Transformers: Age of Extinction (Blu-ray + DVD)

Decent movie
So. I wasn't as much of a fan when this first came out, but I'm more of a fan now when watching it in my adulthood. you get more personality out of the Autobots, more gritty emotions, and despite what some people say, they reactions are very reasonable considering how terrible the situation they are in has become. I'd say the human characters were decent, although this movie suffers from the same eye-rolling useless female character making life hard for people. Really no need to ad a damsel in distress to the mix when everyone already had plenty to worry about. And, of course there are things that don't make sense when you really think about it, just as there were for the previous movies, but it was still very enjoyable. A step down from Dark of the Moon in quality, but we still get very decent action scenes and it's otherwise entertaining. I would recommend it.

Transformers: Age of Extinction 4k
Better audio & visuals over the bluray or DVD disc's. Not saying that the other versions are bad. Just to buy the disc version that will be best optimized on your setup. As of this review, the advertised expired digital code still works.

Good Action
Warning: SpoilersWhat I enjoyed about this movie is the action sequences. They have been exciting and fun to watch in all of the movies. It's giant robots fighting in HD, so it's hard to go wrong there.However, there are several things that could be improved upon. The first is what spoiled the movie for me the most, which is the unoriginal story. Why does there always have to be a damsel in distress in every transformers movie? Why is she constantly getting rescued, only to play a pivotal role in the very end where the good guys wouldn't win if she wasn't there? All four movies have been the same in this regard, there's a hot girl that likes the nerd, she is getting in trouble a lot but she has this independent attitude where she's going to do what she wants, and in the end she has a eureka moment that ends up saving the Earth. I'm tired of seeing this four times in a row now.Furthermore, I'm not very excited to see a cheesy, stereotypical love story in a movie about giant robots. Almost every romance in a movie has the same nuances (e.g., James Bond), and I'm tired of it. I'm sure the majority of the people that watch these movies get some subtle enjoyment out of watching the good guy get the girl, but I don't. I paid to watch giant robots fight each other, not to see a melodramatic romantic comedy embedded in every scene. I'm guessing that there has been a new female actress in every movie because they ask for twice as much as what they got last time, and they don't care so they just hire someone else.Third, while watching the Transformers movies I have always sat there wondering why they bother giving humans leading roles. Transformers should be about the transformers, they should be the main characters. They try so hard to give the humans any level of significance that it ends up being annoying. Having Marky Mark fend off Lockdown at the end with a sword-that-is-also-a-gun really made me want to stop watching. Lockdown goes around the Universe for centuries capturing the most wanted transformers, he nearly kills Optimus multiple times, and this human is actually winning a fight with him. Give me a break, I don't believe it. They did this in the other 3 movies too, somehow the main character is able to fight off transformers while everyone else is getting picked off left and right (except for the main character's friends, they are impossible to kill too).Fourth, they really seem to have stopped trying in some of the action sequences. In the scene where the ship they were flying in was shot down, it smashes into the Earth into a giant fireball and tumbles into multiple buildings, and at the end of it all the humans step out of the open cockpit just fine. How were they not killed in the collision? Or the giant fireball? And why were they not thrown from the open cockpit? It's like they said who cares, let's have a big crash scene right here.Fifth, I was really bothered by the blatant advertising throughout the movie. In one scene they crash into a Bud Light truck, and all of the bottles fly all over the ground. No bottles are smashed or anything, they must have not cared enough to make this part realistic. They end up panning over the bud light bottles for what feels like 5 seconds. For 5 seconds in this movie I'm staring at Bud Light bottles, and they thought this wouldn't be noticeable? Maybe they were forced to add it and they made the scene really crappy on purpose to spite their bosses? And at the end of the scene the hero pops one open and drinks it casually before throwing it on the ground. I wonder how much they paid for that scene. There also seems to be some Asian milk product in a juice box being advertised. I recognize it from the third movie--the milk the guy that gets pushed through a window was drinking. Well, they take 5 more seconds to show the inventor casually sitting in a chair drinking from the same juice box, literally nothing else is happening in the scene. They must be paying a lot for that cameo.My dream is to have a Transformers movie where there are no humans involved, at least not in anything more than a supporting role. I want to see transformers, I don't want to see terrible acting ruining every movie. I want to learn about the background of the transformers, I don't want a new story conjured up about the humans that is explained in depth in every single movie. Skip the boring first hour of the movie where they introduce the humans and replace it with us learning about the transformers. They just introduce these new transformers in every movie and we don't even learn their names! Why can't their personalities be explored? Why can't we get to know them on the same level as the human main characters? It is a missed opportunity. And if they do make the transformers the main characters, _please_ don't add in a transformer damsel and a love story to go along with it.So I give it 3/5, and I hope they try harder next time.

Worthy of Your Time
In every Transformer movie there are a multitude of things to like and dislike. However, those who give this movie a poor review are looking at it solely from a very narrow perspective. There are some very subtle hints at several iconic memes. The Messiah theme surfaces several times in various scenes and most prominently at the end of the movie's last closing scenes. All through the movie there are sprinklings of iconic memes which deal with classic qualities of the ancient concept of honor, courage and selfless sacrifice for the benefit of other before self; something that is sadly lacking in the majority of films today. The other thing about this movie versus previous Transformer movies is that you could see much more of the Autobot fight scenes than in previous movies from this franchise as opposed to nothing but a bunch of blurred metal with a voice. Well done to the director and techs for this pleasant change. As far as the length, something that is totally subject, if you have troubling focusing more than an hour to an hour and a half you might find this film challenging. My approach to an extra long film is to watch half one day and the following day finish the other half. The acting was solid so no complaints there. However, the best part of this film is the fact that every other word wasn't profanity or swearing; family friendly and easy on the ears. There simply is nothing artful about a script that has a string of profanity in what seems to be the prominent part of the dialogue. If you are a sci-fi buff or you are entertained by robot themed works, this is a film you should see.

Non stop action with comedy
It is really hard to justify 4 stars for this movie, but it really is all non stop action, and it seems some of the characters don’t take it seriously. Who knew Stanley Tucci was such a comedian. And Tess who never got her lipstick smeared. There are a lot of sly jokes thrown in which some may miss, but elevates the movie. It is too long and too much in the way of explosions, but that is to be expected, as the demographic that the movie appeals to would want that and more. The special effects are really the whole movie. Plot is mundane. And the CGI is done very well and even inventive.

Its the 3D Version!
Its not listed as 3D Bluray in the title, but to be fair the image does clearly show its 3D, but its easy to miss this detail and receive a bluray you can't do much with.There does not appear to be a non 3d version of the movie on the disk unfortunately.

Excellent 3D experience - but leave your brain at the door...
Natively shot in 3D and with the 1.90:1 IMAX aspect ratio scenes in tact, this is by far the best way to watch this movie. The 4K UHD Blu-Ray is excellent, to be sure, but this film was created for 3D, and the 3D makes a real and appreciable difference to the experience of watching the movie - you can almost forgive it all of its other faults.
