Transformers: Age of Extinction movie trailer

by

Official teaser trailer for American scifi action movie Transformers: Age of Extinction. It’s the fourth instalment of the live-action Transformers film series. In cinema this summer.

Age of Extinction is directed by Michael Bay, who’s also in charged of all the predecessors. This sequel features an all new human cast though, which includes Mark Wahlberg, Stanley Tucci, Kelsey Grammer, Nicola Peltz, Jack Reynor, Sophia Myles, Li Bingbing, Titus Welliver and T.J. Miller.

Not sure about the plot but this doesn’t look like the Transformers universe I’m familiar with from my younger days. I understand a film franchise has to continue evolving but it’s not always a good thing to change too much. Going to watch this regardless, hope it’s worth a trip to the cinema.

Taiwan armed force use Transformers for recruitment

by

Check this out, Transfomers lookalike TV commercial by Taiwan’s Recruitment Center of National Armed Force. Thought it was a prank at first, but it’s real; and the video could be found on its official website [Cn]…

A pretty cool commercial; though I suspect the recruitment drive would fare better if they featured Megan Fox instead lol.

Revenge of the Fallen is the second instalment of the Transformer film series. It’s just over a week since the sequel was released in Chinese theatres, so the record is bound to be higher in the end.
