Just
like
any
other
action
film
franchise,
Transformers
also
features
a
series
of
explosions
and
gunfire
to
highlight
the
devastation
caused
by
the
human
and
metallic
alien
battle
on
earth.
The
superficial
devastation
inducted
in
the
film
is
not
only
for
the
sake
of
supporting
its
storyline,
but
also
the
director
Michael
Bay's
love
for
the
explosion.
So
much
so
that
Michael
Bay
has
destroyed
one
major
historical
monument
in
the
film
Transformers:
The
Last
Knight.
Well,
that
certainly
did
not
happen
in
real
life
though,
it
occurred
in
the
Transformers
when
Michael
Bay
actually
replicated
the
prehistoric
Stonehenge
monument
in
Wiltshire,
England
only
to
get
it
destroyed
in
the
film.
"I
mean
the
man
took
a
whole
crew
and
cast
and
unit
to
Stonehenge
and
then
by
the
time
he
had
made
it
down
the
road,
built
another
Stonehenge
just
so
he
could
blow
it
up." said
actress
Laura
Haddock.
"Michael's
sets
are
practical,
so
you
would
think
that
maybe
90
percent
of
this
film
is
done
on
green
screen,
and
it's
really
not.
He
loves
an
explosion.
He
absolutely
loves
them,
so
if
he
can
use
them
safely,
he
will."
Laura
Haddock
added.
"Often
you're
running
through
what
feels
like
a
genuine
...
battlefield.
Something
that
kind
of
builds
your
adrenaline.
You're
absolutely
experiencing
what
it
feels
like
to
have
an
explosion
go
off
just
behind
you.
And
you're
just
running,
running
for
your
life." The
actress
stated
further.
