    Transformers: Age of Extinction

    I can not remember the last time I sat in a movie theater and often checked the time hoping that a movie would just end. However, I watched Transformers: Age of Extinction until the very end, hoping that the "epic finale" would make up for for the messy, dumb, and unexciting film I was watching. The finale was just as disappointing as the rest of the movie with noisy, empty action that was hard to follow, and not at all interesting, gripping or thrilling. Had this movie been an hour shorter, I could have accepted it simply as mindless entertainment, but at 3 hours it all stops being amusing and becomes stale and tiresome. On top of the utter messiness of the plot the acting was bad, the characters were trivial, and the dialogue was atrocious. Almost every single character in this film does something so utterly stupid in an attempt to move the plot along, that you can't help but wonder how they survived for as long as they have. At times, the decisions these characters make are nothing more than laughable. However, the biggest "crime" this movie commits was that it had moments of potential that it completely wasted. One good action scene would be followed by five that are completely nonsensical. One witty piece of dialogue would be the predecessor to an endless array of garbage lines that try to be funny but fail miserably. The movie itself started out okay before taking a nosedive into stupidity half an hour into the story. For those of you want to see this movie for the special effects and explosions, I will admit that the CGI was very good, but it wasn't used to any lasting effect. Towards the end of the movie, you don't really notice the explosions anymore as that is all you've been watching for the past two and a half hours. The score was quite good, but these minor benefits can not make up for a horrible film. I never played with Transformers toys, so I can not speak on the behalf of fans of the franchise, however I will not recommend this movie to anyone.
