Watch Transformers: Age of Extinction Movie Online

Transformers Age of Extinction

Transformers: Age of Extinction (or simply Transformers 4) is a 2014 science fiction action film based on
the Transformers franchise. It is the fourth installment of the live-action Transformers film series and stars Mark Wahlberg in the lead role, with Peter Cullen reprising his role as Optimus Prime. It is both a sequel to 2011's Dark of the Moon and a soft reboot of the franchise, and takes place five years later, after the Decepticon invasion of Chicago. Like its predecessors, the film is directed by Michael Bay[7] and executive produced by Steven Spielberg. Ehren Kruger is the film's screenwriter, having written every Transformers film since Revenge of the Fallen. The film features an entirely new cast of human characters and is the first in the series to feature the Dinobots. Returning Transformers include Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Ratchet, Leadfoot, and Brains. The film was released on June 27, 2014, in IMAX and 3D.[8]

Upon its release, reception to the film was mostly negative among film critics. It received an average rating of 18% on Rotten Tomatoes, making it the lowest rated film of the franchise. The movie also received seven nominations at the 35th Golden Raspberry Awards, including Worst Picture and Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-off or Sequel.[9] However, many praised the visual effects, the action sequences, Steve Jablonsky's musical score, and the performances of Wahlberg, Grammer, and Tucci. Despite the poor reviews, the film was a massive box office success, grossing over $1.087 billion worldwide, making it the tenth highest-grossing film of all time, the highest-grossing film of 2014, the second highest-grossing film in the Transformers series, and the nineteenth film to gross over $1 billion.

Summary
There’s no such thing as a sure thing when it comes to the Oscars — well, other than Meryl Streep — which is why, every year, without fail, there are nearly as many, if not more, articles dedicated to what films or stars were snubbed by the Academy as there are about those who were nominated.

That rule seems especially true this year. The list of nominees, which was announced Thursday morning, has left people scratching their heads over what appear to be huge oversights on the Academy’s part — and an unusually high number of them, to boot.

Let’s start with one of the more egregious examples: One of the most commercially and critically well-received movies of the year, “The Lego Movie,” did not get a nomination in the Best Animated Feature category.

This comes less than a week after it lost in the same category at the Golden Globes to Dream Works Animation’s “How to Train Your Dragon 2,” a turn of events that was also considered something of an upset.

Meanwhile, however, Studio Ghibli’s “The Tale of the Princess Kaguya,” which was overlooked by the Golden Globes, did manage an Oscar nomination.

“The Lego Movie” is one of those snubs that just seems like a mistake, in some ways.

With a 96 percent "fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes, an 83 on Metacritic and an “A” Cinemascore, it looked like it checked all the boxes. On top of that, it was made for a fraction of the cost of movies like “How to Train Your Dragon 2” ($145 million) and “Big Hero 6” ($165 million), costing a paltry $60 million.

“The Lego Movie” co-director Phil Lord responded to the disappointment with class, though, tweeting out a picture of an Oscar statuette made out of yellow Lego bricks with the caption, “It’s okay. Made my own!”

Many of this year’s other non-nominees (non-minees?) are partially notable in that they violate widely accepted awards season logic, however flawed it may be, such as “physical transformation equals nominations.” Look at the number of actors who have used that formula in the past, putting their bodies through the wringer and walking away with a shiny new statuette: Robert De Niro in “Raging Bull,” Daniel Day-Lewis in “My Left Foot,” Hilary Swank in “Million Dollar Baby,” Charlize Theron in “Monster,” Christian Bale in “The Fighter” and both Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto in last year’s “Dallas Buyers Club,” to name just a few.

This year, however, two similarly transformative roles, Jennifer Aniston in “Cake” and Jake Gyllenhaal in “Nightcrawler,” both of which had been talked up as strong contenders, were left out in the cold.

Similarly, true stories, especially ones about struggling geniuses, champions of human rights issues, etc., are generally thought to be favored among Academy voters, and yet “Selma,” which did receive a Best Picture nomination, was nevertheless shut out of many key categories, including Best Director for Ava DuVernay (who would have made history as the first black female nominee in the category) and Best Actor for David Oyelowo’s portrayal of Martin Luther King Jr.

Also in the directing category, many were surprised Clint Eastwood wasn't nominated for “American Sniper.” At 84, he would have been the oldest director by five years ever nominated. If he won, he also would have broken a record that he himself set 10 years ago with “Million Dollar Baby” as the oldest person to ever win a Best Director award.

Finally, “Life Itself,” the documentary about the late, great film critic Roger Ebert, was similarly overlooked — a twist not only because of the quality of the film, but also because of the Academy’s long track record of celebrating movies about the movie industry.

