Damn the action in this movie is so good, the new transformers are great and there are many cool set-pieces. Unfortunately though, there's a lot of wasted potential, specifically the first half, it takes a while for it to get decent.

The absence of Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox also brought the film down rapidly for me. The action was good, but it didn't hold a candle to the previous installment, which was really phenomenal as far as action scenes go. The soundtrack was also significantly weaker compared to the previous films. For me, an absolute waste. I think they should have just kept the first part and not made it a series, and if they did, they should have ended it with a third part. For me, this was a mediocre film that I don't recommend. Only to the really big fans of the saga.… Expand

The people from the first 3 gone we got a new cast. First Mark Wahlberg I hear so many people **** on him but I really like his character he is a dad that is protective for his daughter. The other is the hot girl, other hot male actor and the comic relief in the form of TJ Miller. Again cinematography great all the camera angles are awesome but the real highlight is the CGI touch ups. From the explosions to the Transformers them self’s look awesome. Once again The Transformers are the standout Prime and Bumblebee still kicking ass but we got new ones my new favorite Hound voiced by John Goodman he is really cool I don’t know why but I really like him from either the guns or just the line delivery, Drift is the samurai dude he’s cool I guess and the other one he’s good too. My friend would kill me if I didn’t mentioned the Dinobots. So Grimlock is the only one that matters he’s the T-Rex and yeah he’s ducking sweet the stuff he and Prime do make for one hell of a team up. Watch this one there is more action in this movie then the other ones it’s available on Hulu now.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of my favourite transformers movies. It does a lot of things right that the other films get wrong. Most of the transformers are shown to have actual characters, instead of just being walking car advertisements. Drift, Crosshairs and Hound all have fleshed out characters, and get plenty of screen time, unlike the secondary Autobots in previous films. Likewise, Lockdown is one of my favourite villains from the franchise.
Unlike the previous films, I really like the humour of this film. There aren't any scenes that are so cringe I want to skip through them. Likewise, I really prefer Cade Yeager to Sam Witwicky. Shia LaBeouf was just awkward to watch.
I guess my only criticism of the film is that the stakes are quite low. Like if Galvatron got the seed, it wasn't like the world would end. He'd destroy Hong Kong and have a new army, which is where we were at half way through DOTM.… Expand

Can't figure out if Age Of Extinction is better or worse than The Last Knight. The plot makes no sense and is boring as hell. And for a movie with the word "Transformers" in the name, it focuses on the humans way too much.

Looking at the poster and trailer of this movie I was thinking this might be something really good. I had recently watched the first three movies of this franchise and I really liked the whole concept of Transformers; just seeing them doLooking at the poster and trailer of this movie I was thinking this might be something really good. I had recently watched the first three movies of this franchise and I really liked the whole concept of Transformers; just seeing them do something on the big screen is enough to get my attention. So when I heard that this is the worst movie of the franchise, the robot dinosaur poster refused to let me believe that. How can a movie with such a good CGI possibly be bad? And when I watched it... I now apologise to all those people I didn't trust. I'm really sorry.
The problem with this movie is that it has humans. I know, Transformers are all about Autobots and humans interacting and coming together to beat Decepticons, but the humans in this movie are terrible. I forgave Dark of the Moon since it was Sam Witwicky, the same guy we had previously seen in two prequels. But this time, it's the new guy. I don't even remember his name, so let's just call him Mark Wahlberg. Mark is such a two dimensional character. He loves mechanical engineering and hates anyone approaching his daughter. Yes, that's his entire personality.
So when Optimus Prime ends up coming to his lab, they bond together. The premise of this movie is all wrong. The Autobots are now considered criminal in this world because of the destruction that happened in the previous movie. Like, what? Dude, even the army was doing destruction in the previous movie if that's supposed to be a real reason. Also everyone saw the Autobots fight the Decepticons in the epic climax moment. And it's not like there's some communication gap between the Autobots and the humans, since Optimus Prime literally lived with the military. So if there's any problem at all, they can just talk about it.
So anyway Optimus helps Mark, his daughter and her boyfriend escape from there, and they team up with Hound and some other Transformers (I don't even remember the names at this point, because they don't give a reason to do so). Together they go to The Lost World where Optimus fights the robot T-Rex for which I watched this movie in the first place. First of all, the T-Rex is like, five times bigger than Optimus Prime. For comparison, just try fighting an elephant with your bare hands (except that elephants are herbivores and won't attack you unprovoked). And after the beating that T-Rex becomes friends with Optimus because it's a Michael Bay movie.
So then there's the epic showdown battle between Mark and some bad guys. I was doing my college project on my laptop and this movie was running on my phone's Prime Video, so I used to only look at the movie whenever something interesting would be happening, otherwise I'd just keep doing my work. I don't think I looked at the screen more than 3-4 times throughout the work. This is the reason why I can guarantee you that it's a boring movie. I don't remember most of it.
Transformers: Age of Extinction is the movie that taught me that Transformers could be bad too. Earlier I used to see Screen Rant articles which said that after a time the movies went repetitive with the CGI fighting and explosions, so I didn't understand what's bad about it since that's literally what I watch them for. But it turns out the reason why I hate it is the other way round. The big, cool robots have now turned into parodies of themselves and the humans are no longer even close to being interesting. I'd say if you haven't begun watching this franchise, just watch the first three and then jump straight to Bumblebee. That would save a lot of time and inner peace.… Expand

