The 4th entry of the Transformers series has ventured into a fantasy adventure with completely different cast, different style and different tone but Michael Bay proves that he does not really need a superior Oscar level story to maintain his robotic franchise as an entertaining popcorn flick. While the destruction is not as big as in Dark of the Moon, adding more retro style fighting scenes between Transformers would definitely fulfill the fan base but they might be a bit upset due to the limited appearance of the cool Dinobots and Galvatron. Of course, being the first to be filmed in IMAX 3D cameras, Bay has guaranteed a sophisticated visual stunning experience to the audiences. Kruger's script might be a little bit of overlong with some usual unnecessary scenes but it is glad to see that the overall tone of the film appears to be more serious. Mark Wahlberg and Stanley Tucci performed well together with the robots, Kelsey Grammar is perfectly made up for the villain; but Jack Reynor and Nicola Peltz lost their chemistry with Wahlberg. The scores, composed by both Hans Zimmer and Steve Jablonsky, as well as music from Imagine Dragon have changed as well, but it is still powerful and explosive just as the film. Overall, audiences would just need a relaxing mind to enjoy this summer blockbusters which is totally full of fun without needing to squeeze their mind until the ending.
