X-Men 7 - Days Of Future Past (2014)

It's another marvelous Marvel movie! There's just one thing I don't like about the X-Men franchise, and that's the messy numbering. Each movie stands alone... for the most part, and yet you'll need to see them in chronological order to fully grasp the full picture. All those glimpses into Wolverine's past, what impact would they have had if you hadn't heard his story? Wolverine's traveling back in time to save his 'childhood friends', would we relate to that if we hadn't seen them in a prequel already? And didn't know how close they were? Why can't they just throw a seven the title so we know what segment of the saga this really is!

That said, this was awesome. It's a trip through time. A trip with new and old characters alike, and old characters both old and somewhat newer - younger - unaccustomed to deal with the decisions we are used to seeing them handle with ease. It's a both mind-bending and time-bending tale which of course is impervious to the fate of this entire parralel world, humankind, and our future - one where the good always wins. Where we can all co-exist in peace. Right?

The filmography is flawless. The characters, the fights, the choreography and effects, all of it leaves nothing to be desired. Maybe some characters are predictable, maybe some events are foreseeable, but overall I feel the movie had more surprise in store than otherwise. It's one more great segment of the saga, no more no less!
