X-Men : Days Of Future Past (2014) 8/10

Starring : Hugh Jackman, James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Peter Dinklage
Director : Bryan Singer
Running Time : 130 mins

With their lives in perpetual danger from the mutant hunting Sentinels, the X-Men send the consciousness of Wolverine (Jackman) back to the seventies to try and derail the Sentinel programme before it can begin by preventing the death of Dr Bolivar Trask (Dinklage) at the hands of shape-shifting mutant Raven (Lawrence), an event which pushed the programme through congress and convinced the public of the danger of mutant kind.

Although an at-times confusing movie that might force many people to give up if they think too much, this is a decent action flick that allows fans to see some of the lesser used characters from the comic books take centre stage in the Sentinel-filled future. The plot is complicated, but if you just let it flow over you, you will no doubt enjoy the error filled time-travel nonsense that manages to be so engrossing.
