X:Men: Days of the Future Past

The newest installment of the X-Men series focuses on the comic book saga where the future is one giant genocide by the Sentinels. In this feature Wolverine goes back in time to 1973 (I think) to help foil the assassination of Bolivar Trask (Peter Dinklage) by Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence). The goal is to reverse the events that follow where Mystique is captured, her DNA is harvested, and Trask's greatest creation of the Sentinel is perfected to become adaptable to anything because of Mystique's DNA. Professor X is in whiny bitch/drunk mode (James McAvoy), Magneto (Michael Fassbender) is imprisoned for Kennedy's assassination, though apparently wrongfully. Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) is the only person who can withstand being sent back in time by Kitty Pryde (Ellen Page) and I didn't know that was her power either. It is a little strange that Professor X is all fucked up because I never knew his character went into that mode, but I do like the 70's styles and costumes they roll with. Cast is VERY strong and impressive. I like the story, though time travel often lends itself to ridiculousness, though this movie doesn't dabble in it too badly. Bottom Line: 8.2 out of 10. I was impressed by the cast and most of the film. I wasn't blow away by anything, but it was CERTAINLY worth the $3.00 to see it at the cheap seats. I'd pay that just to see Jennifer Lawrence in the Mystique character.
