Transformers: Age of Extinction

Transformers: Age of Extinction is a 2014 American science fiction action film based on the Transformers toy line. It is the fourth installment of the live-action Transformers film series and the sequel to Dark of the Moon (2011), taking place five years after its events. Like its predecessors, it was directed by Michael Bay and written by Ehren Kruger, with Steven Spielberg and Bay as executive producers. It stars Mark Wahlberg, Jack Reynor, Nicola Peltz, Stanley Tucci, Kelsey Grammer, Sophia Myles, Bingbing Li, Titus Welliver, and T. J. Miller. It does not feature the original human cast from the previous three films, and instead introduces a new human cast and many new Transformers, including the Dinobots. Returning Transformers include Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Ratchet, Brains, and Megatron (now known as Galvatron). The screenplay was written by Ehren Kruger. Age of Extinction was the first feature film to be shot on smaller digital IMAX cameras, as well as various other film formats, such as IMAX 70mm film cameras, digital stereo 3-D, and anamorphic and spherical 35mm film.
The film was released on June 27, 2014, in IMAX and 3D. Transformers: Age of Extinction received generally negative reviews from critics for its runtime, performances, screenplay, and direction. The movie was a box office success, grossing over $1.104 billion worldwide on a $210 million budget, making it the highest-grossing film of 2014, the 10th-highest-grossing film of all time, and the only film in 2014 to gross over $1 billion. The sequel, The Last Knight, was released in June 2017.
