The Hit
If Michael Bay, a poor storyline and an extreme amount of
explosions and action come to mind when you think Transformers, you’ll know just
what to expect with Age of Extinction. Optimus Prime has a new paint job and Bumblebee
is back as a sick new Camaro, but there’s still a lot of the same we've come to
expect from the franchise.
The only flaw I found was the storyline. It was all over the place
and had no clear motive. Just like the second installment, Revenge of the
Fallen, the plot was, to put it in a single word was, crap. Age of Extinction
ended with a hint of another movie, and I’ve heard that Michael Bay won’t be directing
the next time around. Hopefully the new guy can create a better plot.
The thing that saved the movie for me was the visuals. The
Transformers were shown in greater detail and wider shots made them enormous compared
to the humans. When compared with even more action than its predecessors, Age
of Extinction was quite breathtaking.
The Verdict
- See it
- Don't see it
- RENT IT (Unless You're a diehard Transformers fan)
