Transformers: Age of Extinction
In terms of direction, screenplay, special effects, music, etc, this movie was no different from the rest of the Transformers films. It was, essentially, just more of the same that we get with each new entry to the series. However, I must praise the change in cast and the story. It was nice to see some new characters instead of the, dare I say it, boring and slightly underdeveloped Sam Witwicky, as well as a new batch of Transformers. Of course they had to keep in the mains, notably Optimus Prime and Bumblebee, but most of them were completely new characters, and all of them were unique and interesting. It was a good overall story, and it was nice to see a new badass race of Transformers (The Dinobots). The action scenes were great as always, and it was nice to see Michael Bay ease up on the number of explosions this time around. Overall, a solid film, and it shows that effort was made to bring the series back to what it started out as.
