    Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014)

    in Review That Movie! (Spoilers Allowed)

    Posted · Edited by FTF

    Also, who was the main villain of this movie? Was it Galvatron or Lockdown? This movie couldn't really decide. The franchise has a major villain problem.

     

    It was almost like Revenge of the Fallen before it, where they had Megatron do all the dirty work though his leader was the Fallen.

     

    In the first, it was obvious Megatron was the main villain, but he didn't come into action until the final act.

     

    The only villain that felt like a main villain in any film in this franchise was Sentinel Prime, as it was clear he was in charge and also did most of the dirty work.

     

    Michael Bay was the main villain…and everyone involved in writing the script were the evil minions.

    ...sigh...just got back from a 9pm 3d digital imax show and holy shit that was soooo much worse than I could have ever imagined. I like the first one quite a bit, and 2 and 3 are still fun and enjoyable, but my god was this terrible.I'm tired and have to get up for work in 6 hours but my best summary is Michael Bay went full retard. The script and dialogue are so atrocious the action and sfx can't make up for it. I don't have the will to write a full review at the moment but perhaps I'll expand tomorrow. And in case some doubt I saw it (from my lack of details) some of the worst parts (other than ALL the dialogue which is horrible) are rally car lucky charms out the window and down the ramp, flying fucking atm card, slow mo everywhere!! Running, fist pound, all the fights, etc, etc, stupid john goodman fatbot with dumb jokes...ugh I just don't want to think about it anymore.D-(It's probably an F really, but I still find the sfx of the robots cool, the dinobots were pretty cool and Bay filming so much of it with digital 3d imax cameras paid off as the 3d was good and the movie looked good)

    OK to clarify a couple points

    The data that has been posted , which shouldn't be (I have known over the years raw data to appear on other site where in a nutshell listing the data was shut down), is not the total gross up until that point in time it is a sample of theatres.

    Also included in that sample is a sample of the theatres grosses that played Thu night/midnight , hence a higher than usual number at 10am (fyi you would fall of your chair if you saw say TA at 10am first friday, the addition of this data has to be taken into account as it effect final outcomes)

    X films sample data at say 11am,2pm,5pm,7pm is not necessarily the same as films Y Z you might be comparing, so may factor come into it,

    like how big is the sample vs what is the total number of theatres playing (is it 3100 or 4000), is school out, isn't it, some other holiday, weather the list goes on.

    When you try and factor in some comp films to try and help make heads or tails of raw sample the films used could be a different mix to what you are using for the actual results on what I think Fri, weekend, final cume etc is going to do.

    Like you could compare a film that could do 30m on friday with one that does 50m, why because those titles may be seen to have similar trends better matinees , stronger /weaker evening, plays better in certain markets/regions etc etc so you are ultimately looking at what does TWS 3pm sample BO % to total day vs whatever

    Lets say you looked at TWS OD 2pm compared to Thor OD 2pm if you had assumed the same % of business you would have projected TWS to do 43m for the day it did 37, now using Thor as example later in the day there was closer correlation between the two films say you looked at 7pm and based TWS on what Thor had done you would have now projected 37m. so in this case Thor could have been used as a comparion in the evening but not in daytime.
