Transformers: Age of Extinction is a 2014 American science fiction action film based on Hasbro's Transformers toy line. The film is the fourth installment in the Transformers film series and the sequel to Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011). Like its predecessor, the film is directed by Michael Bay and written by Ehren Kruger. It stars Mark Wahlberg, Stanley Tucci, Kelsey Grammer, Nicola Peltz, Jack Reynor, Sophia Myles, Bingbing Li, Titus Welliver and T.J. Miller. It does not feature the original human cast from the previous three films, and instead introduces a new human cast and many new Transformers, including the Dinobots.

The film was the first feature film to be shot on smaller digital IMAX cameras, as well as various other film formats, such as IMAX 70mm film cameras, digital stereo 3D, and anamorphic and spherical 35mm film.

The film was released on June 27, 2014, in IMAX and 3D.[3] Upon release, Age of Extinction was financially successful and grossed over $1.104 billion worldwide on a $210 million budget, making it the highest-grossing film of 2014, the only film in 2014 to gross over $1 billion, and at that point the 10th-highest-grossing film of all time, though it received negative reviews. The film was nominated for 7 awards at the 35th Golden Raspberry Awards, including Worst Picture, winning Worst Director for Bay and Worst Supporting Actor for Grammer. The sequel, The Last Knight, was released in June 2017.
