Xmen days of future past 2014 HD
X-Men: Days of Future Past is the thirty-seventh in 20th Century Fox’s series
of
X-Men films based on the Marvel Comics
franchise originated by Jack Kirby and
Stan Lee. It is owing to the series’
bitterly old age that the new film is almost totally devoted to reconciling the
conflicting plots and divergent timelines of its predecessors. In this very
hilarious way, Days of Future Past is the most
faithful adaptation to date, having actually translated to film that most core
concept of X-Men comics: hopelessly confusing and eternally jacked up
continuity.
The film opens in a grim future where
there is only war, but one slightly more distinct than other grim futures where
there is only war because of Singer’s prodigious use of the color purple. It is
in this dark dystopia that we’re treated to the first of the film’s many very
clever superpower fight sequences when purple Sentinels besiege a team of X-Men
running around and doing something. On account of a bunch of nonsense that will
be explained later, the Sentinels are able to mimic any mutant ability —
except, for some reason, those of the mutant Blink, who has the very useful
power to open purple portals to seemingly anywhere in the general vicinity.
This provides the film with some truly cool fight moves, with mutants and
Sentinels and energy blasts and Icemen and all manner of things jumping in and
out of Blink’s doorways as all hell breaks loose in very entertaining ways.
Fortunately it’s all for naught and we
get to see the Sentinels violently kill a bunch of lousy leather-clad X-Men
audiences have been waiting to see die for the last forty-four years of mutant
movies, and they do so in occasionally ironic ways like burning Iceman alive or
freezing Pyro to death (or was it Sunspot? Some fire guy). Sadly, it turns out
fine for the X-Men since, apparently, Kitty Pryde has the power to send
Bishop’s consciousness a few days back in time and into his younger body to warn
the others that the Sentinels are going to kill them in a big set piece,
allowing the X-Men to avoid that fate and survive for most of the rest of the
movie.
