Transformers, Age of Extinction

Transformers, Age of Extinction

Finally, Autobots have the good stuff. 

The 4th part of the Transformers series is a typical Transformers movie with good animation, good music but a very weak story line. It starts with American Military Team Black Ops killing one of the Autobots  and introduction of the new villain Lockdown, a very powerful transformer send by the Creators to retrieve our hero Optimus Prime back to his origin. Lockdown is helped by an ex-CIA agent (the human villain of the movie) in his mission.

Our human hero Kate Yeager, is a protective father of his teenage girl Tessa. He tries to pay the bills, Tessa's college fees with help of his friend and partner in Yeager Robotics, Lucas Flannery. In search of their work, they get a damaged truck (You have guessed it correctly). this truck is none other than our hero Optimus Prime. Then enters the CIAs who are finding Optimus for Lockdown. After a long chase, these people with Optimus and Tessa's boyfriend Shane, are successful to dodge these CIA.

And now starts the protective father drama between the human leads. When other alive autobots get together, we get the new look of our favorite autobot Bumbble Bee. And now we are introduced to another inventor and producer of transformers Joshua. He is manufacturing a new line of transformers by using the metal "transformium", which is the main element of the transformation of these bots. In his manufacturing process, he uses Megatron's brain to decode transformers. (So, this is the birth of Megatron again.)

The most awaiting dinobots arrive much later in the movie, which is somewhat disappointing. Optimus with help of these dinobots fight the army created by Joshua and controlled by Galvatron (Megatron), the main transformer prototype of the army. After this, Lockdown faces Optimus. At the end Optimus, lives Earth to find the Creators. Galvatron succeeds in escaping the fight (another open thread for the sequel).

The movie is not successful in bringing them on the edge of seats. The animation and music is much better than previous parts but story is very weak. The human characters are not portrayed as good as Sam Wickwiky, but new transformers are good. I will give this movie a 6.5 out of 10 for Optimus, Dinobots, Bumbble Bee and animation.
