Both genuinely astonishing (if you want to see what $216 million dollars worth of cutting-edge visual effects looks like through the filter of one of modern cinema’s most singular directors, here it is) and genuinely AWFUL (there is a “story” but not in any conventional way because there is SO MUCH STORY and yet NONE of it makes sense, and I’ve seen this film TWICE). There is not a single moment in this film that is coherently related to the next, not a single moment of rest or calm between those moments. In one way it’s extraordinary- the scale and swagger of the set pieces alone is some sort of miracle to watch- but in another it’s just so terrible, because no one is likeable or memorable as they yell unfunny insults at each other, the sound mix assaults you, the camera is doing high-speed sweeping movements ALL THE TIME around a thousand very expensive, colourfully-rendered pixels... and it’s like that for TWO👏🏽AND👏🏽A👏🏽HALF👏🏽HOURS.

It’s an utterly exhausting experience, technically astounding but numbing and joyless to watch. The only explanation I have for this film being the way it is, is that Michael Bay was on some seriously hard drugs and Paramount gave him more money than God to make whatever he wanted, because logic be damned these films have made enough money to rescue most of the third world from poverty. Like a spectacular car crash that goes on and on and on, this is truly a unique piece of glittering, jaw-dropping, confounding, beyond-exhausting and repulsive garbage.

Not a bad start to the film but started to get boring round about half way through,Micheal bay is a good director after the first 4 films were outstanding but i felt like bother fifth one was bringing the transformer series to an end which would be a shame for it to happen

After a good “extinction” film, this is a slightly long but humorous episode. They chose wisely with Anthony Hopkins. The plot can be a little muddled but is rather simplistic but the CGI is fab (especially at the end). Implies another film could be made too but I suspect this is the end for now. Film 6/10 4K 9/10

I love transformers and Optimus Prime. I really do. However, when I went to see this film, all I could think of afterwards was “What the F did I just watch?!”. Seriously, the film is full of nonsense, bad acting, mediocre music, rubbish plot and sexism. The fights and CGI were cool generally but seriously.....what was this ⁉️☹️

The story of this movie is very poor, sometimes was close to a joke. I hope next time they can create a story similar to Avengers in complexity and interest.

In the beginning also the scenario moved so fast, that I was wondering what are the battles about.

Visual effects at the end of the movie really bad. Very poor. The movements was out of sync and blur at certain points like a cheap movie.

Seemed to me as if they were in a rush at the end to finish the movie.

I didn’t understand the role of the little girl.

In the beginning I thought was going to be big part of the movie, but soon she disappeared and she suddenly appeared again close to the end without any serious reason or doing anything special in terms of scenario and story. Shame as she could have made the scenario more interesting.

I have seen every transformers film and the nemesis prime vs bumblebee was good

I watched this when it came out in 2017 but I forgot to write a review about how it good.

Heard the really poor reviews but I though that a good, entertaining and in places fantastic film. Well worth a watch.

This is so good love this film

Horrendous, less than 30mins of transformer screen time wasted barricade potential, confusing, horrific acting, only three good characters (Cogman, his master and sqweeks) no action whatsoever complete utter disgrace to this series. ZERO and I mean ZERO explanation for anything and nothing for a “Optimus prime” A complete and utter failure. Michael bay should just quit movies and scrap the probably cancer-inflicting 17 next movies!

I found this movie way better than the previous installment in term of the storyline. Love how they tie in King Arthur Lore into the storyline.

The rest was awful

A Great Film🙂🙂🙂👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

BUT

Why Does It Keep Changing Aspect Ratios In The Film That’s Very Annoying🙁👎🏻

Please don’t waste time and money like I just did! Terrible storyline! Terrible action. Terrible all round

Clearly shed-loads of cash has been thrown at this. Yet there is an air of desperation about the way the bloated storyline tries to include everything including the kitchen sink. Mr Hopkins is excellent as ever, but the chop and change of the story direction and overstuffed script results ultimately in an unsatifying movie. Watching two and a half hours of film cut like a thirty-second commercial is exhausting, revealing a movie that serves more as a technical demonstration than anything of any cinematic substance.

But then I guess a movie based entirely on action figures is never going to be more than a cartoon — albeit a very, very expensive one. Disappointing.

One of the best !!!

