A bit of an awkward moment in the X-Men story

Rating: 6/10 (16 December 2018)

The film was basically a feeble attempt to link the old Patrick Stewart generation of X-Men to the new James McAvoy breed, made apparent by the crossover scene where Stewart meets McAvoy.
I did like the new X-Men; Blink, Bishop and Warpath (although I couldn't really tell you what Warpaths power was except to see really far)
The new guy Sunspot was good but he seemed only a means of having an opposite for Iceman (in the previous films they had Pyro to do the same thing)
It made no real sense in the storyline of Stewart's timeline; at no point in the previous films had they even hinted at the threat of Trask's machines, yet it apparently stated long before his time?
Are we supposed to believe too that Wolverine was brought back from Japan to the USA by Stewart and McEllen (at the end of the preceding Wolverine film) and thrust into a sudden war? A war that engulfed the entire world yet Japan (for the events of his last film) was completely ignored?
And how did Stewart come back anyway, they never do reveal that big plot hole; last I saw Jean tore him apart at the atomic level, something only Wolverine himself could survive? He's a psychic not a healer.
The ending too seemed odd, Wolverine had changed time and as expected only HE remembered the timeline before which is fine, but suddenly Jean and Cyclops were alive as though they were saying 'discard the previous films' (which to be honest is no great loss)
And showing Wolverine in the past being dredged out of the river by Mystique impersonating Stryker suggested a sequel with him joining McAvoy's lot which we know won't happen because throughout the film he haddn't yet been used by the real Stryker to give him his adamantium claws.
