Transformers: Age of Extinction is officially rated PG-13. Bontent's independent parent guide recommends it for ages 13+.

Transformers: Age of Extinction follows inventor Cade Yeager as he uncovers a conspiracy involving rogue government agents and alien bounty hunters. The film is rated PG-13 primarily for sustained, loud, and often destructive sci-fi action sequences throughout its lengthy 165-minute runtime. Parents should be aware of…

Contains brief, mild innuendo and objectifying camera shots focusing on a teenage character's clothing and appearance.

Pervasive and intense sci-fi action includes mechanical dismemberment, headshots on robots, and multiple human deaths. Scenes involve impalement, point-blank grenade blasts, and close-quarters brawls where a human eye is gouged.

Moderate; includes one use of the 'f-word', multiple uses of 'shit', 'asshole', 'bitch', and various anatomical or derogatory insults throughout.

A character carries what appears to be a cigar for much of the film; it is revealed to be a high-caliber sniper bullet used later in combat.

Deals with intense loss, government corruption, the morality of creating artificial life, and the brutal hunt for sentient beings.

Transformers: Age of Extinction runs 165 minutes, directed by Michael Bay, released in 2014.
