WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

With Optimus Prime (Cullen) having left Earth in search of his creators, humans and Transformers of all kinds are engaged in all-out warfare with each other. To put an end to the war, Cade Yeager (Wahlberg) teams up with Bumblebee, a street-smart orphan named Izabella (Moner), Oxford professor Vivian (Haddock), and English lord and historian Edmund (Hopkins) to learn the secret history of the Transformers and why they keep coming back to Earth…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Michael Bay is back to blow more things up for his fifth – and, if reports are to be believed, final – Transformers movie which amps up the action to a whole new level, for better or for worse.
