I have always been a fan of Transformers and it is no surprise the franchise is getting stronger with every new film.
Who wouldn’t like Optimus Prime and the Autobots or Megatron and the Decepticons? Well if you have not watched any of the earlier films, you would not know what I am talking about.
I now hear that it is the first film to hit the $1 billion mark in revenue. Forbes reports that Age of Extinction scored the biggest opening weekend of 2014, earning a strong $100 million in America and $302.1m worldwide in its initial frame.
Also, this film teaches a lesson in economics. Ezra Klein of Vox.com says The film is a masterclass in global economics. He adds that “Over the course of 166 minutes — long for a film, sure, but short for a graduate-level econ seminar — Bay destroys economic shibboleths as if they were a major metropolitan area concealing the Autobots from Lockdown. His lessons are pitiless: inequality will keep rising, job security will keep falling, and American companies will contort themselves into all kinds of embarrassing positions to suck up to China. And Michael Bay will keep making all of the money because he understands the changing economy much, much better than you do.”
If you haven’t watched the film, you better watch it. It is cool.
