MASTERPIECE

THIS MOTION PICTURE IS OFFICIALLY AN AFFILIATE OF THE FILMMAKING PARAGONS.

Welcome to the most exuberant instalment of the X-Men franchise! A staggering effort by Bryan Singer that erases your past experiences with the mutants & gives a history reboot through retroactive continuity to this troop of superheroes.

This sequel is the most critical of all. It wipes out everything that has happened thus far. A continuation to First Class, The Wolverine & The Last Stand, Days of Future Past emphasizes the fate of mutants as a whole. The script is one of the most astute, painstaking, intelligent, dense & explicit one to be ever transliterated onto silver screens! In other words, a perfect writing! A seduction hard to resist! It is not every day we see characters from past & future interacting with each other, that too in a sensible plot ambiance. With a quintessential blend of time travel, action, heist, robots, humour, darkness, drama, thriller & superheroes, what else do you need to enjoy a movie?

Not a single detail's left out of the picture! These are exiguous units but could even change character motivations here! Although background-blurred, you could see Erik's hand manipulating the bullet trajectory towards out the window. Notice how Logan struggles when he slips between the memories of actual near future & present. Huge tensions everywhere to lock you onto your seats, be it in the concurring past or future! What if Wolverine's plans turn haywire? What if it leads to the extinction of his kind? Audiences experience a Brobdingnagian scale of fulfillment after continuously land sliding on a steep slope of decreasing hopes approaching a dark & desolate abyss. Emotionally empowering & dramatically hefty! As how the trademark goes, this script is also universal.

Quicksilver's comical way of falsifying an intense situation in a slowed perspective time mode is in everyone's book of best scenes ever shot in cinematic history! Sentinels' that could adapt to any target in a goal to demolish the mutant race is blood-curdling! Charles looking past Wolverine's future, wrecking plane recovering, Xavier powwowing with Raven through various other people & Wolverine being impregnated by steel concrete wire mesh will blow you away!

If Eric's let to be captured, he'll be as good as dead, since now that a mutant has saved the humans & President. Therefore, he's allowed to flee. The movie's purpose is bigger than saving just the one day. It aims to rescue the entire new future. Magneto's actions further will only render him a murderer. There's no point in killing the humans already.

Talk about presence & reprisal of characters that could change meanings. Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, James McAvoy as Professor X, Michael Fassbender as Magneto, Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique, Peter Dinklage as Trask & Nicholas Hoult as Beast have the largest share of the pie. Charles & Erik has a reunion as both of them complements the uncommon friendship they share. Bolivar Trask is a determined & clear-goaled character, with a rather rare masculine voice projection & penetrating facial pantomimes. Confident Mystique is the key role to many proceedings. Storm (Halle Berry), Bishop (Omar Sy), Shadowcat (Ellen Page) & Iceman (Shawn Ashmore) has vital cameos. Quicksilver's (Evan Peters) screen appearance may just be for a while like his supersonic speed, but he provides a memorable footage! It's good to see the old casts back home again, particularly Jean (Famke Janssen) & Cyclops (James Marsden).

Wolverine looks fit as always with a dashing posture. As the story is set in the distant future with suitable costumes & settings to signify it, you can see Logan's starting to age. Sending consciousness into one's younger body is the best time traveling tool ever for a storyline, especially considering parceling a person who could physically make it possible; the man who can heal as fast as he rips apart! At the end of the picture, you can't help but to feel amazed & equally pitiful of the protagonist as he is truly a cursed one. He remains as the only member of the X-Men family, who has witnessed many types of wars; who knows both the true & altered history; who has experienced a supposedly disastrous future & who will see a new destiny. Explanations to how Wolverine has regained his Adamantium claws & how he knows the adult Peter Maximoff will definitely be shown in upcoming volumes.

What is X-Men without extraordinary graphics? The over few thousands who have worked in generating computer based imagery gives us reasons why we should catch this film. Magneto plucking a stadium, Sentinels getting revived & Quicksilver changing scenarios in a diluted time are few of the highlights. Polymer & metal Sentinels are majestic! The level of meticulousness in carving Wolverine's body mechanics is mind-boggling! When he recovers from bullet shots, the lens only captured 10% of the wound but you would notice the healing process occurring. When he attempts to show Maximoff that he is as same as the latter by ejecting the claws, you could see muted movement at the back of his hand. However, the scene where Erik peels off the metal railway track & injects it into the prototypes on train is cartoonish. Cut & right is the theme for the dialogues. Young Charles' "Power is back on" symbolically & literally describes the place and his stand point in a parallel fashion.

Multi-talented editor & music composer John Ottman proves he is the master of both. Handling a tricky film that gallivants as it wishes between alternate timelines requires special set of scissoring skills. If he had missed one layer of story board, audiences would have missed a great movie. Keeping things clear in mind, he has managed to use his magic & patch up multiple frames of shooting into a clear strand of movie progress. For the background music, he has spent quality time researching methods to enhance X-Men using the dexterity he has. The first & obvious one that would come to your notice is the heartbeat track used when Wolverine journeys to the past. For most of the rest, grandeur score was regular across!

Newton Thomas Sigel has worked side by side with Bryan Singer to engineer a tough film through his lens. He was able to execute the most challenging angles with excruciating details. Majority scenes required numerous cameras communicating with each other & darting wherever and whenever necessary. There are scenes in the film our human mind could find it hard to fathom when the shooting takes place. For example, the mutant Blink (Fan Bingbing) who could open portals from various POV is undoubtedly a hard bit to perceive & execute. Thanks to cinematographer, viewers have now the opportunity to enjoy an original screenwriting brought to life!

After eons, this is the superhero film that'll adrenalize you. X-Men: Days of Future Past is too good to the point where it'll make you forget the previous films & leave the hall contented. The most epic addition to this heptology peregrination!

"Just because someone stumbles, loses their way, it doesn't mean they're lost forever. Sometimes, we all need a little help. And as frightening it may be, pain will you make you stronger. If you allow yourself to feel it, embrace it, it will make you more powerful than you ever imagined. It's the greatest gift we have. To bear pain without breaking and it's born from the most human power. Hope."
