The past future of Earthlings
The "first class" has become an undoubted leap into modernity. The picture showed itself perfectly, demonstrating a fresh look at the trilogy about People from the 2000s. It was interesting to see the continuation of the large-scale comic action movie of 2011, the name of which sounds great "Days of Future Past". Undoubtedly, I wanted to see the continuation of the story of the formation of Magneto and Professor X, but we must pay tribute to the creators — they competently lured the audience by attracting Hugh Jackman and his Wolverine to the project, as well as the heroes who were once performed by Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart. Besides them, other familiar characters appeared in the picture.
The film undertook to show one of the most interesting stories where the superiority of mutants was nullified when humanity took seriously to deal with people with superpowers. The Guardian robots were incredibly dangerous and practically invincible. The picture already shows at the very beginning how strong and ferocious these machines are. Creatures of human hands, the Guardians kill in cold blood any mutant that gets in their way. And these silent killers really terrify, suddenly in the mind of the viewer radically changing the balance of power in the confrontation. There is only one salvation — a journey into the past, and only Wolverine can make it.
The story is rich. It is in no way inferior in scale to the powerful "First Class", and in terms of the number of characters and stars on the screen, it undoubtedly surpasses the previous superhero team film. The story is strong, it combines strong drama and a lot of adventures, for which the audience loves this franchise. The director was again Bryan Singer, who gave us the original dilogy of 2000 and 2003. His hand is absolutely felt in this project. The story is large-scale, it is deeply personal and incredibly watchable.
The calculation was a win-win. The creators combine two storylines, where both classic characters and actors performing them appear, as well as new performers whom the audience saw in the 2011 film. At the same time, the stories perfectly echo, they allow you not to get confused about what is happening on the screen, and Logan, performed by Hugh Jackman, looks like an excellent kind of glue of this work. The opening of the film was Evan Peters, who gave the world Mercury. He is a charismatic character who, even in the short minutes of his screen time, was able to make the audience fall in love with him, promising an interesting story of this mutant in the future.
The film has a deep script. The creators did a great job, turning the plot not just into an attraction with special effects and fierce battles, but creating a truly deep story, where the main place is given to the drama, the inner world of the characters, of which there are quite a lot on the screen. Despite the abundance of characters, the viewer will be quite able to feel the experiences of one or another hero, immersing himself in their stories.
There are really a lot of characters. Many of them are already well known to the audience and will appear on the screen in a limited time frame so that the audience remembers them and rejoices at their appearance. Other protagonists will be revealed more thoroughly. For example, Wolverine has already had so much screen time in past films, both general and personal, that you seem to know everything about him. However, Jackman presents his Logan in such a multifaceted way that you don't get tired of watching the hero, and his life is still interesting to the viewer. The young versions of the beloved and well-known Charles Xavier and Eric Lansher are also perfectly revealed. James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender play their roles perfectly, making the characters even more interesting. Other performers are also good, among whom I would single out Nicholas Hoult, Jennifer Lawrence, Lucas Till, as well as franchise veterans: Halle Berry, Sean Ashmore, Anna Paquin and Elliot Page.
The painting is inspiring. Its scale, its drama, its history. "Days of Future Past" is created with respect to all the characters and the history of mutants in general. The film successfully connects the past and the present of the story, predicting an interesting continuation of the adventures of mutants.
