Transformers Age of Extinction

Transformers Age of Extinction directed by Michael Bay, written by Ehren Kruger.
  Starring Mark Wahlberg (Cade Yeager), Stanley Tucci (Joshua Joyce), Kelsey Grammer (Harold Attinger), Nicola Peltz (Tessa Yeager), Jack Reynor (Shane Dyson), Titus Welliver(James Savoy), Bing bing Li (Su Yueming), T.J.Miller (Lucas Flannery ), Voice Actors, starring Peter Cullan (Optimus Prime), Frank Welker (Galvatron), John Goodman (Hound), Ken Watanabe (Drift), Robert Foxworth  ( Ratchet), John DiMaggio (Crosshairs), Mark Ryan (Lockdown), Reno Wilson (Brains).
  The Decepticon and Autobot battle in Chicago has put humanity In 
 a dark place.  The world will not undergo another alien robot invasion.  Harold Attinger (Kelsey Grammer) a High level CIA administrator establishes a covert ops team to go after and kill all alien beings.  
  Cade Yeager ( Mark Wahlberg) a partime mechanic and inventor discovers a transformer, Optimus Prime (Cullan). The Government sends in the covert ops unit to investigate Yeager (Wahlberg), which has the transformer hidden.  His family is threatened, Yeager (Wahlberg) escapes with the help of Shane Dyson (Jack Reyner), Tessa Yeager's boyfriend. 
  The beginning of the film starts of good, no complaints here. Until we get another alien robot that has allied itself with the CIA in order to find and capture Optimus Prime (Cullan).  
  Here is were I have a big problem, Yeager is just an inventor, mechanic, robotics expert and now a guy who can figure out an alien weapon.  Tessa (Nicola Peltz) his daughter and the hot chick in the film has a boyfriend with a cool car that goes through a cornfield at extreme speeds and manages to escape a helicopter and Government ops team.  
  Problems continue with KSI, a government contracted company useing the metel of the transformers and somehow making there own transformer called Galvatron.  I guess Michael Bay made this character Megatron which is a truck.  Bay needed to use the storyline of how Megatron became the iconic Galvatron which was voiced by Leonard Nimoy.  Galvatron turned into a cool looking blast cannon. The Alien which was hunting Prime was a Galvatron knock off. 
  Add explosions that look really good, Mark Wahlberg kicking butt. And robots killing eachother over nothing.  Let's bring in the Dinobots in the last 22 min of the film, forget that these guys are also main characters in the cartoon, but what the Hell! Let's bring them in to reign chaos in China this time around. 
  Campy story which makes no sense, explosions, Bam ! Pow! And let's throw in a hot chick to really bring the film together. The metel is unknown to humans but yet KSI managed to figure out how to control it.  But Megatron is the manipulator behind it all, and everyone in KSI is a moron, unable to figure out that Megatron/ Galvatron is behind there advancements. Poor storyline, waist of a film. Go back to the first film.  Great special effects but the story lacks any kind of soul.