But, in true Transformers fashion, it has its share of hilarious moments. It has great action sequences, heartwarming and truly epic moments, as well as some fresh new faces. No matter how much I shall miss the old, like much in this movie, times change, just like much in this movie. I like how they started exploring the history in this film, I feel like it adds to the story. I also like the new characters, they feel realistic. There is the father and new protagonist, Cade Yeager, who is trying to support his family, his daughter who is worried about both her father and her future, as well as having some fun, and her fun carefree man, who can be just as serious. The new Transformers are fun as well, whether it be the snarky Crosshairs, the serious Drift, or the violence loving Hound. This movie is a new start, and a good one at that. It, like the others, is underappreciated. I adore this film, and I hope that others will appreciate it as much as I do, as it is a masterpiece of its own type.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Als Kinoliebhaber ist es ein sehr schweres Unterfangen die Filme der "Transformers"-Reihe zu schauen, da diese eine Handlung aufweisen, welche auf einen Bierdeckel passt und dennoch sich in vielen Punkten widerspricht und/oder keine wirkliche Logik aufweist.
Doch fälle ich kein Urteil ohne besagte Filme gesehen zu haben und so kam es, dass ich nun den vierten Teil nachholte.
Auch wenn ich versuchte ganz unvoreingenommen an den Film zu gehen machte es einem "Age of Extinction" schon in den ersten Minuten fast unmöglich nicht abzuschalten.

Die ersten Wortwechsel sind ein Graus und die "slapstick"-Einlage mit dem Football schmolz meine Synapsen. Nicht das ich per se die Szene nicht lustig finden könnte, doch die fehlende Fähigkeit eine schauspielerische Leistung an den Tag zu legen vernichtete jede Glaubwürdigkeit. Selbst meine ungeborenen Tochter hätte den Ball besser/schlechter werfen können. Was wir als Zuschauer geboten bekommen ist dann ein Mann, welcher einen schlechten Wurf darstellen soll, dennoch zu minderbemittelt ist und somit nur in der Lage ist den Ball sich direkt vor die Füße zu werfen. Solch einen schlechten Wurf würde ich nicht mal einer Person ohne Arme zutrauen.

Nun bleibt es aber leider nicht nur bei einer kleinen und unbedeutenden Szene, sondern die Idiotie des Filmes steigert sich ins Undenkbare.
Der Film versucht dem Zuschauer ernsthaft zu vermitteln, dass die CIA ohne Wissen und Zustimmung des Präsidenten ein totalitärer Apparat mit eigener Agenda sein kann, welcher sogar ohne rechtliche Absicherung und Erlaubnis handelt und seine Ziele, sowie die Verfolgung einer bestimmten Gruppe durchführt.
Noch unzählige Szenen und Dialoge könnten in der Luft zerrissen werden, da diese in ihrer Qualität nicht ein mal mehr im "Trash"-Genre anzusiedeln wären, doch dies wäre verschenkte Liebesmüh.

Dennoch darf man nicht die Arbeit komplett als Schandfleck bezeichnen, da es auch genug Personen gab, welche bei der Umsetzung des Filmes ihr Bestes gegeben haben und nur ihrer Arbeit nachgegangen sind. Kostümdesigner, Animatoren, Ausstatter usw. sollten von der Schande befreit sein, welche der Regisseur (Michael Bay) und der Drehbuchautor (Ehren Kruger) über die Branche der Filmindustrie abermals brachten.

Wer auf Explosionen steht wird mit "Age of Extinction" bestens bedient sein, da einem schon nach wenigen Minuten das Gehirn implodiert.
So kann ich abschließend noch was gutes loswerden:
„Danke, ich muss diesen Film nie wieder schauen."… Expand

This movie was an excruciating 3-hour experience, filled with terrible acting performances, nonsensical plot points, incomprehensible action sequences and VERY SLOW pacing.

Michael Bay doesn't have a clue how to direct a movie, much less an action movie. It's sad.

If you haven't seen the movie, congratulations. You just skipped three hours of anguish.

One-liners are cliche in a way that resembles a parody rather than a blockbuster. It looks like a student project aiming to show CGI skills with worthless characters, so ungodly stupid that you actually wonder if they are not mentally impaired by design. Both main characters and power lust government workers share the same illogical insanity. It is the worst high budget production I have seen in my life, appalling beyond any measure.

