My thoughts on Transformers 4

The new Transformers movie, called "Age of Extinction", came out this weekend and of course, since it is summer, I went to see it. I didn't expect it to be very good, as it was the fourth film in the series, but it ended up being better than I expected. The movie follows Cade Yeager, a struggling inventor who finds an abandoned truck at a sale, which turns out to be Optimus Prime, one of the Transformers. After a battle in Chicago, which took place in the third movie, part of the CIA has been tracking down all of the Transformers, including the good ones, and killing them. Also, a tech company called KSI has discovered an element called "transformium", which can be programmed to change into anything. The head of the company, Joshua Joyce, wants to manufacture and sell man-made Transformers to be used for exploration and battle. Cade, Optimus Prime, and a few other Transformers must stop the CIA from killing all the Transformers. I thought the plot was somewhat good, but parts of it were kind of hard to follow, but the movie had plenty of action (as you would expect), and lots of special effects. There were some great characters, including the "Dinobots", which are Transformers that change into Dinosaurs instead of vehicles. Also, instead of keeping the characters form the last 3 movies, they replaced them with a whole new set of characters. One of my only complaints is that you don't really find out much about any of the characters except the main ones. In conclusion, if you are looking for a movie with a great plot, then you should pick another movie, but if you are looking for a good Sci-Fi action movie to watch during the summer, I would recommend going to see it.
