Cast: Mark Wahlberg, Stanley Tucci
Epic Rating: 4/10
Transformers: Age of Extinction is a semi reboot to the Transformers Trilogy, but is still continued form the past movies. For those of you that enjoyed the first three, this film is sure to entertain and excite. For the others, this is just another Michael Bay explosion special.
The forth Transformers movie sees a changed world. After the events in Chicago the Transformers are being hunted down by the government, both Autobots and Decepticons. The remaining robots go into hiding, and seek to find a way to convince the humans to live in harmony. Meanwhile, a new enemy emerges from space, and seeks to destroy every Transformer in his way.
This movie also sees an entirely new cast take over the human side of the story. Instead of childish Sam Witwicky’s story, Mark Wahlberg takes center stage and we now follow him and his family throughout the movie. As well as humans, new Autobots are introduced, as well as the infamous Dino-Bots for a few short moments at the end.
I really enjoyed the first three Transformers, but sadly this one just felt hollow. While in it's three hour length the movie provides enough special effects and action sequences to keep anyone entertained, it adds to many story lines and hollow characters to the mix, creating a confusing mix to make everyone question who is the real villain. To me, this movie felt like two movies in one, and could have easily been split into two, more fleshed out adventures.
