I took Emma to see the new transformers movie Sunday night, Transformers 4: Age of Extinction , and we both really, really liked it. I don’t love everything Michael Bay does, and in fact, I didn’t even like the last transformers movie, but this one was a big step up. It’s been getting a ton of heat from critics. Most have complained that the movie’s plot is nonsensical, but I don’t see it. That was maybe a valid criticism of the second movie, and yeah, the third transformers movie was certainly mess in terms of its storyline, but this one? This one made perfect sense. It was silly , and there were at least two hole in the plot, one of which was gaping, but the story--why are we doing this, and who are these people?--that all tracked. *spoilers below*
