pop like a balloon if plucked with a pin.Riveting films excuse themselves from the criticism of having longer running-times, but "Transformers: Age of Extinction" loses its audience in the second half with nebulous and confusing storyline shifts.
It is loaded with great action scenes galore, interesting characters,and what we all come mostly to watch these kinds of movies for,the Transformers robots themselves.It is also one of the best 3D movies that I have ever seen.
It easy totake shots at director Michael Bay, but he gets the last laugh, cause he is making millions off this.The effects are just as good, the battle scenes between the transformers is quite impressive.
Do they just not like robots that transform or do they really just hate Michael Bay that much that anything he touches they are ready to crap on it when they see the first trailer.So many people are saying the Turtles movie is going to be crap and that was last year before they even saw a trailer!
People said there wasn't enough focus on the robots this one is all about the robots and their technology and history.This one is better in every way the jokes are funnier, its seems more believable (it is a movie about Transforming robots don't forget), the shots are amazing, and say what you want about Michael Bay's stories but when it comes to pure action scenes he is one of the best!So when i see these 1 star reviews it's obvious that these people wanted to hate this movie before they saw it because everything they were bitching about was basically fixed.
Movie Review: "Transformers: Age of Extinction" (2014)When the Transformers movie series seems at its ultra-heights with "Dark of the Moon" (2011) witnessing a sky-jumping science-fiction-action sequence in Mid-Town Chicago lasting up to consecutive 50 minutes with a thrilling hyper-computer-generated fight scene supervised by Lucasfilm Ltd. affiliate Industrial, Light and Magic (ILM) between Optimus and double-crossing Sentinel Prime plus a classy Megatron interference to build a full triangle on south bridge, comes along "Age of Extinction" continuesly directed by Michael Bay pushing Hollywood star Mark Wahlberg as newly-introduced father-of-one inventor to become a full throttle event movie ride of an exceptional 155-Minute-Editorial additional fixed by Academy-Award-winning editor William Goldenberg, when despite brutal-rating-drops on the U.S. domestic market in Summer 2014, executive producer Steven Spielberg and director-vision-ensuring as on-set-patroling producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura have a prevailing stand-alone Transformer hit movie, especially on the ongoing home entertaining VOD market that delivers not only a throughout joy-loving supporting cast, including further-introductions, daughter-playing Nicola Peltz, Stanley Tucci as the scene-stealing super-entrepreneur Joshua Joyce ruling a whole facility of metal transforming alien-genes before shifts from Texas, USA to the exotic location of Shanghai, China fulfills the promise of eagerly-awaited awakenings of the dinobots in a fierce battle of clinking metals, earth-mud splashes as mechanic liquids spoiling proportions.© 2018 Felix Alexander Dausend
The transformers are finally getting some character development.The few bots that don't have much screen time I'm completely OK with.As I said before, they did a great job setting up for the next film and those few characters who needed a bit more of the spotlight will definitely be back.
I agree that tf2 is bad and mindless, tf3 is just not that good, and this movie is the BIG improvement from Michael Bay. The characters are interesting and more enjoyable to be followed.
I see reviews of people complaining about the lack of plot lines, character development and blahblahblah...C'mon peoples, this is a franchise about Alien-robots.If you want movies with depth go see one in an arty farty theater.
And as for poor acting, I thought it was okay, and I would like to point out that none of the Transformers films are known for fantastic acting either.The plot in this film is fantastic, but probably requires one to actually pay attention and read between the lines a little more than in the previous 3, and maybe that leads to poor reviews by people who are unable to do this.It's ending is probably less cheesy than previous films, and is certainly left wide open for additional films, as it leaves you with more questions about the future than any of its predecessors.
You get to see the Dinobots for one thing but best of all a new piece of the puzzle in the Transformers background is revealed and oh what a great story to continue on.Essentially if your a fan of the Transformers and enjoy action, there's simply nothing to loose.Personally I thought getting rid of some of the characters from the past 3 movies and introducing the inventor story line featuring Mark Wahlberg was a brilliant idea and adds a new story arch and a whole new group of people who bring faith back to the Autobots in the form of human goodness.It's an amazing film with my only question being: How did Optimus prime recover?
The story is simply told on the run, some people can't deal with that but if your a Transformers fan, you will not be disappointed.Don't listen to the nonsense, this is a great film and I thoroughly enjoyed it.Way to go Michael Bay, an incredible new episode in the Transformers saga..
And just when you thought 2014 is done with Action packed Hollywood movies...Michael Bay serves you special treat , which is not just tasty...its lot more spicy than u have expected...Its called Transformers: Age of Extinction ...saw it just before the world does n guess what venue was none other than IMAX, Wadala...This franchise has earlier given 3 blockbusters and rumors were in the air that there wont be any movie further released..Then there is Michael bay teamed up with "Pain and Gain" guy and directed 1st part of reboot...Excitement while entering theater was as equal as achieving something special..COOOOOOL...Movie begins just after last part of the franchise was ended , unexpectedly here humans are forced to kill Autobots by LOCKDOWN (which is not a Decepticon indeed , he describes himself as one who created transformers)...But when you got Optimus Prime by your side taking a lead to save Autobots and humans , the deadly war begins...There are so many new Bots introduced on both good and evil side , each with a unique identity, bad-ass style and Kick-ass one liners...Is this all he got for this reboot ???
