Transformers: Age Of Extinction (2014) is the fourth movie in the Transformers movie series. It has a better lead cast member in Mark Wahlberg, and its plot has a better level of originality & intrigue than the previous movie in the series. It’s also a bit more grown up – a bit less childish than those before it, at least to begin with, and not by much.
The final battle scene drags on a bit, much like the last movie, but I guess it’s a bit more multi-faceted this time.
I’m disappointed in how Optimus Prime convinced the old dinosaur transformers to help him – by telling them he will kill them if they don’t. What kind of leadership skills is this movie trying to teach our youth? What kind of a world is Hasbro trying to create with this type of tripe?
The tedius ending and the awful example of supposedly benevolent leadership, along with multiple instances of inappropriate, low-IQ emotional outbursts, come together to bring this movie back down to being roughly on a par with first couple of Transformers movies, although it’s still comfortably a bit better than the 3rd.
