When Kitty Pryde ( Ellen Page) is sending Logan’s consciousness back through time, by the way, Kitty Pryde has added “sending someone’s consciousness back through time” to her mutant abilities, his body still remains in his “present”.
#X men days of future past 2014 cast movie#
The inherent problem with a time travel movie like this is that it’s not a physical object, it’s not Logan’s body, but rather his mind that’s traveling. Unfortantely, X-Men: Days of Future Past goes even further beyond those movies in confusing timelines and made me they had contacted those filmmakers in regards to handling smart time travel. I like Looper, I like Primer, and I like Timecrimes, but even those movies have moments that can be debated about. You know what concept can be pretty annoying in comic book movies? TIME TRAVEL. You know what concept can be pretty annoying in comic books? Time travel. Token “Jennifer Lawrence is nice to look at” photo. It’s mutant against mutant against mutant-haters in a struggle to change history while also wondering if the course of time itself can never be corrected and if these mutants are destined to be destroyed regardless of their efforts. Bolivar Trask ( Peter Dinklage) is developing the X gene hunting Sentinels, while Raven ( Jennifer Lawrence) is on a path to assassinate him, solidifying mutant eradication. While Logan has to convince these two men that hate each other to work together, Dr. In 1973, he finds Charles Xavier ( James McAvoy) recovering physically and mentally from the destruction wrought by Erik Lehnsherr ( Michael Fassbender). The only mutant who could possibly survive this trip is Logan ( Hugh Jackman) who has to convince past versions of present day mutants to believe him. They’ve found a way to travel backwards in time to prevent key events from happening in their history that led to the mutant eradication. These “Sentinels” have reduced the mutant population down to almost nothing, with only a small resistance of mutants from our familiar X-Men.
The year is 2013 and any person found with the mutated “X” gene is being hunted downs by giant robots. It’s almost like that X is meant to represent something other than a retinal scan! Isn’t it crazy that this is kind of sort of the 7th X-Men movie? Granted, two of them mostly just focused on Wolverine and only three of those previous six would I consider good, but still, good job for the X-Men! But what is this movie? Is it a sequel to X-Men: First Class? A sequel to X-Men: The Last Stand? Old cast and new cast coming together with the return of Bryan Singer? There are a lot of things that could have gone wrong with this movie, and some things do go wrong, but as far as a summer movie goes, X-Men: Days of Future Past has a lot of fun, entertaining elements, even if there’s not much substance to it. This means I got to enjoy this film without having to constantly compare it to the source material. Awful, right? I was somewhat familiar with it because of the animated series, but not the actual comics. Boy oh boy, do I love those Excellent Men! That’s what the “X” stands for, right? What else could it mean? Admittedly, I’ve never read Chris Claremont’s Days of Future Past storyline.