In 2003, Maya, a young U.S. Central Intelligence Agency officer, has spent her entire brief career since graduating from high school focused solely on gathering intelligence related to Osama bin Laden, leader of al-Qaeda, following the terrorist organization's attack on the United States in 2001. She is reassigned to the U.S. embassy in Pakistan to work with a fellow officer, Dan. During the first months of her assignment, Maya often accompanies Dan to a black site for his continuing interrogation of Ammar al-Baluchi, a detainee with suspected links to several of the hijackers in the September 11 attacks. Dan subjects the detainee to torture, including waterboarding, and humiliation. He and Maya eventually trick Ammar into divulging that an old acquaintance, who is using the alias Abu Ahmed, is working as a personal courier for bin Laden. Other detainees corroborate this, with some claiming Abu Ahmed delivers messages between bin Laden and a man referred to as Abu Faraj. In 2005, Abu Faraj is apprehended by the C.I.A. and local police in Pakistan. Maya interrogates Abu Faraj under torture, but he continues to deny knowing a courier with such a name. Maya interprets this as an attempt by Abu Faraj to conceal the importance of Abu Ahmed.

Maya continues to sift through masses of data and information, using a variety of technology, hunches and sharing insights. She concentrates on finding Abu Ahmed, determined to use him to find bin Laden. During a span of five years, she survives the 2008 Islamabad Marriott Hotel bombing as well as being shot at in her car by armed men. Dan, departing on reassignment, warns Maya about a possible change in politics, suggesting that the new administration may prosecute those officers who had been involved in torture. Maya's fellow officer and friend Jessica is killed in the 2009 Camp Chapman attack. A Jordanian detainee claims the man previously identified from a photograph as Abu Ahmed is a man he personally buried in 2001. Several C.I.A. officers – Maya's seniors – conclude the target who could be Abu Ahmed is long dead, and that they have searched a false trail for nine years.

After being rescued from the destroyed arena in the 75th Hunger Games, Katniss Everdeen, along with fellow Victors Beetee and Finnick Odair, are taken to District 13, a hidden district cut off from the rest of Panem that has been spearheading the rebellion, where she is reunited with her mother and sister Prim. While recuperating, she is introduced to President Alma Coin, the rebel leader, and is told that her actions in the arena sparked riots and strikes against the Capitol. Coin asks her if she will become the "Mockingjay"—the symbol of the rebellion—as part of their "hearts and minds" strategy. Katniss flatly declines, angrily reminding her that they left Peeta Mellark, her portrayed lover and fellow District 12 tribute, behind in the arena. At the suggestion of Plutarch Heavensbee, the former Gamemaker, she is taken to see the ruins of District 12, which was completely leveled by a Capitol bombing campaign (with the exception of the houses in the Victor's Village). After seeing that Peeta is being used by Capitol state television to try and quell the rebellion, Katniss reluctantly changes her mind and agrees to become Coin's Mockingjay, on the condition that Peeta and the other victors will be rescued at the earliest opportunity and pardoned.

After Haymitch notes that Katniss thrives on spontaneity, she is introduced to her film team (led by Capitol escapee Cressida), is dressed up in a specially-designed outfit, and given Effie Trinket as a stylist and close friend Gale as a bodyguard. They go out to District 8 to visit a hospital, but as the visit concludes, a Capitol bombing squadron arrives and bombs the hospital, killing everyone inside. In her rage, Katniss gives a rousing speech to the camera, which is broadcast when Beetee hijacks the Capitol's news feed. The team then go back to District 12, where Gale tells the story of its destruction, and Katniss is filmed singing "The Hanging Tree." After both are broadcast, strikers in District 7 kill an entire team of Peacekeepers with hidden land mines, and a rebel demolition team from District 5 destroys the dam providing the Capitol with electricity, forcing them to use power generators and weakening their ability to broadcast their propaganda.

In 1988, following his mother's death, a young Peter Quill is abducted from Earth by the Ravagers, a group of space pirates led by Yondu Udonta. Twenty-six years later on the planet Morag, Quill steals an orb, after which he is intercepted by Korath, a subordinate to the fanatical Kree, Ronan. Although Quill escapes with the orb, Yondu discovers his theft and issues a bounty for his capture, while Ronan sends the assassin Gamora after the orb.

When Quill attempts to sell the orb on the Nova Empire capital world, Xandar, Gamora ambushes him and steals it. A fight ensues, drawing in a pair of bounty hunters: the genetically engineered raccoon Rocket, and the tree-like humanoid Groot. The Nova Corps arrives and arrests all four, imprisoning them in the Kyln. While there, a powerful inmate, Drax, attempts to kill Gamora due to her association with Ronan, who killed his family. Quill convinces Drax that Gamora can bring Ronan to him. Gamora reveals that she has betrayed Ronan, unwilling to let him use the orb's power to destroy planets, starting with Xandar. Learning that Gamora has a buyer for the orb, she, Quill, Rocket, Groot, and Drax work together to escape from the Kyln.
