Okay
1st let me say this and get it out of the way, I’m a very huge fan of
transformers I watched the cartoon when I was a kid. I watched all the 4 movies
like a million times. Optimus Prime is my childhood hero I get goose pumps
every time he is on screen. I even own the action figure. Now with that out of
the way I can start my review or Transformers: Age of Extinction.
The
movie stars: Mark Wahlberg, Nicola Peltz, Jack Reynor,
Kelsey Grammer
and Stanley Tucci
and Peter Cullen
(voice of Optimus prime)
The
movie takes place 5 years after the events of Chicago (Transformers: dark
of the moon). I really liked that they brought all new
cast. It gave the movie a fresh start without ruining the story so it’s kind of
a reboot in the same time it’s not since it follows the story of its
predecessor’s. The Autobots
are now a target of nationwide manhunt but they don’t just get killed and dumped,
no, their parts are taken into a factory for Transformium so a company can manufacture
them. The humans are trying to make their own transformers (introducing Galvatron and stinger).
But the humans are not hunting alone. Lockdown
a bounty hunter transformer hunting down Optimus prime to bring him back to his
creators is helping the humans hunting the Autobots till he finds Optimus.
I
am not going to say any more, even though I wish but I don’t want to spoil the
movie for you. I much rather let you see for yourself. Plus I can go on and on
about the movie and I don’t want this to be a rant, but I will say this, I
really liked how the movie is about the new human characters in it. Sam
Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf)
who was the lead in all the predecessors doesn’t even get mentioned in the
movie even Optimus Prime who vowed to defend the boy knows better than to bring
him up. I think that’s because of what LaBeouf was doing lately getting into
fights with homeless men and wearing a brown paper bag on his head. If I were
in Michael Bay’s
shoes I would have done the same.
Since
Michael Bay is the Director of this movie. You can expect to see tons of
explosion, tons of cars being thrown around and girls in shorts. But I really
don’t mind since this formula works. The movie is nearly a billion on the box
office and it’s the 1st movie ever to cross the 300 million mark in China.
I
watched it twice already since it got released and I downloaded the movie
score. But I am a transformer’s manic so I don’t expect others to do the same.
Go
watch it and enjoy every second of it and I am sure you will love it. Before I
leave you here a quote from Optimus to show you how wise this guy is
“The
greatest weakness of most humans is their hesitancy to tell others how much
they love them while they are still alive”
Take
care and see you soon.
