Critics Consensus

With the fourth installment in Michael Bay's blockbuster Transformers franchise, nothing is in disguise: Fans of loud, effects-driven action will find satisfaction, and all others need not apply.

David Sims

The Atlantic

Since the film is a chilling two hours and 45 minutes long, that means one's mind quickly wanders, dancing across this film's many flaws, little and big.

Richard Brody

The New Yorker

The few authentic inspirations to be found in the movie's hundred and sixty-five roiling minutes involve gigantic science-fiction contrivances.

To those who say rape culture is a myth, we say "Behold, Transformers 4".

It goes to show what a little focus and restraint (and I do emphasize “a little”) can do.

Deep Focus Review

Bay’s garbled action, Kruger’s scattershot writing, dull humans, underdeveloped robots—these are the same issues that have plagued Transformers movies since the start.

Somehow it's worse than 2. SOMEHOW. This is a very very very bad movie. Terrible characters. The pacing is atrocious. The humor? Don't even want to talk about it.

Transformers: Age of Extinction is a bad movie. But it is better than Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. It doesn't provide lots of dumb things like in the second one, but there are pointless and dumb scenes that are boring fo watch. Aside from that, I liked the concept of the Autobots being hunted down, but it wasn't executed well. The main villain, Lockdown, isn't necessary, his motives for capturing Optimus Prime make sense a bit, but he doesn't fit in the "Autobots being hunted down" story, he's basically just an addition to the film, it would've made more sense if Galavtron was the one who hunted the Autobots instead of Lockdown, and the movie could've ended as a Quadrilogy. Also, the Dinobots don't feel like actual characters, they're just there to be cool and cause more destruction. Overall, Transformers: Age of Extinction is a bad film, it's amazing special effects doesn't save this movie from being bad, but this movie is worth watching more than Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen with your friends and family.

It doesn’t deserve this much hate, bayformers is an action series and this movie does deliver, if you were expecting some sort of heartfelt story for 2 hrs and 45 minutes like many clueless critics you might need to question your intelligence.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