Mad 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I love these films with a passion and I don’t care what film critics have to say about these films roll on Bumblebee

How can an action movie be just so very boring. It's far too long, terrible script, worse acting, CGI in places is awful. I really enjoyed all the other Transformer movies but this one is worth a miss. Or just fast forward the bad bits (that's all the film).

Talk about stringing out a theme, the script was poor and the transformers have got more and more commical. Really poor execution. Do not buy, rent, only if you have to.

£9.99 on amazon, £13.99 here as at writing.

Not the best

I bought this movie despite the reviews. I should have listened it’s terrible. It just drags on with nothing to capture you.

Okay so the story isnt the best il admit that. However this film is visually stunning! I recently purchased the Apple Tv 4K and OMG! The fact that i think around 85% of the film is shot in IMAX plus the 4K and HDR makes this film the best ive seen with regards to the visual quality!

Unfortunately this film has a poor plot, bad editing and is way too long. The story has little rhyme and has far too many clichés and awful jokes. Even the robot fighting looks rubbish and that is normally a redeeming feature. Be prepared for a disappointing instalment.

This is one of the better Transformers films. I would rank this as third best after the first movie and dark of the moon. Anthony Hopkins is the highlight of the film and the new actors are a great addition. Definitely worth a watch. The special effects, CGI and camera shots are excellent.

Worth the money

I like the transformers movies in general but this one, despite a reasonable premise just was hard to watch due to terrible editing. It felt like there was a scene missing from the end of each scene that would have made more sense! By the end with the large fight scene I had given up caring what happened as it just flung from one part to another only caring about the explosions (the only reason I gave it 2 as the explosions were typical Michael Bay and the baby transformers were cool). If you haven’t seen any of the others watch them instead really.

Didn’t like it at all. The story narration was a bit abrupt. At time it was difficult to follow. Looked good though.

Forget the negative reviews as those people and the press clearly don't have a clue or a pulse. There are so many emotional levels to this film that each time you watch it you get something new from this movie. No i don't work in the movie industry or the press, i just know a very cleverly crafted film when i see one. If this is Michael Bay last Transformers movie as Director, he has definitely gone out on a high note. Billiant and like every Transformer movie - there is so much more to this movie than meets the eye.

It is what it is.....can’t understand all these people be-rating the movie, I actually thought it was really good,

Maybe not best of the lot but it’s better than most of the other drivel we have to

Put up with from Hollywood!

Was £9.99 this morning then went up half way through the day! Was going to buy it but won’t now. If they are promaotional prices I wish iTunes would make it clearer!

Thought I would try a 4k film on my new Apple TV 4k box and saw this advertised as 4k To only find once I purchased it shows as HD not 4K

Massively false advertising iTunes 😡

Sort it out!!!

TF fan for nearly 13 years now and this was something major for me. Someone who breaks down the film and explains it like me fully understands so no matter what people say this film was amazing!!!

Yeah it's underrated. But Judge it by yourself. Epic movie 👌

Pointless plot which gets more and more stupid as the film rolls on. Don't watch it then maybe they will stop making them

Why so terrible? True my awful film. A disastrous end to the legendary Transformers. The actors must have been embarrassed when they saw the edit. Ruined.

Great movie, and I recommend buying this!!

I love this film I think this is the best one yet if you haven't seen it yet you haven't lived we've waited so long to watch it and we were amazed

By the way... screw u haters 😁

Great movie

Pointless storyline and a continuous boredom makes this film a disaster in which the transformers should be stopped

Embarrassing movie.

All five films have been excellent. Great action, humour and even really emotional moments (if you're brave enough to allow yourself to experience them). Look at the actors who've been in the films (some BIG names!!). This film doesn't disappoint and sets up the future of the franchise excellently; Bay, Wahlberg, stick with these films (the box-office receipts tell the true picture, disregard utterly the pseud sniping of the critics).

As a Transformers fan i have watched all the movies and been waiting for this movie for 3 years and HANDS DOWN its the best one out of all of THEM

I liked how there was a lot of explosions... Typical michael bay! Great job michael bay

Despite the reviews are saying I still loved it!

I watched this in the cinema the day before I wrote this and it was fantastic. The beginning gave me chills down my spine and how the transformers came to be.

How can u say it's the same as Star Wars it's nothing like that film it's a great film and plus Star Wars is not an apocalyptic film 2012 is and day after tomorrow are both apocalyptic films this one isn't it has a story to it
