The plot to Xmen: Days of Future Past goes like this: 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 "X-Men: First Class," in an epic battle that must change the past -- to save our future.
Getting right into it, this trailer was awesome! It showed and did everything a trailer should do and that was give me a glimpse of what is to come, give me a feel of the tone of the film and show me what the film will look like. This trailer did that and then some.
Let me breakdown some quick positives and negatives though.
Positives:
- The music made this trailer even more awesome. It fit the tone so perfectly.
- Seeing Sir Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart on screen again as Magneto and Professor X, respectively, was such a beauty of a scene that it almost brought a tear to my eyes.
- Seeing how the future setting looks, with the burned down buildings and the futuristic alter that Wolverine will use to travel to the past is a marvel to look at.
- At the end of the trailer where we see James McAvoy's young Professor X come face to face with Patrick Stewart's Professor X, that scene sold it for me.
Negatives:
- We did not see enough of the Sentinals (robots that hunts and kills mutants). More footage of them would have been much appreciated.
- We only had a glimpse of Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones Fame) as Trask, the CEO of Trask Industries and creator of the Sentinals. More of him would have been much appreciated as well.
Xmen: Days of Future Past is set to be released everywhere on May 23, 2014.
And As Always, I'm The Movie Maniac, and I'm Frantic About Film :D
