After
the success of Transformers: Dark Side of the Moon Michael Bay decided to break
briefly from Transformers project and return to the small projects that reflect
the beginning of his career. That's why he decided to film Pain and Gain,
starring Mark Wahlberg and The duet Rock last year. After a refreshing moment
with such a small project, Michael Bay finally went back to the Transformers
franchise, Mark Wahlberg hook participate replace Shia LaBeouf. Not only
LaBeouf who resigned from the project, the whole Michael Bay really want to
introduce the human characters to make the franchise's new re-fresh. Is his
attempt successful?
Almost
the same as the duration of time between the third and fourth films,
Transformers: Age of Extinction was set in four to five years after the
climactic battle at the end of the third film which is now called The Battle of
Chicago. After this war the American government took a different view of the
Autobots and Decepticons. They positioned them as an alien race of robots that
are considered harmful to the earth's war. The remaining Autobots hiding hunted
by humans are allied with the new Transformers called Lockdown. Optimus Prime himself
was seriously injured and is found in the form of his truck by a robot creator
from Texas: Cade Yeager.
Cade
with his daughter Tessa caught hiding Optimus Prime and start being hunted by
the United States government under the leadership of Harold James Attinger and
Savoy. Not known by Cade, Tessa, and the other Autobots are Attinger actually
working with companies that want to have the MSG industry metamoforsis
technology of the Transformers robots for themselves (in order to get profit as
much as possible).Please Click here
I was
quite surprised to see this movie has an official budget 'only' a 165 million
USD whereas the duration of the film broadcast reaches nearly three hours. And
what else do you ekspektasikan of the film by Michael Bay? Of course: the
explosion. I remember that in Transformers: Dark of the Moon, Michael Bay
Transformers movie promises a different but the result was the same. Therefore
when he (again) said that Transformers: Age of Extinction, supposedly
positioned as the first film in the new trilogy, the Transformers darker, I no
longer believe in that simple words.
In
reality though Transformers: Age of Extinction does have a slightly darker tone
than its predecessor, it is still the movie Transformers as we know it first.
Mark Wahlberg who replaces Shia LaBeouf here is the right choice for the
character of Sam is already exhausted exhumed from three previous Transformers
movies. Cade insert here unfortunately does not give a new breath for this film
because his character is fairly flat course. Worse two young children in this
film: Nicola Peltz and Jack Reynor both performed poorly and boring. It hurt
for Peltz because she is not as sweet as sexy as Megan Fox or Rosie
Huntington-Whiteley made her acting increasingly uncovered weaknesses. The
same money with Jack Reynor that figure here drab, ngesok, and annoying.
You
could say of many human characters that exist only interest is Joshua Joyce,
played by Stanley Tucci appropriately. Tucci is one of the most underrated
actors follows and he once again showed his ability to perform in any capacity
in this film, be it a role or roles seriously funny. Some Chinese artists such
as Li Bing Bing and cameo-Hong Kong superstar cameo others also appear here,
but more as eye candy and a pleasant surprise for the audience East Asia.
Paramount
is not stupid. They know that the movie Transformers: Dark of the Moon get 20%
more of their revenue from East Asian countries such as China, Hong Kong,
Japan, and South Korea that this film provides a lot of servings in the
country. For instance filming is pretty much taking portion in China and Hong
Kong while from the ranks of the new Autobots introduced Drift, an Autobot's
voice filled by Ken Watanabe. For the South Korean public is present boysband a
member of Super Junior in a cameo capacity ... So complete. Michael Bay is so
obsessed in meeting the public's appetite there, sometimes I think that he
prostituting a quarter share.
But
that's Michael Bay. Although he had to prostitute this franchise to fulfill
their taste it does so with style. Transformers: Age of Extinction may be a
little slow in the beginning because the scenario of Ehren Kruger must first
introduce Yeager family but entered the mid to the end, Bay kept pounding the
audience with a powerful barrage of action scenes. For the first time shooting
a Bay also scenes in this film using IMAX 3D cameras so that the result is
outstanding image sharp and cool 3D visualization throughout the film. If there
are movies that beg to be watched in 3D IMAX format, this film was. Some people
may be tired of the Michael Bay-style action choreography but I personally
still impressed with it. Yet have no break for me for three years before the
film was released and there is rarely a director who is able to work on Michael
Bay skillful action.
So my
verdict is ... apart from the human characters and the new robot, no different
from the Transformers: Age of Extinction than previous entries. If you want to
watch a badass Optimus Prime, the screen displays an explosion every few
minutes or so, accompanied by frenetic music from Steve Jablonsky, be sure not
to miss the most hectic summer movies this year!
