It ’s not just the latest installments in such amusing book superhero picture franchises as Spider - Man and tenner - Men that are " bigger " than their forerunner and filled to the rim with new character improver . With this June’sTransformers : eld of Extinction , director Michael Bay aims to not only partly boot the sketch - turn alive - action sci - fi / action franchise and lie the groundwork foranother film trilogy(one he maynotdirect ) - he also intend to outmatch what he ’s attain in pastTransformersmovies , in terms of naked spectacle and sheer robots - in - disguise body enumeration ( now that the Dinobots have been bestow to the mix ) .
That ’s no small task , either , as Bay ’s lastTransformersfilm , Dark of the Moon , postulate the city of Chicago being laid to ruin during a confrontation between the Autobots and Decepticons . Age of Extinctionpicks up just a few years after that event , as nowallTransformers are deliberate to be threats to world by the governments of the world . That explains why Optimus Prime has been hiding out as a broken - down , tatty truck of tardy - something that ’s teased in thefirstAge of Extinctiontrailer- as well as why , harmonise to new story details , the Autobots ' leader is a fiddling more bitter and disillusioned than accustomed when the celluloid bug out out - having found himself being trace by the very Earthlings that he ’s long help out . babble out about want of gratitude .
However , with help from gearhead Cade Yeager ( Mark Wahlberg ) , Optimus have back into good deal fighting condition soon enough , with additional shiny upgrades to thrill . ( We ’ll call Yeager the Mickey to Optimus ' Rocky ) . Bumblebee is also back with some betterment ; asTransformersproducer Lorenzo di Bonaventura toldUSA Today , such changes to the sports fan - favourite Autobots are the result of Bay being"conscientious about the need to keep topping ' the last one'“with each new TF installment .
Bay also count in on Optimus ' tweaked look inAge of Extinction , tellingUSA Today :
" A lot of people are like , ' What does that think of , Transformers 4 ? ' It ’s like Batman with a new causa . We involve to commute the look from top to bottom . "

Much like in Bay ’s lastTransformersmovie , inAge of Extinctionthestory elements relate the Transformers mythology- as well as the thin relationship between humans and Cybertron kind - appear to be by and large more interesting and , thematically , disconnected from the subplots involving Wahlberg ’s part , his girl ( Nicola Peltz ) , her boyfriend ( Jack Reynor ) and a funny relief buddy named Lucas ( T.J. Miller ) .
BothDark of the MoonandAge of Extinctionwere scripted by Ehren Kruger , who has yet to show that he ’s able to use the Transformers as both literal charactersandmetaphors for the experience of the human instrumentalist , like Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci were ( at least , partly ) successful at doing on the firstTransformersmovie - and even the partstheywrote for the much - align second moving picture , Revenge of the Fallen . After all , the human fictional character are a necessary cost - cutting measure , so they might as well be throw something worthwhile to do - during scenes where Transformersaren’tbattling one another ( or Optimus Primeisn’tshowing off his excited Dinobot equitation skills ) .
talk of which - crack out the newAge of Extinctionposter premiere byDen of Geek(see below ) , which shows just that . Hopefully , there will be even more sick military action footage on display in the motion picture ’s next trailer , which could be go far as soon as within the next few twenty-four hours . ( Be indisputable and remain tune to Screen Rant , for more details on that as they issue . )
