X-Men: Days of Future Past
Stream
Rent & Buy
The ultimate X-Men ensemble fights a war for the survival of the species across two time periods as they join forces with their younger selves in an epic battle that must change the past – to save our future.
What critics thought
Widely embraced as one of the franchise's strongest entries, the film earns particular credit for weaving two timelines together at a propulsive clip — though a minority of critics found the plotting scrambled and the large ensemble underserved by the pace. Many have noted that the film functions partly as a soft retcon of the most controversial decisions in the series' history.
“the greatest, most complete and staggeringly entertaining [X-Men film] to date”
Sean O'Connell·CinemaBlend
“While it's more dramatically diffuse than the reboot and lacks a definitive villain, the new film is shot through with a stirring reverence for the Marvel Comics characters and their universe”
David Rooney·The Hollywood Reporter
“Non-devotees might struggle, but director Bryan Singer whips up the action towards a symphonic climax”
Steve Rose·The Guardian
“The film squanders both of its casts, reeling from one fumbled set-piece to the next. It seems to have been constructed in a stupor, and you watch in a daze of future past”
Robbie Collin·The Daily Telegraph
