Days of future past: It didn't make sense then, and it still doesn't!

Rating: 7/10 (31 May 2014)

My summary of the movie:
So the X-Men are being hunted down and destroyed by Sentinels – powerful killing machines that can mimic and counter any mutant power. I guess that forces the eternal enemies Professor X and Magneto to work together. Wolverine shows up on the scene as well, all dressed up for the occasion. By the way, they never explained how Professor X was able to re-combobulate himself after being literally blown to smithereens in X3 by a raging Phoenix. By the end of THAT movie he was in another person's body. I felt part was glossed over somehow. What was also glossed over was the fact that Kitty Pride suddenly has the ability to send people back in time (well, in their mind anyway, but the result is pretty much the same.) So she sends Wolverine back in time so that he can stop the pivotal point when the Sentinel program gains the ability to defeat all mutants – that is, when Mystique is captured and her DNA harvested. So Wolverine reluctantly obliges. He is, after all, the best man for the job. Getting people to work together is his thing, since he's such a team player himself.
So back in 1970's, Wolverine and his bone claws go looking for Professor X, who's doped up on drugs with Beast as his supplier. They decide to break Magneto out of his no-metal prison. (How many times does Magneto end up in those?) To do this, they recruit The Flash to bust into the Pentagon, break out Magneto, so he can get to Mystique, who is out choking men to death with her feet. That's the plan anyway. (Although there doesn't seem to be much of a plan throughout the movie; everyone is just sort of improvising.) On the way, Magneto and the Prof. get into an argument, which almost ends up crushing the plane they're flying in. Thankfully, Mag gets a grip and fixes the plane. Then some really weird stuff happens. Mystique tries to kill a short guy, Mag tries to kill Mystique, Wolverine sees Stryker and gets a panic attack, which sends us back to the future and some more fight scenes between the Sentinels and a big black guy with a big gun, Storm who charges him up with her lightning, and a woman who is from the Portal games.
Back in the 70's, Magneto hops on a train with the Sentinels (1970's version) and injects them with metal from the rails so that he could control them. He then continues on his bewildering quest and (literally) picks up an entire baseball stadium and transports it to the White House. He then drags Nixon and his cronies up and out of their bomb shelter to convince them that he's not a threat (or is a threat, I forget). By the end, Mystique is convinced by X not to kill Shorty, which saves the future. Shorty ends up in jail for selling secrets to the US. That's what you get for messing with Nixon. Oh, and Wolverine gets horribly impaled and drowned. But he'll be OK.
So finally, back in the future, we see the end of all mutant-kind as the Sentinels pull Colossus apart (again), defeat Flame guy and Iceman, and Magneto gets impaled by a shard of metal of all things. Oh, the irony! And as we watch the destruction, we realize that it never took place at all. Wolverine wakes up at Xavier's school where he has a decent haircut and teaches history. He sees Jean Gray, the love of his life, still alive, which means X3 didn't happen. He goes to touch her, and Cyclops intercedes. Damn. Oh well, he quickly moves on and the movie ends with him and the Prof catching up, since apparently none of the X-Men movies ever really happened.
Series rebooted. Congratulations, Bryan Singer. You've destroyed everything you've created.
PS: If you stay until after the credits, you'll see a guy building pyramids out of Lego. Many people are worshipping him because, well, it's Lego!
