2. Transformers: Age of Extinction (Release: 27 June, 2014)
Hopefully, this movie will in fact mark the extinction of this metal-junk franchise. While the series impressed on its inception, everything that followed was on the wrong side of the measuring scale. However, as this was happening, the film was steadily creating a fan-base that had a deep-rooted liking for shallow, CGI inflicted, emotionless movies. These were the same people who think that Avatar is the best movie ever made because 'oh look so glittery.' The fan-base thrived like leeches on the negative reviews the films garnered. 'Hate gonna hate,' they said and this animosity strengthen their faith in the movies. Before long, this was an all out Slightly Chilly but Not Exactly Cold War between those who trashed the movies as they were being churned out of the moving tripe-maker that Michael Bay is and those who ardently maintained that these movies deserve all that the Academy has to offer. The more the former push, the more resilient the latter become. Present day. While the world waits to get almost demolished by nasty, power-hungry machines to be saved by other, more altruistic machines, these fans wait with their nails chewed into non-existence for this Transformers movie. Critics and pragmatists alike recognize that there's going to be nothing meaningful to be looking forward to. The others know that the Rosie woman, or whoever else it is starring, is just the beginning of everything there's worth looking forward to. And as the battle for supremacy rages, the cold, hard facts still remain this movie is going to do well for itself if the current, frightening levels of obsession is anything to go buy.
