We’re only a few weeks away from the premiere of Transformers: Age Of Extinction, so it’s no surprise that more promotional footage from the film is making its way online. Two of the recent previews offer fans a bit more of both the villains set to be introduced, plus the long-awaited debut of the Dinobots.

In a television spot that debuted at CraveOnline, the raging Dinobots get the spotlight, with a brief scene featuring fire-breathing Tyrannosaurus Rex ‘bot Grimlock letting loose with a roar at Stanley Tucci while Mark Wahlberg stands nearby. The 15-second teaser closes with a sequence that answers one of the big questions fans have been asking about Age Of Extinction, as Grimlock is seen bellowing flames on a bridge then transforming into his humanoid robot form. So there you have it, Transformers fans: Grimlock will indeed transform.

As for the second television spot to arrive online recently, the new footage provided by Paramount Pictures puts the emphasis on the film’s villains, revealing the facial features of gun-faced robot assassin Lockdown (voiced by Mark Ryan) and hinting that the new, alien threat to the Autobots may have come to Earth on another character’s orders. There are also a few good scenes of the glorious, mechanized carnage created by the Dinobots as Optimus Prime (Peter Cullen) rides Grimlock into battle.

You can watch both teasers below, and see the full film when Transformers: Age of Extinction arrives in theaters June 27.

3 underrated (HBO) Max movies you should watch this weekend (June 28-30)
A girl looks at a boy in House at the End of the Street.

June is surprisingly over, and with it, a great month for movies comes to a satisfactory close. You've probably watched Inside Out 2 or Bad Boys: Ride or Die or maybe even The Bikeriders. From blockbusters to indie fare, the theatrical movie business has been robust and healthy.

The same goes for streaming. Netflix had a big hit with Richard Linklater's Hit Man, while Amazon Prime Video recently premiered the latest bonkers season of The Boys. HBO and Max have been quieter, but their robust library speaks volumes to the streamer's high quality. The following three films are older, but are just as worth your time as new hits like House of the Dragon season 2.

As we head toward the end of June, it's worth reflecting on how we want to spend the rest of summer. For some, that's going to mean enjoying nice weather or getting some time in at the beach. For others, it might mean escaping from the heat, at least for a while, to check out a great movie.

If you fall into that second category, then we've pulled together a list of three great, underrated, titles available on Amazon Prime Video that are all worth checking out. Prime Video is home to some of the best movies available online, but it can be hard to find the ones you want. These three will at least give you a great place to start.

The best Netflix original series right now
Eric and Benedict Cumberbatch in Eric.

The era of Peak TV was also Peak Netflix, because the streamer seemingly had an endless supply of new original series. So far in 2024, that hasn't been the case. Whether we'll ever get the same level of content again seems unlikely for now. But even in a reduced capacity, Netflix still has a few new additions to its lineup of originals.

For the month of June, we're adding the '80s-set thriller, Eric, which stars Benedict Cumbebatch. Our other pick for the month is Supacell, which is Netflix's new British series that remixes some old superhero archetypes. That's not a very big selection for fans who always want something new, but this roundup of the best Netflix original series really does have all of the top options in one place for you. All you have to do is scroll down and make time to binge watch some shows.