If you want characters you empathize with, a decent plot, and correct geographical depictions, this is the movie to avoid. Hong Kong does not just border onto forest. Mark Wahlberg should just stick to comedy as this may be his most unconvincing performance yet. What a waste of my time.… Expand

A dull, cut-and-paste story with atrocious dialogue and terrible performances make this an absolute slog to sit through. Worst of all, the action actually manages to be pretty boring. It doesn't feel like Michael Bay was having any fun constructing the set pieces this time. Yet, the movie is somehow almost three hours long. As someone who found a fair amount of enjoyment in the first few movies, this was a massive letdown.… Expand

This is literally the worst movie I've ever seen and whoever gave it a 10 should have their Metacritic account taken away. The visuals aren't bad, but at the fourth Transformers movie it's nothing new or exciting so it isn't a selling point.This is literally the worst movie I've ever seen and whoever gave it a 10 should have their Metacritic account taken away.

The movie sabotages anything good it has, TJ Miller is good for the small amount he's in but is underused. To fully express my dislike for this movie, there's a scene in which the daughter's boyfriend has to explain why it is legal for them to date, and there's a lot of reasons it's creepy. First, whoever wrote it knows about this law and I don't want to ask why. Second, Michael Bay wrote a sexy character so young they had to explain why it's legal, but they don't have to explain why it's gross. Dinobots are in like 10 minutes, humor sucks, directing sucks, writing sucks, acting is good 10% of the time.… Expand

This new sequel to Bay's Transformers' saga offers another impressive show visual effects, but they're not enough to save this picture from a fatally cliched storytelling, characters, and a somehow disappointing result.

Everything else fails spectacularly, even the action. The action itself is pretty bad, especially since it's poorly shot. I can hardly tell whats going on, and it's hard to care about the characters since nothing interesting is going on. The story in this movie is poorly written and has the same problems with the other installments. It has poorly written characters who are so generic it's just pathetic. The humor in this movie is just as bad as the other two movies, which is no surprise, and the dialogue is so bad, no actor could pull this off. Plus this movie 3 HOURS LONG, it's so boring watching it was a drag. Once again, Bay just doesn't care about the project, and will continue to make these movies until he overfills his bank account.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Michael Bay,juró y perjuró que Transformers: el lado oscuro de la luna, sería el final de Transformers, (para él) y que se centraría en nuevos proyectos, peeeeero se ve que a los productores y sobretodo a Hasbro, como que eso de cerrar una saga que les genera millones y millones en merchandising, películas, series.... PUES VA A SER QUE NO. Y por supuesto, contratan de nuevo a Michael Bay o mejor dicho fuerzan, a que la dirija porque lo estipula en su contrato, Bay con desgana la dirige.

Transformers la era de la extinción, nos sitúa 5 años después de lo sucedido en la tercera parte, Los transformers son proscritos y cazados por el gobierno, por un siniestro agente de la CIA encarnado por Frasier Kelsey Grammer, que esta compinchado con un empresario que quiere crear sus propios transformers y forrarse con ello blablabla. Mientras un ingeniero y padre soltero (Mark Whalberg) encuentra un camión viejo y roñoso que parece ser... Optimus Prime. Y a partir de ese momento, es perseguido por los malos.

Orci y Strutzman ya no están en el guión, se encargó de su escritura a Ehren Kruger, Spielberg tampoco es el productor, ni Dreamworks esta detrás, el reparto de la trilogía anterior ni está, ni se les menciona. Paramount ha dado puerta a todos los implicados en la saga anterior, salvo a Bay.

Algo que destacaba las pelis de Transformers, es que siempre contentaba al espectador medio que quería un blockbuster para pasar el rato, sin olvidarse de los fans, dándole guiños, tramas y personajes basadas en la serie, cómics etc. En esta ocasión hay una serie de libertades, que bueno, son aceptables como los Dinobots que son Dioses antiguos, Lockdown no es decepticon en el film, sino un cazarrecompensas y la nula aparición de Decepticons. El resultado del film en general, es una historia menos infantil, menos humor chorra, desaparece los personajes odiosos y repelentes, algo que se agradece, viendo los antecedentes, Michael Bay en la dirección, pues le tenemos "menos" centrado en sus excesos (explosiones a tutiplen y gratuitas, banderas y 360 con atardeceres) y mas en el film, demostrándonos que para dirigir blockbusters de acción, es el boss.

El reparto, debo decir que se come con patatas a todos lo mamarrachos de la anterior, el personaje de Mark Whalberg , es un personaje que mola, no es cargante ni insoportable y hace algo mas que el señor bolsa de papel, la hija y el novio de esta, no están para rellenar y los malos son clichés con patas, tampoco se le puede pedir mas a un film de este tipo.

