- 67HitfixDrew McWeenyHitfixDrew McWeenyAge Of Extinction more than delivers on whatever promises Bay makes to an audience at this point. Giant robots. Giant mayhem. Destruction on a global scale. You know what you're in for if you buy a ticket, and Bay seems determined to wear you down with the biggest craziest Transformers movie yet.
- 63RogerEbert.comGlenn KennyRogerEbert.comGlenn KennyConfounding. But not without its thrills.
- 50VarietyMaggie LeeVarietyMaggie LeeIt’s the robots — endowed here with character-rich physicality and almost human-scaled facial features — who give the film its emotional heft.

- 38New York PostKyle SmithNew York PostKyle SmithYou get the feeling the guy who wrote Transformers: Age of Extinction used the entire script as a passive-aggressive running joke on his boss, director Michael Bay.
- 38Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperChicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperAge of Extinction is just another warmed-over, cynical, ATM machine of a movie. It’s soulless eye candy.
- 30The Hollywood ReporterClarence TsuiThe Hollywood ReporterClarence TsuiBelying its ominous title, Age of Extinction barely skirts the idea that humankind and planet Earth are about to be totally annihilated. What is extinguished is the audience's consciousness after being bombarded for nearly three hours with overwrought emotions...bad one-liners and battles that rarely rise above the banal.
- 30TheWrapAlonso DuraldeTheWrapAlonso DuraldeThe battling, metallic heroes have never looked better, but Michael Bay's choppy, dissonant storytelling methods remain as audience-punishing as ever.
- 20New York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierNew York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierIf you're not an 11-year-old boy, or a grown-up in the mood to feel like one, the endless "wow!-that-car-is-now-a-deep-voiced-robot" scenes lack thrill. In fact, the action scenes, as in the previous films, are downright headache-inducing.
- 20The DissolveMatt SingerThe DissolveMatt SingerGive Age Of Extinction this much credit: Of all the Transformers movies, this is the longest. And save for a few visual centerpieces and a couple of amusing supporting turns, it’s also an endless, incoherent mess.
