Transformers: Age Of Extinction: the Transformers hide out in the desert: Monument Valley, on the Utah-Arizona border Shane enters into the spirit, roaring through Lockhart and crashing his racer through a quiet bingo game being held in the old VFW Hall, 108 South Commerce Street (round the corner from San Antonio Street, where the specially ops team had just been seen). This being a Michael Bay epic, cars are soon flying recklessly through the air. The subsequent chase leads straight into Taylor via the Main Street Bridge, which crosses the rail lines south of town. The sudden appearance of Tessa’s cocky boyfriend, Shane ( Jack Reynor), in his Rally Racer gets the Yeagers out of immediate danger. The Cemetery Wind vehicles are seen barreling along San Antonio Street in Lockhart, about 50 miles south of Round Rock, but they nevertheless find their way to the Yeager farm. Under the control of fanatical Harold Attinger ( Kelsey Grammer), the organisation has turned on its mechanical former allies, hunting both Autobots and Decepticons as outlaws. The Yeagers soon find themselves on the radar of Cemetery Wind, a special ops group of Hollywood’s perennial bad guys, the CIA.

Transformers Age Of Extinction location: the truck in the abandoned ‘Texas’ theatre: Uptown Theatre, North Broadway Avenue, Uptown, Chicago You might remember Round Rock area as being the setting for much of Joel and Ethan Coen’s debut Blood Simple. The Yeagers’ farmhouse is 19818 Melber Lane, Manor on the eastern outskirts of Round Rock near Austin, Texas. In present day Texas, penurious (aren’t they always?) inventor Cade Yeager ( Mark Wahlberg) lives in a small farmhouse with buxom (aren’t they always?) daughter Tessa ( Nicola Peltz), until their lives are changed when he comes across a decrepit old truck, which turns out to be – well, guess what? Bigger! Sillier! Explodier! Totally bypassing eleven, Michael Bay turns the volume straight up to twelve to kick of the post- LaBoeuf franchise.īay sets up multiple story threads around the globe, including a brief prologue, filmed by a second unit in Iceland, which sees dinosaurs exterminated by ancient Transformers.
