Read Adam Frazier’s review of this film from May here.

X-Men: Days of Future Past is the X-Men movie I’ve dreamed of since my youth, back in the day when I mowed lawns during the dog days of summer to save up enough money to buy the latest X-comics off the shaky wire racks at my neighborhood 7-11. Those were the days when the comics were written by the great Chris Claremont and drawn by his gifted artistic equal Jim Lee and Future Past is the closest we’ve come yet to having a motion picture that brings those bold emotions, visuals, and outrageous “only in the funny books” style of four-color storytelling to explosive life.

As the late, great Mickey Newbury once sung, the future’s not what it used to be. The world has long been ravaged by a war between an alliance of mutants and sympathetic humans and the relentless robotic mutant hunters the Sentinels. Professor Xavier (Patrick Stewart) and his X-Men are now the last remnants of the resistance and every day their numbers get lower. Kitty Pryde (Ellen Page) and her ability to project a person’s consciousness back in time has helped give them a slim advantage in the ongoing battle and that power must now be used to send someone back to the point in history when the war became unavoidable: the assassination of Sentinel creator Dr. Bolivar Trask (Peter Dinklage) at the hands of Xavier’s former friend and surrogate sister Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence) in 1973.

“As new species are formed through natural evolution, others will become rarer and rarer, and finally extinct. The forms which stand in closest competition with those undergoing modification and improvement will naturally suffer most.” – Charles Darwin, “Origin of the Species”

With X-Men: Days of Future Past, director Bryan Singer and screenwriter Simon Kinberg rewrite history and right the wrongs of sequels past. Based on the celebrated storyline from Chris Claremont and John Byrne‘s 1981 run on Uncanny X-Men, Singer’s latest X-film acts as a sequel to both 2006’s X-Men: The Last Stand and 2011’s X-Men: First Class, as well as a follow-up to 2013’s The Wolverine.

2023. In the post-apocalyptic ruins of New York City, mutants are enslaved by Sentinels, biomechanical hunter-killers that have decimated the Earth’s population and reduced the world to rubble. In Moscow, the remaining X-Men plan to send Wolverine back to 1973 to stop Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence) from killing scientist Bolivar Trask (Peter Dinklage), whose assassination triggers the Sentinel Program’s approval by President Nixon.

20th Century Fox has released the third and final official trailer for X-Men: Days of Future Past.

The trailer shows plenty of footage of Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) going back in time to get help from the much younger mutants, the Sentinel threat, and the chaos going on in the present.

You can read a synopsis and check out the final X-Men: Days of Future Past trailer below.

It’s really hard to get a comic book fan’s attention when Guardians of the Galaxy keeps jumping up and down while flailing its arms. And rightfully so, the trailer was a smashing success. But there are a few other comic book movies that have yet to be released that have a much bigger fan base and an already established franchise, such as X-Men: Days Of Future Past, which has had only one trailer so far.

But with the May 23, 2014 release date just months away, we can expect to see a new one soon. Until then Fox has released four new movie stills as well as a slew of character images to help promote the film. Check them out in the photo gallery here below.

Best buds Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen are being silly again. The duo has been photographing themselves in fun situations for a few months now – you can visit see a history of their escapades here.

This time around, the two Brits posted a photo to Twitter of themselves getting ready for football’s biggest day of the year, Super Bowl XLVIII, happening this Sunday night. In the photo, the X-Men co-stars are sporting NFL jersey’s from this year’s contenders: Stewart is wearing one for the Seattle Seahawks, while McKellen is in one for the Denver Broncos, which is all well and good except that they’re holding up a soccer ball!
