Our take on X-Men: Days of Future Past
Bryan Singer's 2014 science-fiction adventure spans two eras of the X-Men saga. Facing a war for the survival of mutantkind, the older heroes reach back through time to join forces with their younger selves, mounting a desperate effort to alter the past before it seals a catastrophic future. Blending action, adventure and time-travel intrigue, the film weaves together a large ensemble across decades, letting familiar characters meet earlier versions of themselves. Its stakes are sweeping and its structure ambitious, prioritising spectacle and continuity-spanning storytelling. It suits fans of the franchise who enjoy seeing its threads pulled together, and viewers who like superhero cinema that plays with history and consequence on a grand scale.
