Rating: 9/10 (10 June 2015)

X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014): Dir: Bryan Singer / Cast: Hugh Jackman, James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Peter Dinkledge: Another visually stunning fantastic superhero epic. This one regards choices and corrections. Wolverine is sent back in time to prevent a series of events from happening that could extinct mutants. Due to his ability to heal he is the only mutant who can withstand the time travel but time is running out. Patrick Stewart and James McAvoy play the older and younger versions of Charles Xavier, a mutant with the most power over the mind. While Stewart is confident from years of fighting the mutant war, McAvoy is depressed and desires freedom from his ability until Wolverine intervenes. Ian McKellen and Michael Fassbender play the older and younger Magneto who can manipulate metal. McKellen's villain has come to terms with Xavier and forms an alliance. Fassbender is broken out of confinement yet still has evil tendencies. Jennifer Lawrence plays Mystique who can manipulate herself into the image of any person. She is set to assassinate a scientist who uses her DNA as part of the answer to destroy mutants. Xavier uses his mind power to attempt to reason with her but she is determined to bring justice through murder. Peter Dinkledge is terrific as the villain scientist whom Mystique seeks revenge upon. Extremely entertaining with Bryan Singer returning as director to set the tone. The action is exhilarating and the special effects are flashy and guarantee the best of past and future in terms of visual presentation of storytelling. Score: 9 / 10