Peeeero, no todo el monte es orégano, la película tiene una serie de lastres, bastante molestos, que pueden perjudicar en el disfrute de este :

-La película es extremadamente larga, dura casi 3 horas, tiene demasiadas subtramas, han intentado contar tantas cosas, para que parezca mas sería, que se la toman en serio, y han cometido un gran error, convertir un blokbuster veraniego en un sopor de 3 horas.

-Debido a la larga duración de la película, como consecuencia aparecen demasiadas subtramas, que muchas de ellas, no pintan un carajo, o las desarrollan bastante mal, como por ejemplo la de Galvatron, que te preguntas...¿Hacía falta meterle? o los Dinobots que solo aparecen al final PORQUE SI.

En conclusión, un blockbuster veraniego decente, que por culpa de las mil subtramas que meten hacen que sea un disparate exageradamente largo, una puta manía de ahora, de hacer pelis que duren tanto, que yo creo que en 90 minutos tenias para contar la historia de sobra. Eso si, los Haters de este señor se van a cebar de lo lindo.… Expand

Michael Bay is a director who doesn't know when to stop. Every single time one of his movies gets bashed by critics and audiences, he carries on making his movies, I'm not sure if that's an inspiration, or just that's plain ignoring everyoneMichael Bay is a director who doesn't know when to stop. Every single time one of his movies gets bashed by critics and audiences, he carries on making his movies, I'm not sure if that's an inspiration, or just that's plain ignoring everyone who is offering constructive criticism.

I did not have high hopes for 'Transformers: Age of Extinction' simply because after having sat through three of his other films, what could be so different about this one? Yes, it has a new cast, but new actors doesn't always improve a franchise, as long as the people behind the scenes remain unchanged, then you're getting the same product with some cool looking features.

Mark Wahlberg replaces the noisy Shia LaBeouf as Cade Yeager, a single father who lives in Texas with his daughter, Tessa (Nicola Peltz). He claims himself to be an inventor, often collecting old scraps of metal, and taking them into his barn outside his house, and trying to create something innovative. He comes across a Transformer in the form of a van and tries to fix it. The Transformer, of course, is Optimus Prime (voiced by Peter Cullen) and after having his life saved by Cade, Optimus promises to protect the Yeager family.

Kelsey Grammer is the main antagonist here, he believes that all of the Autobots are evil ever since the events that occurred in Chicago (check 'Transformers: Dark of the Moon'), and wants to wipe out all of the Autobots. We also meet a man named Joshua Joyce (Stanley Tucci), the head of KSI who develops his own line of Transforming technology.

It seems that the plot needs to be put on hold for the sake of trying to focus on the Yeager family drama, as it seems that Cade's daughter, who is 17, is dating a 20 year old Shane Dyson (Jack Reynor). Obviously, any person will know that it is unacceptable for a man in his 20s to be dating someone under the age of 18, but there is one scene that actually lets the two love-birds explain why it is acceptable for the 20 year old and 17 year old to be dating. Shane even goes as far as to present Cade an official card which is basically saying that they are allowed to do some "naughty stuff", just because they have a card saying they could do so.

Michael Bay is known for trying to objectify women as much as he can (remember, he cast an underwear model who is not an actress in the previous installment), here, even though Peltz may have been age appropriate to appear the way she did in this, the fact that her character is under-age is just nothing more than a new low for the director. I apologize if it seems like I am going off-topic about the film's main plot, but clearly the film itself went off-topic hoping we wouldn't notice...but we did.

The action is your typical, slow-motion, low-angle, people running away from explosions and cars flipping over on a motorway style. There is nothing new, or different that makes this movie stand out from the previous installments, except that it's even more intolerable than before. Time and time again, my attention just wandered because this film is not very good at holding my interest, it is devoid of any intelligence or gripping moments.

The characters are nothing more than archetypes...the hero is your typical hero, the villain is your typical government official villain, the young blonde girl is your typical, attractive, damsel getting herself into distress.

This proves once again, that Michael Bay is a hack, cynical filmmaker, there seems to be a lack of focus and innovation in his skill as a filmmaker. He is better off directing more of those "Victoria's Secret" commercials, which is actually highlighted in this film. The product placement here is very in-your-face. Clearly to Bay, subtlety is overrated, everything has to have some form of exaggeration in case it wasn't clear to any of us.

