Explosions, hot chicks and slow-mo- yep, this is a Michael Bay blockbuster.Paramount Pictures have today released the teaser trailer for their upcoming action movie Transformers: Age of Extinction. The fourth chapter of director Michael Bay's CGI-laden franchise of film adaptations presents us with a new human cast spearheaded by Ted's Mark Wahlberg and Doctor Who's Sophia Myles (The Girl in the Fireplace's Madame de Pompadour, for those who don't recall).
As is often the case with those blockbusters that receive Superbowl TV spots prior to their box office teasers, the first full preview (below) of the sequel doesn't bring with it tonnes of footage that we haven't already seen in one form or another. Nevertheless, the snippets of new footage that are on show are potent glimpses that imply we might well be in for a more thoughtful, provocative motion picture experience. Joking, I am- there's transformations, destruction, dinosaur-shaped robots and explosive mayhem galore here, and if it's a film along the lines of that which we described in the previous sentence, then you'd best look elsewhere, since Bay appears to be sticking firmly to what he knows and thriving as a result. For all its faults, Dark of the Moon (4*) was a solid action romp, and so long as it doesn't venture into the same loathsomely tedious and repetitive territory as Revenge of the Fallen (2*) did, then this semi-reboot may well turn out to be another commercial hit for the series.
Transformers: Age of Extinction mobilizes in cinemas worldwide on June 28th.
