While expectations are that it won’t hit the billion $ plus run that the third installment did, which really played up the need to see it in 3D before people became very jaded with that format, Transformers: Age of Extinction should do pretty well overall this summer. With the second trailer released today, it works again to make it clear that there is a large scale storyline going on here, there will be plenty of familiar Transformers in it and the new ones including Grimlock, but also that there is no Shia Lebouf. That last piece alone could bring back a few people. This new trailer is a bit more story driven with a good bit of new action to it that definitely ramps things up nicely though.
Directed by Michael Bay based on a script by Ehren Kruger, the film stars Mark Wahlberg, Nicola Peltz, Jack Reynor, Stanley Tucci, Sophia Milers and Kelsey Grammar.
Plot concept: Four years after the catastrophic events in Chicago, Earth has mostly recovered from the great war between the Autobots and the Decepticons. But when Cade Yeager (Mark Wahlberg), a struggling inventor, and his daughter Tessa (Nicola Peltz) discover Optimus Prime, they bring down Decepticons, Autobots and the US government on them. Now with the Decepticons plotting to destroy the Earth once again, and a paranoid government official (Kelsey Grammer) on his tail, Cade must join the Autobots, and Optimus Prime must align with the ancient Dinobots, to save Earth from extinction.
