Age Of Extinction more than delivers on whatever promises Bay makes to an audience at this point. Giant robots. Giant mayhem. Destruction on a global scale. You know what you're in for if you buy a ticket, and Bay seems determined to wear you down with the biggest craziest Transformers movie yet. Read full review

Transformers has ambition and attitude in its pores, and spectacle to spare. Bay shoots cars like they’re women, and people like they’re cars, and tosses around metal like it’s made from thin air. The film wasn’t meant to make you think, but it does. For better or worse, it’s cinema. Read full review

It is scattered, weightless, impossible to get hold of, and somehow, after seven years and more than 10 hours of screen time, I could not tell you what these films are about. Read full review

Ultimately, Age of Extinction is an endless barrage of nonsense and noise. Read full review

Belying its ominous title, Age of Extinction barely skirts the idea that humankind and planet Earth are about to be totally annihilated. What is extinguished is the audience's consciousness after being bombarded for nearly three hours with overwrought emotions...bad one-liners and battles that rarely rise above the banal.

The Bay-man has made the worst and most worthless Transformers movie yet. I know, hard to believe, right? How could any summer blockbuster be as dull, dumb and soul-sucking as the first three Transformers movies? Step right up. Read full review

Visuals and Audio are stunning. Dinobots and 3rd act still the show! Mark Walbergh is definitely a step up and Stanley Tucci delivers some of the best humor in the movie.

It certainly is not a perfect movie, but if you've enjoyed the previous ones, then don't let anyone dissuade you and just go see it. A lot of the complaints are just people nitpicking because their jobs as "reviewers" have warped their mind and keeps them from enjoying anything. However some of the complaints aren't just opinion, but fact. Yes, the movie is 30min to an hour too long and Yes, the third act goes to China just to appeal to Chinese audiences at the expense of the plot. I was tired of the childish humor from the previous movies and this one did away with it and just focused on the robots, which is good. So, go see it or don't, but make sure it is your own decision.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Mediclore. Why? Here:
* Its not too bad, but its too long, 3 HOURS!
* Exessive screaming and explosions worsen it too.
* The story is ok, but a bit sad, seeing Ratchet get killed within the first few moments as well as Lockdowns (which is cool since he is evil) brutal head ripping death.
* Too many human scenes which are mostly pointless.
* Not enough robots, too little.
* A bit too violent for little kids.
* Bad dialouge.

If there all the robot scenes are collected together, maybe the film would end up being 40 minutes long, far from 165 minutes… Expand

Well the good news is Age of Extinction isn't as offensive as Bay's previous Transformer outings.
Though the trailers promised something different this time around: more focus on character than bang, Age of Extinction quickly becomes more of the same big screen megalomania we expect fromWell the good news is Age of Extinction isn't as offensive as Bay's previous Transformer outings.
Though the trailers promised something different this time around: more focus on character than bang, Age of Extinction quickly becomes more of the same big screen megalomania we expect from Mr. Bay.
Mass destruction, exceptionally incoherent and punishingly loud and long.
Best watched in several sittings, Age of Extinction is an exhausting piece of American excess.… Expand

Amidst the too constant explosions this movie is lazy and boring in almost every way possible. This has to have been the worst movie i'v ever seen for the budget used. Crapping on storyline aside(movies have their own take on things thats the way it is) there is little redeeming content toAmidst the too constant explosions this movie is lazy and boring in almost every way possible. This has to have been the worst movie i'v ever seen for the budget used. Crapping on storyline aside(movies have their own take on things thats the way it is) there is little redeeming content to this film. The human protagonists are little more than simple character tropes, the gaps in logic you usually just chalk up to hey its a movie leave you feeling like your stupid or the director thinks your stupid, and the story is little more than action cliches strung together to make kinda sense. Who would have though the only thing keeping this string of farces from being wholly soulless was our shared hate for Shia Labeouf.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Literally one of the worst movies of all time. Action is the only thing this movie has going for. If you want characters you empathize with, a decent plot, and correct geographical depictions, this is the movie to avoid. Hong Kong does not just border onto forest. Mark Wahlberg should just stick to comedy as this may be his most unconvincing performance yet. What a waste of my time.… Expand
