Transformers: Age of Extinction

Synopsis: TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION begins after an epic battle left a great city torn, but with the world saved. As humanity picks up the pieces, a shadowy group reveals itself in an attempt to control the direction of history…while an ancient, powerful new menace sets Earth in its crosshairs. With help from a new cast of humans (led by Mark Wahlberg), Optimus Prime and the Autobots rise to meet their most fearsome challenge yet. In an incredible adventure, they are swept up in a war of good and evil, ultimately leading to a climactic battle across the world. [Source: Cathay Cineplexes]

 
The highly anticipated Transformer sequel is finally here. This time, a new cast is assembled as well as a new species of transformer called the Dinobots are introduced. As usual, there are lots of actions and fighting scenes but the number of autobots transformers on screen seems to have dropped to just a pathetic four. Overall, the movie is pretty average but I still highly recommend to catch it in IMAX. One bad point of this movie is that I feel that sponsors for this movie seems to have a larger say. The brand exposure in the movie seems to have gone overboard, so much so that scenes and actions are being forced into the movie just for the one or two seconds branding exposure. In summary, being a transformers movie, it is still a good catch.
 
Rate: 7.5/10
