Transformers "Age Of Extinction"

[darien87]

But Michael Bay is right, no matter how bad the movie and all the complaints, people will pay to see it.

And therein lies the problem. If people would stop paying to see these crappy movies maybe it would force Bay and all those like him to try to tell a decent story instead of just blowing things up.

It's kinda like cotton candy. It's a nothing but overpriced, colorful spun sugar, has no real substance, does nobody any good, and yet there's always a ready market for that sugary confection.

You didn't expect this to be good did you? First ones were some of the dumbest movies I've ever seen.

i didn't expect this to be good. i agree that the first three were super dumb as well.

but this movie makes the first three look like movie masterpieces.

-0-

and i know beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but the lead actress was far from hot. i'm guessing Bay and me have opposite definitions of hot. (as i hated every female lead after megan fox)

also, mentioning that she was underage in the movie pretty much made sure i didn't look at her a second glance.

-0-

i'm at 1hr 45 mins, fast forwarded through some parts of the movie, because i wanted to get to the end, checked the time left and was floored that there was still an hour of garbage to go through ... turned off the player and called it a night.

Yeah, I got through about half way and then stopped. I'll try to finish the movie tonight. This movie is really bad.

Story must be written by a 10 yr old boy. Directed by some guy with a brain of a 10 yr old boy. They need to fire that sorry moron Bay.

 

[3db]

I told you so

Spoiler

1) why does optimus prime need a spaceship or wings (from jetfire) to fly when he apparently has jetpacks that can fly through space?
2) when optimus was banged up, he said "i need the autobots to fix me" but on the way to the autobots, he scans a truck and then he's back to perfect condition (never mind using the loudest colors and markings on a truck)

 

[AcuDefTechGuy]

I told you so

Yeah. I was hoping to see a lot more of the Dinobots.

Age of Extinction made $107,000,000 LESS than Dark of the Moon.

The Transformers is about to become EXTINCT unless they fire Bay's sorry butt.

Hasbro needs to do what Marvel and DC Comics are doing. Take over and do it right. First thing is to fire the director.

Micheal Bay is the perfect director for the transformer movies. They are movies about robots that turn into cars and punch each other, ie movies for 10 year olds. These movies exist solely to sell merchandise, so who cares if they are good or not? Personally I would much rather Bay stay in the robot cars genre than ever approach historical recreation again like his truly cringe-inducing Pearl Harbor. I want Bay to stay where he is, where he won't attempt anything with artistic and social merit and thus can be easily ignored.

Too bad this wasn't a better flick ..judging from the review below, it looks like excellent demo for both audio and video... even as Dolby Atmos decoding thrown in

You're wasting your time watching the non-Atmos version. Atmos also elevates bad scripts

.... For Best Director, the Oscar goes to Michael Bay for the ATMOS-version of Transformers Age of Extinction.

.... For Best Actor, the Oscar goes to Mark Wahlberg for the ATMOS-version of Transformers Age of Extinction.

.... And for Best Supporting Actor, the Oscar goes to Optimus Prime for the ATMOS-version of Transformers Age of Extinction.

I'm not even going to rent it.

I thought the soundtrack was very good. But I didn't feel it was among the best.

I love pure eye-candy movies for what they are. But OMG, this movie was really pushing it. The Dinobots got about 10 minutes of screen time? They should have been the main focus for this movie.

About 99% of the movie had plot holes. OMG.

One minute Prime is about dead. The next minute he is brand new. Michael Bay is retarded. Every scene was a plot hole. Unbelievable.

You'll probably see it on Netflix streaming.

As unbelievably horrific as this movie is, you still want to at least see the Dinobots for the small amount of time they were on the screen - like after 2 hrs into the movie.

I did it dude. I walked into Walmart, saw the shiny display stand filled full with this flick and I kept walking buy. Never even stopped to pick it up.

The good thing about Netflix is that costs the same for this as any other movie. If you're prudent about running them quickly, it can be quite a bargain.

Plus, The 2D blu-ray will probably be in Wal-marts $7.88 bin in about a year.

I'm eagerly awaiting for season 2 of Arrow to show up on Netflix
