1.Transformers: Age of Extinction (Paramount, 4,233 Theaters, 165 Minutes, Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action, language and brief innuendo): So, I’m getting the feeling that this franchise is pretty much unstoppable.

It gets lambasted by the critics, it sets box office records. Lose Megan Fox?  Replace her with a Victoria’s Secret model.The model doesn’t want to come back? Throw an unknown in there. Lose Shia LeBeouf? Replace him with Mark Wahlberg. As long as one giant robot beats the motor oil out of another giant robot, audiences will still come out in droves.

This film at least offers audiences something new. It gives Transformers fans their first look at the popular Dinobots on the big screen. Will there be a plot to pull them into the story? Probably not, but who cares.
