Age of Extinction Home Video Release On 9 / 30

I wish there was a feature on the blu ray that would let you edit out some of the more jarring shots of the film that gave me a headache the first time in IMAX...oh well.

I pre-ordered the Amazon set with the statue...that statue is awesome regardless and I will pay a little more for it despite my problems with the movie as a whole. I'm glad to see the full release coming so quickly as a low quality release now with a special edition release during holiday season would just be stupid.

It sounds like you hated the movie? Why would you buy it or pay more for the cooler editions? I only paid $5 for Pacific Rim blu ray because I wasn't a big fan of it

Sub Prime,

I didn't completely hate the movie. I'm just getting a little tired of Bay's excessive camera angles, fast shot changes, and explosions. I do not have a huge sound system or anything like that...just a sound bar. I think the movie will be better on a small screen. I may change my mind and get a cheaper version as you said. If the statue was available by itself I would probably just do that. Funny you mentioned Pacific Rim. I kind of liked the movie and still paid $22 bucks for it when it came out...wish I had waited and got that one for $5 like you did. To each their own I guess. Maybe I have just talked myself out of the statue as my local TRU gave me the large Optimus riding Grimlock Display when they were done with it...no idea where I'm going to put that monster of a section yet...the electronics are still intact even

That makes sense. I will agree that the theatre version had its issues.

1. I could barely understand some things being said.

2. Bay's styles is better on a smaller screen and I have a "47

3. With a Blu-Ray/DVD I can skip foward some parts I barely cared for especially with Transformers ROTF(I hated most human scenes)

Will probably be a Walmart exclusive.

His latest, “Transformers: Age of Extinction,” promises more of the action and explosions Bay is known for, but the director reportedly almost didn’t take the job this time around. He’s not saying why, but he admits he was “prevailed upon. Expertly.” Coming back on board for a fourth time, he decided to make a few changes to the franchise. In particular, he didn’t want the robots to look too much like toys.

“I understand the need to draw an audience of kids and the global considerations, but I wanted to be involved with something that had a longer-lasting, even cerebral appeal. And I don’t want to be tied — artistically or in people’s minds — to ‘Transformers’ after ‘Transformers,’ ” he says, perhaps alluding to the series’ planned fifth installment.

While the Japanese roots of “Transformers” may be apparent in the design of the robotic heroes and villains of the film, the “global considerations” Bay refers to come mainly from the newly important Chinese market.

“Transformers: Age of Extinction” was partly financed by Chinese backers, has Chinese product placement and co-stars Li Bingbing as the owner of a factory manufacturing Transformers for a U.S. outfit named KSI. Bay says that cooperation between China and the United States for future filmmaking ventures will be important. The tendency of Hollywood to cast the citizens of foreign nations in villainous roles might be coming to an end if that’s the case, I suggest, to which Bay replies, “I don’t think the Chinese see themselves as villains. They do want to be admired.”

[...]

Grammer, who played the titular role in the popular U.S. sitcom “Frasier” (1993-2004) takes on the role of Harold Attinger, the paranoid head of an elite CIA unit.

“His name’s Harold — isn’t that a perfect, anal-retentive, paranoiac name?” Grammer says with a grin. “Then you have Cade, pretty much an average Joe, and his daughter Tessa (Peltz) — these wonderful names! Stanley Tucci is this arrogant technocrat (head of KSI) who wants to make and control his own Transformers, and his name is Joshua Joyce. It’s a bit comic-bookey, but it really works on screen.”

“Transformers: Age of Extinction” has succeeded in drawing in a large audience despite replacing its cast, and Grammar believes this is because the film brings back the real draw — familiar robotic characters.

And I hope they have a deleted scene of the autobots going after stinger because They disappear through that whole scene

I bet that there is a whole bunch of deleted scenes in this movie. If you go to YouTube and watch a bunch of TF4 filming videos there is a whole bunch of things that weren't seen in the movie. Some examples, the large explosions at a Chinese pagoda in Detroit, Cade running towards the camera with his gun-blade in Hong Kong, Stinger tailing the Autobots in Hong Kong, the sports cars driving around in Hong Kong, the argument with an Asian guy and two cops, Shane almost hitting a couple of people in the Texas street chase, Shane's car being blocked by Attinger's men, the Autobots rolling in Hong Kong in an alley, and so much more.

For example, when Optimus is fighting Galvatron and Lockdown comes, when his gun fave transforms, small tentacles can be seen coming out of his face while transforming. I just was stating what I thought. Maybe I should say, not exactly the same as a Cybertronion.
