Here’s some of the reasons I could put together, please do drop your comments if you have more reasons (or disagree with mine).īefore that, the climax was actually pretty cool. I took a week to sit down and figure why that was. And stayed that way after the climax and into the credits as well. But it constantly felt like something was missing.
#X MEN APOCALYPSE FILM FIREARMS MOVIE#
The movie had a lot going on and was long enough. His agenda is to wipe the world clean and to rule it. Though he has a very powerful mind, he does not have the power of telepathy. Although this could be the Oscar Winning JLaw effect.Īpocalypse has a couple of main powers – telekinesis, alteration of matter, teleportation and he can enhance the powers of other mutants. Mystique is not with the brotherhood because of the events of Days of Future Past and further more in Apocalypse, she becomes part of the X-Men and is even involved in training them. Events from X-Men Last Stand never happen and therefore Jean and Scott were still alive. Since she releases the phoenix early on, Charles probably doesn’t end up containing the beast in her mind. Jean unleashes the phoenix force on Apocalypse, crippling him.

Charles asks for Jean’s help and tells her to unleash her full power.
Jean Grey and Scott were both alive at the end of Days of Future Past. As a result Jean is in the school but has never met Magneto. Here in Apocalypse, Magneto exiles himself and lives with his family. As a result, she connects Nightcrawler with the X-Men much earlier in the timeline – as opposed to X2 where Nightcrawler meets the X-Men as an adult.Īccording to X-Men : Last Stand, both Erik and Charles go to meet the young Jean at her house to take her into the school. Mystique has been freeing mutants because of who she becomes in Days of Future Past. Wolverine, as we know, escapes from the facility directly after his adamantium fusion. This is not how it happens in the earlier timeline. Jean gives Wolverine back pieces of his memory. Jean, Scott and Nightcrawler release him from that box. Wolverine is kept in a safety unit container (looks like made of adamantium). Each of those possibilities were used to create an alternate set of events. This leaves endless possibilities of change. The new timeline which got created as a result of Days of Future Past was an altered one. A man after Magneto’s heart, or the other way around. He clearly doesn’t like what the world has become because humans rule the planet and not mutants. Obviously Apocalypse is pissed off because thousands of years have gone by and he didn’t manage his new body. Apocalypse lays asleep in the dark bowels of the earth and is woken up by a cult that worships him. While his 4 horsemen protect him, they end up being killed and buried deep within the earth. This even happens in the age of the ancient Egyptian civilization. He and his 4 mutants (called the 4 horsemen because the bible is shown to get this from him) are rudely interrupted in one of his conscience transfers to a new body. Apocalypse always works with 4 powerful mutants. There are spoilers ahead so do watch the movie before reading further. A young Nightcrawler is played by Kodi Smit-McPhee and Evan Peters is back as Quicksilver. Psylocke wields telekinetic weapons and is the only one who looks and has the costume straight out of the comic (picture below).
The film also features a young Storm (played by Alexandra Shipp) and a mutant by the name Psylocke (played by Olivia Munn). The story features young mutants Jean Grey (played by Sophie Turner from Game of Thrones) and a young Cyclops (played by Tye Sheridan). Charles (James McAvoy) is running the school with Beast (Nicholas Hoult). The story continues from right after Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence) saves the day and Magneto (Michael Fassbender) goes into exile. Remember how the events of Days of Future Past changed the future to create a new timeline with Jean Grey and Cyclops still alive? This story is set in that altered timeline. Over generations Apocalypse has picked up a variety of powers and is super powerful, way more powerful than the other mutants we have known and loved. Everytime he moves into another body he acquires the powers of that body. Over generations Apocalypse has been getting his conscience transferred from one body to another to continue living on and on. The film is about Apocalypse (played by Oscar Isaac) who is the first mutant.
