Did you see Transformers Age of Extinction Over the Weekend?

                                                  

I got a chance to catch a screening of Transformers Age of Extinction last week. I'm not a die-hard Transformer fan. I've seen the first two movies and somehow skipped the third. Overall this fourth movie was pretty good although very long at almost 3 hours run time. I actually preferred Mark Wahlberg over Shia LaBeouf. Of course there was a lot of action. Optimus Prime was bad ass. Not much of a role for Bumblebee and they added some characters I was not familiar with. Maybe they were in the third movie I didn't see. Kelsey Grammer played the villainous character Harold Attinger.  I really enjoyed Stanley Tucci's character Joshua Joyce over Grammer's Attinger. I've always loved Stanley Tucci. I think he is a great supporting actor.  While I enjoyed Mark Wahlberg's addition I thought the storyline of his daughter and her boyfriend was annoying. Really they could have done without them. I guess he needed someone to protect. They wanted a background for him. A family guy who saves  a Transformer and becomes a sort of hero. I suppose these action movies aren't really made for their story lines as much as they are the action and how much CGI stuff they can add. With that said I liked this fourth movie way better than the first two movies.

If you are heading to the movies go check out Transformers Age of Extinction. Don't forget Regal and Cinemark have special days were you can get discounted tickets like Senior Days and Tuesdays for both companies have a $5 movie ticket all day in the Sacramento area. I'm not sure about other cities. Its worth checking out if you can save money. Also sign up for their reward programs to get other offers. Regal has the Regal Rewards card and you can earn rewards like free popcorn and even free movie tickets. Cinemark has coupons through their email and their new Cinemark app. I like to save money if I can. There is always the early bird option at most theaters. It is generally cheaper if you attend the first showing of the day.  Go out and watch movies this summer when you are trying to beat the heat.
