I rated it a 7 because 6.5 wasn't available. I admit the movie doesn't have a lot of depth but that's not why I enjoy these types of films. If you're looking for character depth, amazing acting and a brilliant story-line...first you'll have to go back to the 50s for movies. The vast majority of good acting has long since been eaten (Spoiler? like the cruiser) by CGI, graphics, lack-luster editing, etc... Even the Academy Awards struggle to find worthy recipients, imo. This movie had all the things I watch such a movie for, cars and trucks, robots, machines, military machines, cool weapons, and this one even more with battle-axe wielding robots. All for some good ole bashing, fighting, CRASH, BAM and KABLOEE with the bass turned up nice and loud! I didn't enter the theater expecting "Last of the Mohicans" (one of my all time favs) so I got what I wanted...and a little more. I've never been a fan of all the sarcastic, "hip" robots they put in the films, ruined the second one for me with those stupid robots. But I loved Extinction...loved the dinobots! No, it's not an 10 out of 10, or even an 8 out of 10...but it's the smashumup stuff I really like to watch sometimes. Thanks Michael Bay, I'll pay to watch you're movies (when I'm in the mood) every time.
