Transformers: Age of Extinction it is. Derivative title to say the least. Recently we were treated to the revelation that the next Avengers flick will be called Avengers: Age of Ultron. And what's that one about? A robot threatening mankind with extinction! Other sub-titles Paramount reportedly considered for Transformers 4 were Apocalypse, Future Cast and Last Stand. Also all less than original. Remember Resident Evil: Apocalypse, X-Men: Days of Future Past and X-Men: The Last Stand? Paramount must be thinking it can shave a few bucks off this hugely expensive project by copying better movies' titles.
Oh well, there's robots in the shape of dinosaurs in this one - as there are in Power Rangers, by the way, so also not a wholly novel concept - so I may be forgiving for once. Not that I care much about the Transformers franchise under Michael Bay's continuous supervision. I've sat through three shitty movies about alien robots inexplicably changing into Earthly vehicles, so I'm not interested in a fourth. But 'Dinobots' sounds simply so mesozoically cheesy, this film might entice even me. And if it ends up a dud, there's fortunately plenty of other dinosaur related movies in store. Walking with Dinosaurs 3D this year, Pixar's The Good Dinosaur the next, and hopefully (finally!) Jurassic Park IV in 2015. It seems the dinosaurs are back to stay. Again.
