Having not been a big "X-Men" movie aficionado, I was a little naive going into the movie, but I must admit, The X-Men are back. All of them. Days of Future Past is an ambitious undertaking to say the least. This film a sequel to three other movies: 2006's "X-Men 3 The Last Stand", 2011's "X-Men First Class", and 2013's "The Wolverine".
Days of Future Past reunites the old X-Men cast in a not too distant dsytopian future, where all powerful mutant-killing robots called "The Sentinels" search the entire world for the last of the mutants. In an effort to save their future, they send one of their own back to the past to prevent this Apocalypse from ever happening. The almost immortal Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) is the one to do it.
Wolverine is sent back to the year 1973 to Paris, France to the Paris Peace Accords. Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence) is on a very personal mission to  assassinate The Sentinels creator, Bolliver Trask (Peter Dinklage). In order to do this Wolverine has to recruit and reunite Magneto (Michael Fassbender) and Professor X (James McAvoy), and other mutants to help him.
This was a great movie with tons of action and history as well. As always, the special effects were incredible.
Parents be advised: I would recommend this movie for children 12 and over. There is some nudity, Hugh Jackman's backside and Jennifer Lawrence's blue body is suggestive.The mutants and their transformations are sometimes scary and there is a lot of action and violence.
I am giving "X-Men Days of Future Past" a solid three bags of popcorn.
