The first half or so takes place in the United States - in rural Texas and urban Chicago, to be exact.

(It’s just two minutes shorter than “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” for a bit of perspective.) But Bay, his international cast and his massive explosives team at least seem slightly more self-aware in telling this terrible tale.Īctually, the script from returning writer Ehren Kruger (who wrote the second and third “Transformers” installments) feels like two entirely separate movies slammed up against each other. With a running time of two hours and 45 minutes, “Age of Extinction” is butt-numbingly long and padded with hilariously obvious product placement to appeal to the widest possible international audience. That’s not to say that it’s “good,” per se. Long before Optimus Prime hoists his hulking metal frame onto the back of a giant robot dinosaur, wields his mighty sword and rides valiantly away to save the planet once more, “Transformers: Age of Extinction” plays like a parody of the bloated, self-important Michael Bay blockbuster.įinally, with the fourth film in the epic franchise about vehicles that turn into talking robots, Bay seems to recognize the innate ridiculousness of these characters, this world, this overblown aesthetic that is his signature. Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action, language and brief innuendo.
