Transformist 4 – The Age of Extinction Script
Posted: Sat Apr 05, 2025 5:40 am
As tradition dictates, just before hitting the road to Toulouse and spreading civilization, good taste, and of course, happiness to the Toulouse women who are not very attentive to their drinks, one of the phone number library summer blockbusters finds its place on this blog. As every year, I will share a drink with my kind readership (I'll put the information at the end of the spoiler, hop), but in the meantime, let's answer this nagging question:
" With a budget of $210 million, can you mess up something as basic as a script like that? "
The answer is so mysterious! Quick, Transformers 4, help me!
Without further ado, let's spoil my good ones!
The poster: I think some people have started to realize that the flames on the poster betrayed the poop. Fortunately, giant robots are still a safe bet for dung.
Our film begins somewhere in space, as a fleet of alien ships that has apparently launched a competition to determine who would be the ugliest (the USS Charleroi is involved) and the least suited to atmospheric reentry approaches Earth. Rest assured, no humans are going to suffer, since we are in the distant time of the dinosaurs, those creatures who spent their time chasing each other, making strange cries or even communicating with each other by tattoo. Yes, but here's the thing: the aliens are not just approaching Earth, they obviously want to do some sightseeing. Very annoyed because New York doesn't exist yet and yet it's a bit like the spaceport in all bad movies, they find themselves flying over the green plains of our little corner of the universe, and while the dinosaurs are still wondering what these flying turds are, the ships start firing a kind of super-napalm, which transforms everything it touches into metal. The majestic expanses of the Earth are soon transformed into a metallic desert populated only by statues of dinosaurs frozen in their last position (so it was not the time to pick one's nose or read Biba), and a few creatures that survived despite everything.
That being said, let's fast forward a little in time.
Here we are in the present, in Texas, where we find Cade Yeager, a broke but big-hearted engineer, and Lucas, his half-crazy, half-idiot partner. Both specialize in salvaging old equipment (they have a huge stock of Sega Nomads) and repairing and reselling it, which is why on this fine day they find themselves inspecting an old theater cluttered with junk accumulated over the years and whose owners would really like to get rid of it. Outdated cameras, worn seats and decent scripts, in other words, only things from another age await them, but at the turn of a corridor, Cade spots... a truck.