The run time, which is at roughly 2h 40m...is way too long to keep us entertained, one minute of this film feels like 5 minutes. You just want it to end, but Bay is clearly not sick of this roller-coaster ride which stopped being fun ages ago.… Expand

I am a movie fanatic, not a typical critic. So I as an audience would rate the movie quite good although I did miss the clear story line of the first part. But when you are watching sequels of a movie series, you need to understand that thereI am a movie fanatic, not a typical critic. So I as an audience would rate the movie quite good although I did miss the clear story line of the first part. But when you are watching sequels of a movie series, you need to understand that there will be changes. So rather than comparing it with its previous parts, it is better to view it as a separate movie. Yes! One do need to maintain the connection between all its parts and Age of Extinction does that. It is clear that after Sentinel Prime tried to rebuild Cybertron with his portal, there was outrage, and the hostility against the Transformers are well understood.
I guess common movie fanatics like me didn't like it because half of the Autobots were wiped out and Ratchet's encounter was surely painful. I did not miss Sam though. I mean I did miss him but it was mostly because of Bumblebee. But we have evil Lockdown and rebuilding of Galvatron was totally cool.

The only disappointing thing for me in this part was merging up of plots. I found it pretty hard to keep up with everything. In the previous series, there was Colonel Lennox, Sam and Transformers but this part seems to have the story all mixed up. First, a robotic engineer finds Optimus, then there is CIA, then there is Lockdown trying to capture Optimus. Oh and not to forget, we have the KSI and its chief running away with the seed. Well, wise people rightly say that too many cooks spoil the broth. That's what happened in Transformers 4, too much story spoiled the movie.… Expand

Kellsy Grammar was the best actor in the whole movie and he played a pretty good villian, and I even like Titus Welliver as James Savoy the supporting villain along side Kellsy Grammar.

Michael Bay has often said how he loves to "blow things up real good." Well, if that's his desire in life, there's little doubt that he tops himself in Transformers: Age of Extinction. This is as excruciating a movie as is likely to beMichael Bay has often said how he loves to "blow things up real good." Well, if that's his desire in life, there's little doubt that he tops himself in Transformers: Age of Extinction. This is as excruciating a movie as is likely to be experienced by anyone, anywhere. It isn't merely that the story is insulting, the characters are bland, the action is dull, and the CGI is everywhere - it's that all this goes on for nearly three hours. That's three hours of your life you'll never get back.

Bay's argument is that the Transformers movies are made for the little kid in all of us. That might be true, assuming the kid is pugnacious, antisocial, afflicted with an attention span approaching zero, and lacking in anything remotely resembling a creative impulse. My inner child often delights in silly, loud, or otherwise unsophisticated films. Parts of Godzilla gave me chills. Misgivings aside, I'm looking forward to the next Star Wars. And, despite its recent precipitous nosedive, I still adore Doctor Who. But that inner child quails at the thought of enduring even one more minute of a Transformers movie. The only thing more epic about this film than its running length is its soullessness.

Bay keeps saying he's done with the Transformers franchise but it draws him back like flies to **** This time around, the human actors from the earlier films have been jettisoned. At first glance, that might seem like a good thing until one realizes that people in Bay films are as interesting and important as background décor. It's really all about the robots, the orgiastic display of CGI destruction, and (of course) the explosions. I wish I could say "just sit back and enjoy the ride", but there's a reason roller coasters are only a few minutes long.

Is there a story here? It's not War and Peace but there's something that might be mistaken for the skeleton of a plot if viewed in dim light. For those who care about continuity, events in Transformers: Age of Extinction take place five years after those of the previous film, Transformers: Dark of the Moon. By this time, the Transformers have been virtually eliminated from Earth as a result of a ruthless cleansing scheme spearheaded by CIA Black Ops hotshot Harold Attinger (Kelsey Grammer in full Stinky Pete mode). Attinger has help from a Decepticon called "Lockdown" (voice of Mark Ryan), who has come to Earth in search of Optimus Prime (voice of Peter Cullen). The CIA bad guy has also formed an alliance with billionaire inventor Joshua Joyce (Stanley Tucci), who has figured out how to build Transformers. His pilot project is something he calls "Galvatron" (voice of Frank Welker) - a robot that looks an awful like the dreaded (and supposedly dead) Megatron.

In the acting department, Mark Wahlberg is an upgrade on Shia Labeouf, although it hardly matters. Walhberg does his job and stands around looking suitably awed, angry, or frightened, depending on what the script requires. Somehow, Stanley Tucci manages to rise above the material and leave an impression. It helps that he's used partially for comedic relief and gets to utter the best one-liner (one that uses up the movie's PG-13 single "f-word" allowance). Tucci's success is counterbalanced by Nicola Peltz's failure. The Transformers movies have had their share of annoying characters but none (not even the one played by Megan Fox) has achieved the apex occupied by Peltz's Tessa, who one-ups the worst horror movie heroine in terms of incompetence, ignorance, and irritation factor. On more than one occasion, I was actively rooting for a robot to stomp on her or for her to fall from a great height and make a satisfying splat. I guess this could be considered a step forward for Bay - he made me feel something about a human being in a Transformers film.

