Bolivar Trask was Right

Rating: 5/10 (29 May 2014)

Ordinary people do not matter. In many ways this film apes the way that people who belong to minorities have more rights than everyone else and think they can do whatever the hell they like.
In this film the mutants have nearly been wiped out by robot Sentinels built by humans and programmed only to kill people with the mutant X gene. Yet is makes it clear in the dystopian future the movie starts in that these Sentinels also kill ordinary people, which makes no sense whatsoever.
Like a lot a time-travel movies, it has daft plot holes and doesn't care about consistency. Towards the film's climax, serial murderer Magneto manages to get the anti-mutant robots to obey him by using his powers to put steel inside them. Okay, that would allow his powers to work on these things, but he wouldn't be able to give them orders, that's just dumb, but he does when it suits the meandering plot.
Over long, overly serious and ultimately disappointing. The effects are good, but they're the usual high end computer Paint Box fare that are blatantly not actually there.
If you're easily impressed and don't care about logic or any characterization or depth, you may still enjoy this.
