Wasted potential

Rating: 6/10 (2 January 2019)

Days of Future Past was a reset button for the series, canceling out all of the previous films except for First Class. It made me hopeful that Apocalypse would maintain First Class' style of focusing on a small number of characters to give us a chance to relate to the characters. However, Apocalypse returned to the old trilogy's system of dividing the screen time between so many characters that it becomes impossible to fully relate to any of them. The result is a generally interesting, but never fully entertaining, film that seems to drag on rather than play out nicely.
