Movie Info
The ultimate X-Men ensemble fights a war for the survival of the species across two time periods in X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST. The beloved characters from the original "X-Men" film trilogy join forces with their younger selves from the past, "X-Men: First Class," in order to change a major historical event and fight in an epic battle that could save our future.

It’s not easy being a mutant. This message has been drilled into the X-Men movies ever since the opening of the very first one, which showed Rogue accidentally kissing her boyfriend into a coma and subsequently being forced to flee her former life. At the end of X-Men: First Class, hatred and fear of mutants led to the US and the USSR being temporarily united against the common enemy.
Mutants aren’t very popular, and in the alternate future of Bryan Singer’s upcoming “inbetweequel” X-Men: Days of Future Past, this anti-mutant hysteria has been taken to near-genocidal extremes. Desperate to prevent mass tragedy before it can even begin, Kitty Pryde sends Wolverine’s mind back in time to his younger body, so that he can convince young Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr to work together and save mankind.
X-Men fans were able to breathe a little easier after theearly Twitter reactions to X-Men: Days of Future Pastproved to be overwhelmingly positive, even praising Quicksilver (who had caused complaints due to his somewhat dodgy hair and costume) as a highlight of the movie. 140 characters don’t leave a lot of room for detail, but now the first batch of reviews for X-Men: Days of Future Past are in and, though they’re somewhat more critical, on the whole they seem to reflect the earlier responses.
