Unpopular opinion: we need more Transformers Age of Extinction fans. Like, if we exclude long parts where are humans appearing, we can say the movie is good. Animation is the best, coldness of Lockdown (finally a good villain with full cold nature) is just inspiring and damn, the designs are so damn good!
I get the hate on this movie for just the story and that it doesn't really connect to previous ones. But, let me tell ya, it kinda does. Chicago is mentioned there as well as the last war, the only thing bayformers does not have a good line is with the backstory. Each movie, it tells a different backstory. TF1 - war. TF2 - Primes and the device (I always forget the name) to extract sun's. TF3 - war kn a different perspective. TF4 - Quintessons and creation of Optimus. TF5 - Unicron.
This is the only huge downside. I mean, they could have put effort to make just one huge backstory, learning parts of it during each movie, but they've decided for random ones. That's triggering. Other than that and a LOT of human scenes, the movies are really good!
