Transformers: Age of Extinction

Worst of the transformers movies. Was okay until about a 3rd of the way through. Mark Wahlberg was better than Shia, but the movie was bloated with too many similar scenes.

Enough chase scenes and slow motion explosions for the whole of 2014. It would be nice to see some sort of characters developed for the transformers. Because they are created as one dimensional punchlines there is no possibility to have any interesting story that involves the transformers interacting with each other.

Wait for the DVD if you must see it, but you wont be missing much if you avoid it all together.

I saw this at a premier event in IMAX 3D. Age of Extinction probably has the worst plot of all the transformers. It's like they didn't even try to develop a story line. It's over 2 1/2 hours of explosions and CGI with cool but uninteresting characters. I feel like they could have done a much better job if they developed the characters more and had better dialogue as the characters had potential. If you are a child this movie is perfect. Lots of pretty eye candy. IMAX 3D looked great although sometimes the picture got blurry. This never happens in Real 3D. I just wish this movie was shorter as I watched it on a Wednesday and didn't get home till late.

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. One of the best lines, "Man, I hate sequels they always suck and never do as good as the first." Bonus points for self deprecation!

Worth a rental - but forewarning it's a three hour tour.

Transformers: Age of Extinction attempts to breathe new life into the franchise with a new cast led by Mark Wahlberg and an ambitious storyline that revolves around humanity's evolving relationship with Transformers. While the film boasts impressive visuals and action sequences that are signature to Michael Bay's direction, it falls short in terms of narrative cohesion and character development.

The film picks up five years after the events of Dark of the Moon, featuring a world that is fearful and distrustful of Transformers. Wahlberg plays Cade Yeager, a struggling inventor who discovers Optimus Prime, setting off a chain of events that leads to an epic battle against a new threat. While the dynamic between Cade and Optimus has the potential for intrigue, it often gets overshadowed by the excessive action and explosions that dominate the runtime.

One of the film's strengths is its breathtaking special effects and set pieces, which showcase the transformations and battles in a way that is visually enticing. However, at nearly three hours, the film's pacing suffers from long stretches of exposition and unneeded subplots that detract from the main storyline.

Character development is another significant drawback, with many of the supporting characters feeling underwritten and lacking depth. The film introduces new characters who fail to leave a lasting impression, making it hard for audiences to connect with their arcs.

Ultimately, Transformers: Age of Extinction delivers on visual spectacle but struggles to provide a compelling narrative. Fans of the franchise will likely enjoy the action-packed sequences, but those seeking a well-rounded story may find it lacking.

Transformers: Age of Extinction is the fourth film of the Transformers franchise, a franchise that's known for being explosive and action- packed and kind of dumb. This film is no exception, it follows the other films like in the exact same regard. But I do think this is an improvement from Dark of the Moon and a BIG improvement from the horrid, Revenge of the Fallen. The film takes a bit more serious approach, but don't get me wrong it still has some stupid humor, just not as much as the previous films, which is pretty refreshing.

The action scenes in here are pretty outstanding and it actually has much more wide shots than the previous movies. You can actually see the large scale of these giant robots in breathtaking detail. The visual- effects are fantastic as they usually are with these films, it definitely delivers in that department. However as usual there are numerous problems with the script and story, it's senseless as usual, but not as annoying as "Revenge of the Fallen", the dialogue is weak, but at least it's not mindbogglingly stupid. Also the Autobots and even the Decepticons have more of a personality than they used to. Grimlock is a fantastic addition in this film, but I would have liked to have seen a bit more of him.

For those who didn't care for Michael Bay's past Transformers films, you probably won't like this because it has even more mindless extravaganza action packed scenes, just like the other films did. However audiences who are game to board the extravagance train will find that Age of Extinction hits all the notes that a Transformers movie ought to. So if you didn't like any of the other past Transformers movies, don't bother watching this cause you'll probably won't become fan after this. If you liked the other ones then you'll most likely be in for a fun ride like I was.
