Transformers: Age of Extinction

One of the best transformers film ever.

Totally awesome movie, I LOVE EXPLOSIONS!!!!11111

To be seen on an 1080p LED giant screen!

Good

You either love it or you hate it. Goes with the series.

I obviously love it! Hard to top the first as always. But another great cast. Job well done.

Movie was over before I knew it. Wishing for the next two!

vidangel version first watch with mom
a awesome action packed movie!

'Transformers: Age of Extinction'... what the hell happened here?! I actually seriously enjoyed a movie from this franchise, I'm honestly flabbergasted. It's written, directed and produced by the same people, though I wouldn't have predicted that whilst watching.

This, to me, felt almost entirely different to the preceding films in the series, despite the aforementioned. The opening 45-60 minutes are especially entertaining, it does wobble in that regard once or twice but when all is said and done I actually had a lot of fun with this!

I was, for the first time, actually invested into not just the robots but also the human characters too. It's a new bunch on the latter side and, despite minimally liking Shia LaBeouf & friends, I found this lot to be a big upgrade - the change also made it feel fresh. Mark Wahlberg is great as lead, Stanley Tucci and T.J. Miller (for once) are pluses as well.

Nicola Peltz and Jack Reynor are the weakest members of those onscreen, though even then I was still marginally interested in them. Kelsey Grammer, despite playing a fairly standard antagonist, is good, as is Li Bingbing in a relatively smaller role. Peter Cullen, John Goodman and Ken Watanabe, meanwhile, impress with their voices.

Upon starting this review, and still now, I was struggling to come up with negatives. I guess the near three-hour run time truly ought to be one, yet somehow it really... isn't, rather unexplainably. As for a criticism, the excessive product placement is all I've got, I'm afraid.

I'm yet to see the reception that this got, as usual I'm hoping my thoughts are not an outlier in a sea of dissatisfaction. I'd guess it's rated as mid-ly as the prior installments, at worst. Not that any of this is all that important of course, because I enjoyed it and that's all that matters. I did not expect to be saying that, at all!

checks reception: Welp. An outlier I seemingly am. Then again, 12k (on Letterboxd) others agree with my rating (and it incredibly again made a billion on the big screen, I see) so I guess it isn't as bad as it looks. Some uncertainty has crept into my mind, I'm thinking it over and comparing it with other films I've rated similarly and... it's not even in doubt. Wild.

Holy shit! This has got to be the biggest movie ever made! It's as American as, as, bullets, bombs and delicious, homemade red, white and blue pie. It's got a little of everything.

It's got references to; The Bourne Identity, Jurassic Park, Kung fu with 'fighting powder' (Jackie Chan style), Excalibur/The Sword in the Stone/King Arthur (take your pick), car and motorbike chases and a great sound track that will have you waving Old Glory this July 4th. Rock and Roll baby, time to crank Skynyrd's Free Bird to 11!

The CGI, EXPLOSIONS and fight sequences (both human and Transformers) are all tops (over the top and in your face, bitch!). Hong Kong, it's your turn. You get blown-up, sucked-up and crushed to dust and metal. At least your streets are made of really soft stuff for those injury-free landings...from skyscraper heights. :P

A fun, popcorn chomping, Summer Citybuster of a movie, if ever there was one. Leave your beliefs at the theater entrance, it ain't wanted around these parts. If this isn't Michael Bay's most out of this world/galaxy/known-universe movie to date, I'm dumbfounded as to what is. I can't wait to see how he's going to top this.

Even Steven Spielberg (Executive Producer) had to get in on the action! He went; "WTF Bay!?! I need some of this!!" LOL! WOW, what a ride. I was totally (over)entertained. 8/10

8.5/10
Really Good
This is by far the best
Transformers movie up
till this point, when it
gets going it's actually
Frickin Awesome and
a step up above all
the previous Installments.
I love Mark and the work
he does so having him
front and centre was a
Big win for me.
Tess hm....anyway
The stakes felt so desperate
in this and we definitely had
to fight to get a win,
The odds never felt so
stacked and for that
I applaud.
The Dino-Bots we're
always my favourite
so obviously this was my
Favourite part of the movie
but I must say this is my
favourite installment of the
hole franchise as this
movie is an ass-kicker
and past all the human
stuff It ends up being
a lot of fun.
