Transformers Age of Extinction Trailer Review

Well the day has come. I figured there would be at least another month before this was released, but I guess I was wrong. Hitting the web today is the first trailer to Transformers: Age of Extinction. This film marks the fourth in the franchise. The new film sees Michael Bay in the director's chair yet again. However this time we will be seeing a whole new cast; not to mention new transformers including the Dinobots. Now before continuing, let me explain something. I HATE this series. Some may say they despise it, but it fails in comparison with my hatred. So you can imagine that this movie would to do a lot to sway me. However, did this trailer change my mind?

As trailers go, I will say that Age of Extinction's preview is not a bad one. The trailer does its jobs at making this summer blockbuster look exciting. However, I have seen this tactic from this franchise. before For the last film, Dark of the Moon, the trailer was outstanding and it was hard not be excited for movie. Unfortunately, the final results to the film did not live up to the trailer's hype. I see the same thing in this trailer. With that said, while I thought some things looked intriguing, I couldn't shake the notion that I have seen all of this before. These shots, these theme, it is all too familiar. Where have I seen them? Why in the past three films. So this realization is not helping my skepticism.

I really don't want to be that guy that says"This movie is going suck" before the film comes out. However, I can't  help but be suspicious about Age of Extinction; and this trailer is not helping. So while this trailer makes it seem that we are in for an entertaining blockbuster, I will say what said seven years ago: proceed with caution.

Transformers: Age of Extinction hits theaters on June 27.

But wait, the trailer features Optimus Prime punching a t-rex in the face. Ok, I'll admit, that's kind of cool.