In the end, there's a sense that nothing much happens in Transformers: Age of Extinction, although that "nothing" is long, loud, and flashy. Bay's approach, which is technically proficient but without charm or life, bludgeons viewers into a near-catatonic state. If one takes a step back and looks at Transformers: Age of Extinction from a distance, the story isn't confusing but, while watching it, the sense of chaos is almost overwhelming. Shakespeare didn't know it, but when he wrote of "sound and fury signifying nothing," he could have been describing this franchise.

This is blockbuster moviemaking at its worst - a product so cynical that it doesn't try to pretend it's anything more than a mindless spectacle. It's endless, tiresome, and tedious, but it will make so much money that Transformers 5 is a foregone conclusion. I can't think of a more compelling reason to hate Transformers: Age of Extinction.… Expand

He promised it would be shorter. He lied. Michael Bay’s fourth Transformers film clocks in at a bum-numbing 165 minutes, making it longer even than the patience-trying Dark Of The Moon. The juggernaut success of the franchise presumably givesHe promised it would be shorter. He lied. Michael Bay’s fourth Transformers film clocks in at a bum-numbing 165 minutes, making it longer even than the patience-trying Dark Of The Moon. The juggernaut success of the franchise presumably gives Bay carte blanche to do what the hell he wants at this point. Disappointingly he’s simply opted for another baggily plotted, cacophonous three-hour migraine.

Picking up four years after the costly Battle Of Chicago, Age Of Extinction ditches its previous human cast to introduce blue-collar Texan inventor Cade Yeager (Mark Wahlberg); his daughter Tessa (Nicola Peltz); her racing driver boyfriend Shane (Jack Reynor); and Cade’s assistant Lucas (T. J. Miller). Cade has a kind of Doc Brown operation going on, building dodgy robot guard dogs and butlers in his shed. While trawling an abandoned cinema for parts he can fix and sell (the previous owner complains that audiences are now only interested in a “bunch of crap sequels and remakes”) he finds the wreckage of an old truck, which turns out to be a down-and-out Optimus Prime.

In a thrown-away political metaphor, the post-Chicago Transformers are now positioned as illegal aliens, no longer trusted to “fight American wars”. Washington’s official line is that only Decepticons are being hunted, but for rogue CIA bigwig Harold Attinger (Kelsey Grammer), “There are no good or bad aliens: it’s just us and them.” With his henchman Savoy (Titus Welliver) and the help of an alien bounty hunter of unclear allegiance, Attinger is on a Transformer eradication kick. But he’s also in cahoots with billionaire design genius Joshua Joyce (Stanley Tucci), whose company has a government contract to melt down old Transformers and build new controllable ones from the leftover programmable matter. He’s got Megatron’s head. That won’t end well. The magic metal is dubbed “Transformium”, which edges Unobtainium in the stupid-name stakes by at least being a joke coined by proud-of-themselves lab dorks.

So that’s working-class heroes; the government and CIA corruption; Big Business; outlaw Transformers; and a third set of alien robot hunters that are neither Decepticon nor Autobot. We’re only 40 minutes in. The extinction device the title refers to is a cyberforming “seed”. It’s important as a MacGuffin, but isn’t introduced until around the halfway point. There’s so much plot — much of it left hanging for future sequels, including a tantalising thread about heading off into space to kill God — that even at the length it is, sections still feel abridged: on one occasion we’re suddenly regaled with a Wahlberg voiceover explaining where he’s going and what he’ll do when he gets there. And yet, all this story is still just a loose string on which to hang the bludgeoning set-pieces.

There are car chases, the first of which actually has little Transformer action. There are smashed buildings and massive explosions (“Possible civilian casualties,” someone warns. No **** There’s a sky-chase, and a thrillingly vertiginous high-wire sequence. For seemingly no other reason than the franchise’s Eastern popularity, the film ups sticks to China for its final act. And there are copious hero shots: a father-daughter moment made epic by a Bay sunset; a meeting of the remaining Autobots in Monument Valley; a spaceship flying over the Great Wall Of China; Optimus Prime riding a Dinobot. (Oh yes, the Dinobots. Much trumpeted, they show up for the final half hour and have no distinguishable personalities or point.)

In some ways Bay does seem to have been chastened by previous criticism. While there’s still racial stereotyping afoot — Ken Watanabe’s Drift is a samurai Autobot who spouts Japanese homilies and calls Optimus “Sensei”; everyone in Hong Kong is a kung-fu fighter — there’s nothing quite as egregious as Revenge Of The Fallen’s Skids and Mudflap. The lecherous camera has also been reined in to an extent, although Bay’s low angles still can’t resist the odd Peltz arse ogle.

That this doesn’t happen more often reflects the extent to which Peltz is quickly sidelined in the narrative; female characters in general come out of Age Of Extinction poorly. Li Bingbing, though strong in the ballbreaking sense, also makes little impression, and one has to feel particularly bad for Sophia Myles, who begins the film with a seemingly important role and then disappears for two hours. When she comes back she plays no part in the proceedings except to be physically present.

