Days of Past Future Present Now Then Soon

Rating: 6/10 (18 October 2014)

First off, I know it's a fiction movie about people with super powers. But the story still has to make some sense.
The only redeeming quality to the movie is the special effects and actions scenes. The acting is wooden. The dialog is mediocre. And the total premise of the story simply doesn't work or make any sense.
I had already heard about continuity problems but I tried to overlook them. I couldn't and it really took away from the experience. The frequent flashes between Logan in the past and the future battle between the X-Men and the Sentinels doesn't make a bit a sense. Had Logan been successful in the past, that time line would have ceased the moment he went back. Had he failed, then he would have failed and the Sentinels would have killed them all. That dual battle showing the past and future battles was lazy, uninspired writing.
I also thought Singer went out of his way to take shots at the movies/directors since his last X-Men movie. Last Stand killed off Jean Grey and Cyclops - nope, altered time line changes that. Logan loses his Adamantium claws in The Wolverine - nope, changed that and provided no explanation. In First Class, Charles is paralyzed in 1962 - nope, taking a shot now that makes his legs work.
Overall, I have to think this was just a platform to get both casts together and not near enough effort went into writing a good and believable story.
