Hopefully, this film will make the naysayers and other film haters take another look and give it another chance.

Sadly, I doubt it will. To the haters and purists nothing is ever good enough. I plan to enjoy this movie for what it is, giant robots smashing each other to bits, with some gigantic robot dinosaurs thrown into the mix this time around (and about slaggin' time, too!). It doesn't take away from what the Transformers was when I was growing up anymore than the dozen or so other permutations the franchise has taken in its 30 years, some of which I also enjoyed, some I skipped over and some I just didn't understand why it was received so well(*cough, Prime, cough*). The movies aren't perfect, but they're nice when you've got nothing better to do than throw in a good action flick. Don't let the haters get you down, the first three have made over $2.6 billion so far, so there must be at least a few other people who like them.

By now you've no doubt watched the new Transformers: Age of Extinction teaser trailer multiple times, now lets break it down frame by frame! We've got a full gallery of screen captures, which can found by clicking right here, enjoy!

This may be an odd thing to say, but...I'm actually somewhat "excited" for the human side of the story rather than the actual "main stars" of the film. Mainly because, so far, they seem pretty...subdued.

However, I think this film may actual hold true to the whole robots in disguise gimmick that has been terribly utilized for the better part in TF history.

[Sideswipe jr.]

You people b!#ching about Optimus smacking Grimlock have no idea .Did all you 'G1 or Nothing' guys forget Grimlock never Liked Optimus Prime?! My idea is this:: Prime goes to Grimlock for help. Grimlock, not liking Optimus says no. Then Grimlock challenges Optimus, and if Prime wins, Grimlock will help Prime. Prime and Grimlock duke it out, and then Grimlock agrees to help Optimus.

I'm liking what I see so far.

Did OP go into stasis or is he just refusing to reveal himself to Cade?

What he said.

Is it correct to assume Stinger is an experimentation from the US government to create their own robot soldiers? Reverse engineering? Headmasters project? That's why "we don't need you anymore.."

Looks like Optimus is duking it out with the silver truck decepticon on the road. Judging on the follow up of Lockdown shooting Optimus in the same location, I'm guessing the truck decepticon didn't put much of a fight. As all decepticons do.

I hope this movie won't have like billions decepticons like DOTM. I want to see interaction from a cybertronian to another when they fight, conversations, personality.

But mehh...what can you expect.

[ahtiong80]

Grimlock has red eye, did it started as decepticon an join autobots later? or it get confused who are the good guys since dinosaurs supposed to be dumb creatures?

You know there are numerous Autobots with red optics, right?

Random question ... why do some people still insist on referring to Mark Wahlberg as "Marky Mark" when he hasn't gone by that name in TWENTY YEARS and has established himself as one of the leading actors in Hollywood.

Is it suppose to be insulting or some people living in the past?

Back to the topic at hand ... will have watch it a few times again but CGI on Grimlock looked tacky, may be not finished?

[Megatron Wolf]

yeah they're just grasping at straws with this one, looks like the last 3 movies combined. Only thing im curious about is are the dinobots decepticons at first or are they on their own? They have red optics & we've seen them fighting autobots only so far. My guess would be they dont give a damn about who wins then prime tames i mean convinces grimlock to help the autobots.

[Mindmaster]

we've seen them fighting autobots only so far.

Actually, this is the first time we've been given an indication that there is some conflict between the Dinobots and the Autobots. The previous teaser shows the Dinobots giving a hand to the Autobots (i.e Bumblebee being saved from an explosion by Strafe, Optimus riding Grimlock).

[MINDVVIPE]

Wow, that screen cap of that chick, she is fieeene. I no longer care about seeing TFs... lets just have all the pretty girls from all the movies run around half naked.
Yeah, I've given up hope. Might as well see some bewbs.

[BATTOUSAIXD]

So is this Galvatron, and can anyone tell if he is dead?

[Burn]

So you've gone from this ...

Cool trailer. I think the robot designs are a bit more cohesive in this movie which make it all better on the eye during action scenes, and there seems to be much steadier camera shots. Here's hoping he learnt from the tripe that was the first 3.
I still have zero hope for story, but my expectations are so low at this point, I think I might actually enjoy it (now that every scene with an actual TF in it feels like a bonus when expecting barely any).

Yes, because I realized I was probably being too optimistic. But then I saw the screencap, and figured when I eventually stop caring/seeing the TFs on screen, at least now I can enjoy the rest with bewbs without Shia yelling OOOPPPTTTIMUUSSS!! You got a problem with that, HUH?!
Bay can even call the movie "Bad Bewbs".

Just because they made $2.6 billion, doesn't make them good movies.

Either you're looking in the wrong image gallery or your eyes need to be checked cuz I'm not seeing a single pic of her that matches that description in here. Every shot of her is either from the shoulders up or have her covered up like any normal person would dress.

Also, her attractiveness is completely in the eyes of the beholder. I think she only looks slightly above average, rather than the drop dead gorgeous sexy goddess you're claiming her to be.

FWIW, I also felt that Megan Fox looked hideous in ROTF.

You guys crack me up. Waita miss the point entirely, which was that the girls are the only eye candy left, drop dead gorgeous or not. And she doesn't look too bad to me, and we're obviously going to see her full body shot in the movie, but I made the exageration that, given the last 3 movies, that seeing the girls half naked is the best part and always going to end up in the movie (even if this chick doesn't end up like that). Yikes you guys split hairs, might as well be posting in a law firm chat room.

How are they the only eye candy when we got giant alien robot dinosaurs (as well as giant alien robots who turn into sweet sportscars like Stinger) to gawk at?

Kinda makes me think of these:

Did you mean the water spraying up? or the sparks under Grim's head?

The water spout. It's just really random and out of nowhere. Though so are the explosions near Grimlock's head; they look pretty serious, as in seemingly fatal or crippling, but that would be ridiculous.

...Ridiculously disappointing.

[tarZen]

I wish this is the last and final movie from this horrible series. Michael Bay just stop. But we all know that will never happen

Such comments can only come from 30+ year old fan boys stuck in the past who think the Transformers franchise revolves around them. The movies updated the franchise for and created a new generation of fans, greatly increasing its public mindshare than ever before. Transformers has taken on many incarnations after G1, just because G1 was the first doesn't make it the best and only legit series. In fact, most G1 episodes were dumb, illogical, incoherent stories.

The movies may consistently get flak for being "bad movies", but they are the best thing to happen to the Transformers franchise.
