*****

Transformers: Age of Extinction a state-of-the-art 3D mega adventure film is a 165 minutes mind blowing enterprise from Director Michael Bay and his team

With a completely new cast and mechanical combatant and partly shot in a never before seen Hong Kong locales makes this movie an extraordinary franchise.

Age of Extinction is a sci-fi action blockbuster and a technical marvel created by Bay.

Cade Yeager [Mark Wahlberg] is a small time inventor, as he lands into trouble when he buys a truck as he intends to make pieces and sell to pay the rent and college fees of his teenage daughter Tessa [Nicola Peltz]. To his horror the vehicle is none other than Optimus Prime [voiced by Peter Cullen] and he is the leader of the Autobots .In near past Optimus and his group have been shun by the elite force as considering them a threat.

CIA agent Harold Attinger [Kelsey Grammer] an obsessively paranoid by the threat of Prime gets Decepticon [Frank Welker voices] and his troupe to track down Prime. As a result Prime rearranges his old pals Bumblebee an Autobot scout and Hound [Goodman], Drift [Watanabe], Crosshairs [DiMaggio] to fight to finish the Deception warriors. A colossal combative fight starts between them, as the Autobots conquest on Deception warriors.

Wahlberg has less freedom to perform in whole as a troubled father and taunting interactions with her daughter’s boyfriend Shane [Jack Reynor] are cliché moments.

Though the movie is worth watching for its latest Effects and sound design which will give you believable experience of a vision which Director Bay has delivered in Transformers: Age of Extinction.
