In recent times, the definition of a summer blockbuster (Hollywood) has become synonymous with endless action sequences aided by CGI, a bunch of characters who refuse to die in otherwise life-threatening situations, and incoherent plot whose only objective is to induce those mindless action sequences every 10 minutes. Especially the super-hero movies. To top it, these movies have total disregard for human lives. As long as the heroes - and to some extent villains - survive till the last frame, nobody cares what happens to the extras or the environs that they occupy.
For instance - Avengers, Captain America - Winter Soldier, Man of Steel (at least Man of Steel had some plot). And the recent addition is the movie mentioned at the top. It really IS an "Age of Extinction" of smart movies, movies which count their audience to be intelligent beings. Will someone please stand up and create a movie worth its billing?!!
Mark Wahlberg’s talent is wasted in this movie. Such a shame.
My Rating for Transformers 4: 1.5/10.
Don't bother going to theaters. Wait for its TV premiere and give it a miss too to exact your revenge for such a sub-standard piece of work.