In fact, it’s debatable what role any of the humans play in the story outside of Kelsey Grammer and Stanley Tucci. Tucci is the standout, despite a third-hour lurch from oily camp to broader clowning. Wahlberg, on the other hand, while a bigger presence than Shia LaBeouf ever was, inexplicably handy with a space gun and able to fly a ship at a moment’s notice, has so little effect on the film’s outcome that Optimus might just as well have left him and his clan back in Texas.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is pretty fun. I saw this with my dad and we both liked it. I think it is the second best of the series, the best, of course, being the first one. This movie is still way too long, and the dinobots weren't in the movie enough to warrant them being on every single poster promoting the film. But Bay seemed to actually make this movie with a thought in his mind about having a plot. The animation is great in this film and the plot is actually pretty cool. It's nonsensical, sure, but it's easy to follow. This is a legitimately good picture, and does provide a refreshing new cast and tone to the series.… Expand

Transformers has always produced complex and large-scale sequences with mostly CGI work and pulled it off pretty well. No, the problem is substance, which has been lacking ever since the first Transformers film. I maintain that the second movie is the worst of these films (so far), but Age of Extinction isn't a whole lot better. It's too long, too littered with action sequences that come off gratuitous instead of meaningful. Bay has a flair for the dramatic and can capture some incredible scenes, but the ownership of Transformers need to figure out how to tell a good story and better dialogue or they'll completely tarnish what could be a cool universe to explore (much like how the Marvel universe translates well to sequels and spin-offs). Mark Wahlberg can turn in a better performance too, he just needs better material to work with. Personally, I'd rather see Transformers can some of the silly tendencies and get a little grittier, a little more serious, instead of mercilessly tossing in one-liners to break the tension (Avengers seems to do this more tactfully than any other movie I can think of). AoE isn't terrible, but it's length and at-times overwhelming on-screen action doesn't make me eager to see it a second time.… Expand

In this sense, the entry price was well worth the entertaining experience. My expectations going into this film were low as it was, but I at least thought it would have some redeeming qualities as its predecessors did. I have never been more wrong in my life. With terrible dialogue, atrocious camera work, non-existent character development and a predictable and unoriginal storyline, Age of Extinction follows the pattern of it's previous instalments, only to a worse degree. Most of the film simply doesn't make sense, with contradictions around every corner. I found myself nitpicking everything wrong with the film, which was the vast majority. However, the real sadness comes when you start to imagine how you would re-work each conversation, each camera shot, each sequence. In doing this it occurs to you that you would be able to make a Transformer's film at least five times more powerful and exciting than Michael Bay's version. Given Michael Bay only looks like failing more and more with each film he makes, unless Transformer's changes directors, it will continue to remain the laughing stock of movie blockbusters.… Expand

At least they got rid of Shia LaBeoufs character and all the characters that follow him along like his parents.Also it`s a very long movie, so if your not entertained the length will make it even worst.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Mediclore. Why? Here:
* Its not too bad, but its too long, 3 HOURS!
* Exessive screaming and explosions worsen it too.
* The story is ok, but a bit sad, seeing Ratchet get killed within the first few moments as well as Lockdowns (which is cool since he is evil) brutal head ripping death.
* Too many human scenes which are mostly pointless.
* Not enough robots, too little.
* A bit too violent for little kids.
* Bad dialouge.

If there all the robot scenes are collected together, maybe the film would end up being 40 minutes long, far from 165 minutes… Expand

This is as excruciating a movie as is likely to beMichael Bay has often said how he loves to "blow things up real good." Well, if that's his desire in life, there's little doubt that he tops himself in Transformers: Age of Extinction. This is as excruciating a movie as is likely to be experienced by anyone, anywhere. It isn't merely that the story is insulting, the characters are bland, the action is dull, and the CGI is everywhere - it's that all this goes on for nearly three hours. That's three hours of your life you'll never get back.

Bay keeps saying he's done with the Transformers franchise but it draws him back like flies to **** This time around, the human actors from the earlier films have been jettisoned. At first glance, that might seem like a good thing until one realizes that people in Bay films are as interesting and important as background décor. It's really all about the robots, the orgiastic display of CGI destruction, and (of course) the explosions. I wish I could say "just sit back and enjoy the ride", but there's a reason roller coasters are only a few minutes long.