Noooooo , they have introduced DINOBOTs...the coolest transformers so far and were the most discussed before the movie release...They are just awesome...This movie has been very well directed and have Bay styled Slow motion action sequences which will made u shout and whistle...Mark Wahlberg has just answered critics who questioned his replacement as main cast...Every character is well casted and have important role to play as movie goes towards end...Sound track "Battle Cry" is composed by Imagine Dragons and is as awesome as movie is...I have been rolled out and approaching to join Optimus Prime for next battle...Go for it guys...This one u don't wanna miss if u want action flick badly.
My advice, go find a copy of The Rock and enjoy a movie from a time when Michael Bay was a competent filmmaker.FINAL VERDICT: Transformers: Age of Extinction is a desperate attempt at an action movie that is unbearably long and mind-numbingly dumb..
i'd prefer to watch X-Men Days of Future Past AGAIN instead, it was way better.maybe the 3D makes it better in the way of "fun" only, there's almost no story in that film, just a new blonde actor and another main actor - Mark Wolberg - i think he saved whats left from this film.maybe the kids will love it, I'm 27 and i didn't.please don't let Michael Bay destroy more movies, all what he's doing is explosions and more explosions to cover the boring parts of his films, and even that wont work anymore and starts to bore me too..
It's hard to imagine that such movie, whose entire production budget costs as much as the US gross The Amazing Spiderman 2 has been struggling to reach, can still be so deprived of sense and wit, so much that throughout that two hours and 45 minutes it's running, you'll find yourself wondering how much longer can you still endure staring at the screen while hoping something sensible other than just mere special effects will come out and save the film from being assessed as total garbage.That being said, I still put 'Age of Extinction' on top of my Transformers movie list, mainly because it has Mark Walhberg, who proves to be a lot more sensible than Shia ever was in the last three movies.
i was really afraid to watch this movie because of the bad reviews.....but i said, oh well,lets just try it....the movie has a new cast...Mark Wahlberg will make you want to spit at Shia Labeoff....he is just so much better..the others are kinda OK....so the cast is likable and at least they do some thing.....the special effs are wonderful as well.....the Autobot cast is amazing and u do actually spend a lot of time with them.....the plot is actually pretty good.....but again.....the beginning is illogical and there are some questions but at least its more complicated than the other ones......Optimus Primes personality is dark....but its definitely logical and u think you will do the same if that happened to you, the only reason I'm giving this this 7 is the run time, it completely destroyed the fun....right at 2 hours was really fun, then the Dino bots come out....and you are like....Yay.....
The first half of the film basically features forgettable exposition which often cuts to juvenile humor from father, daughter, and a boyfriend who can drive well.The special effects are impressive in parts as with all previous Transformers movies, but with the absence of good characters let alone a fun story, it all seems inconsequential.Overall, Transformers 4 will continue to excite fans who have clearly gifted a lot of money to the previous films.
Good, enjoyable action flick!Mark Wahlberg looking tough, saving his daughter and the world.Totally not necessary to be almost three hours long though!?A sequel movie that is not afraid to make fun of itself though.
As a fan of all the Transformer Movies, I left feeling like they owed me money.Mark Wahlberg was 2nd fiddle to the every evolving Autobots and Decepticons in this one.
The movie's duration is 3 hours it's a very long film, and the story, the soundtrack and special effects are amazingTransformers age of extinction, I've seen it, and I think this is the best movie of the transformers series.
The movie's duration is 3 hours it's a very long film, and the story, the soundtrack and special effects are amazing.
I have seen him act in Reservoir Dogs and many other movies that made me want to like him.This particular film is no more than a blatant attempt to make money.The story is bad.
Horrifyingly bad effects,poor story,extremely stupid plot holes and horrible characters(except Optimus prime and Bumblebee)make a very very very bad movie.The movie is incredibly long(2 and a half hours of a Michael Bay movie is just not cool).The story telling is absolutely retarded and another huge mistake was to focus on the humans instead of the auto-bots I mean why would you focus on humans when you have huge robots.The effects are really bad for example when they're transforming it looks like the graphics of the PS2.The Dinobots that are highlighted in the trailer do absolutely nothing and they don't even say out Grimlock's name or any of the other bots names and the main purpose of them is just to be driven by the auto-bots which is horrible.Don't waste your money on this nonsensical trash.NUFF SAID!!!.
After liking 2 of the first 3 movies in the Transformers series I thought there was a possibility of adding another entertaining film to the franchise.
If your someone who wants to watch the same exact film as the other 3 and pay 10 dollars, then be my guest.+Mark Wahlberg +Effects are breathless at times..-..Too bad it becomes exhausting -The acting is some of the worst I've ever seen -Story is exactly the same, just more explosions -No surprises -Nearly 3 hours long??
The action sequences,this time around,were great.Now,I know who is fighting who due to the superb special effects in the film.The explosions felt realistic,the fight scenes did too.The Transformers,or the Autobots,were well-developed to the point you actually care about them.Some that you didn't care about were just new characters.
Unfortunately not, this film is riddled with disasters likely to leave you wondering why you had spent your time (a painstaking 165 minutes) and money.Michael Bay has been long criticized about his lack of a storyline and this installment of the Transformers franchise is no different.