Is there a story here? It's not War and Peace but there's something that might be mistaken for the skeleton of a plot if viewed in dim light. For those who care about continuity, events in Transformers: Age of Extinction take place five years after those of the previous film, Transformers: Dark of the Moon. By this time, the Transformers have been virtually eliminated from Earth as a result of a ruthless cleansing scheme spearheaded by CIA Black Ops hotshot Harold Attinger (Kelsey Grammer in full Stinky Pete mode). Attinger has help from a Decepticon called "Lockdown" (voice of Mark Ryan), who has come to Earth in search of Optimus Prime (voice of Peter Cullen). The CIA bad guy has also formed an alliance with billionaire inventor Joshua Joyce (Stanley Tucci), who has figured out how to build Transformers. His pilot project is something he calls "Galvatron" (voice of Frank Welker) - a robot that looks an awful like the dreaded (and supposedly dead) Megatron.

n the acting department, Mark Wahlberg is an upgrade on Shia Labeouf, although it hardly matters. Walhberg does his job and stands around looking suitably awed, angry, or frightened, depending on what the script requires. Somehow, Stanley Tucci manages to rise above the material and leave an impression. It helps that he's used partially for comedic relief and gets to utter the best one-liner (one that uses up the movie's PG-13 single "f-word" allowance). Tucci's success is counterbalanced by Nicola Peltz's failure. The Transformers movies have had their share of annoying characters but none (not even the one played by Megan Fox) has achieved the apex occupied by Peltz's Tessa, who one-ups the worst horror movie heroine in terms of incompetence, ignorance, and irritation factor. On more than one occasion, I was actively rooting for a robot to stomp on her or for her to fall from a great height and make a satisfying splat. I guess this could be considered a step forward for Bay - he made me feel something about a human being in a Transformers film.

n the end, there's a sense that nothing much happens in Transformers: Age of Extinction, although that "nothing" is long, loud, and flashy. Bay's approach, which is technically proficient but without charm or life, bludgeons viewers into a near-catatonic state. If one takes a step back and looks at Transformers: Age of Extinction from a distance, the story isn't confusing but, while watching it, the sense of chaos is almost overwhelming. Shakespeare didn't know it, but when he wrote of "sound and fury signifying nothing," he could have been describing this franchise.

I understand that this is a "fanboy" driven production intended only to please those who either play with Transformers toys or have fond memories of doing so in their youth. However, it's disappointing to see how contemptuous the filmmakers are of anyone who pays good money to see a movie in the hope that it will offer more than cool special effects (that become progressively less "cool" the longer the film runs). This is blockbuster moviemaking at its worst - a product so cynical that it doesn't try to pretend it's anything more than a mindless spectacle. It's endless, tiresome, and tedious, but it will make so much money that Transformers 5 is a foregone conclusion. I can't think of a more compelling reason to hate Transformers: Age of Extinction.… Expand

DirectorMichael Bay for sure had blew away more than we can suffer on his table of torturous Ka-Boom!
an insult to a generation which tends to have you vomiting on your popcorn and choking to the point you won't be talking for days

Director Michael Bay has returned and has officially ruined the Transformers franchise by taking a much larger tsunami dump into his faltered grade B- trilogy with a solid grade F reboot fourth installment

the film had more lazy direction that you can notice most of the scenes weren't visually edited, more explosions, domestic violence that will scar your kids for life, more of Bay's signature explosive trademarks, hot girls with no shred of shame or morality, more favorite autobot deaths, gory retribution, new but unimpressingly lame Autobot characters, and probably Mark Wahlberg's biggest mistake since The Happening, starring alongside alongside new Bay girl of the year Nicola Peltz from the much more painful the Last Airbender, the film is so bad they found a lazy excuse to cut the filming and shift the entire remainder of filming to Hong Kong (also in an unedited shot you can see the Chicago Sears Tower WHEN YOUR SUPPOSED TO BE IN HONG KONG!!) a terrible gimmick to get more money at the Box Office by buying foreign nations to buy the film by filming it in their country overseas, that as an average american viewer, you can't stop it from being an elaborate staged box office success

the franchise has suffered enough by the hands of the f@#% dyne-rector Bay who is probably the only director who gets away… Expand

Surely, one cannot expect much from this franchise - it is an action packed film with giant robots and giant dinosaur robots without any artistic value or depth whatsoever. Whoever expected more is quite gullible. Now, compared to the earlier installments - I actually thought this one was better than most of them, with the exception of the first one. It doesn't elevate the animation, the story is basically the same with a wonderful variety of holes and WTF moments, but all in all - it does deliver the anticipated and expected adrenaline burst you'd want to get when watching giant robot dinosaurs (finally, Michael, finally - the Dinobots!). The Mark Whalberg-plot is better than the one with Shia, Stanley Tucci is charming as always and the plot itself is pretty much digestible. As far as a major minus goes, the new Autobots are just... what? why? I mean, we've seen three movies and I'm all for bringing in new and original characters (I mean, John Goodman was brilliant!), but with an already developed franchise it looks exceptionally dumb to introduce new characters that haven't been mentioned before... ever. That was my biggest objection to the movie.

To sum it up, another shallow action packed adrenaline rush delivered by Michael Bay, but certainly something better than some of the earlier installments. Unlike the others, this is watchable for both fans and those who just like to see things get smashed but with no Hulk around...… Expand
