X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST (Mutant Extinction, Unstoppable Sentinels + Ending) EXPLAINED

They did a fantastic job making the Sentinels terrifying. Imagine training your whole life as a mutant, mastering your powers for combat, only for a Sentinel to adapt to your mutation instantly and delete you with minimal effort...

[@LegendaryDarkKnight602]

I like the scene when one of the Nimrods tried to kill the portal girl, turns around and thrusts his javelin arm through the portal right before it closed, stabbing her in the back. That kind of adaptation didn't need powers.

The Rogue Cut is extraordinary! I love the extended edition of the movie, giving us more background on what happened to Rogue, and how she helps her friends save the world.

[@FernandoMartinez-pv1id]

I like the original better. Mainly because Bobby is the last person to die before everything is reset and you can feel how heartbroken and hipeless Kitty Pride is as she watches him. The Rogue Cut felt forced.

[@Michaelkayslay]

Haven't seen rogue cut. What was the rogue story part?

[@FernandoMartinez-pv1id]

@Michaelkayslay Rogue is in it to take over for Kitty Pride. Bobby dies earlier which was a terrible idea, then Rogue and Kitty are the last ones in the room before Wolverine finishes his mission.

[@whitleypedia]

The Sentinels are using Rogue's powers not Mystiques, but Jennifer Lawrence was a bigger actress at the time.

[@jaed3183]

It could’ve been more but the added scene of Wolverine and Storm showing love and kissing 🥹🥹🥹

[@rogueascendant6611]

This is probably the best rendition version of Sentinels I've ever seen than the animated Wolverine and X-Men (2009). The way this mechanical abominations adapt so quickly to counter their target is jaw dropping. They are 100x worse than the Terminators as humanity wouldn't have a fighting chance against this kind of machines. Mutants at least can only prolong their survival but not for a very long time.

[@jermaine8573]

I will agree Days Future Past was probably hands down the very best X-Men movie period with X2-United easily as close 2nd , them dam sentinels were terrifying

what's also terrifying about these sentinels is that they started hunting humans too at some point , humans that could have x gene in the future or offsprings. it's basically Skynet all over again lol

It makes sense though... he's super tough and he's super strong but he's no Hulk or one of those similar physical power houses. Only the very most powerful mutants even have a chance against these advanced Sentinels and force isn't the way to do it.

[@Haspei7]

I remembered leaving the theater with my friends after watching the movie and one of them asked me: "So what do you think of the movie?". I said: "It's probably the best x-men movie ever made until now". Then another friend asked me: "why?". I said: "Because it felt like watching a long episode from TAS". Then another friend said that x-men 2 was still better.🤔

We went from this to Apocalypse, and then Dark Phoenix. WTF?! How could you fumble so badly?!

[@F_Around_and_find_out]

I grew up knowing X-Men through live action films. This and Logan are my top 2 that stood above the rest. One is about altering a grim future, one is about decay and eventually death in a world that doesn't need X-Men.

[@robertagu5533]

I loosely remember this arc or anything having to do with Sentinels and/or the future in the ole cartoon show as being some the overall best an coolest arcs in the x-men franchise. Its like an alternate apocalypse scenario in this particular arc except Logan didn't cause this one and might be its only savior ... no pressure, Logan cant seem to catch a break. Poor X-men too, seems one wouldnt want to have powers AND be an X-men faction member too given in these later/latest arcs an stories have a pretty high mortality rate an by the end even in the best timelines for the x-men apparently had decimated mortality rates.

Whom are hinted at in enough of them that they tend to take quite a few casualties over the years. Between 1st class an "the end" which changed whom knows how many times now.

[@Lordship1021]

Magneto could’ve saved his race by just taking over the sentinels and instead of invading with them, make it look like they malfunctioned and targeted humans so that the project never makes it off the ground

[@TheRealReVeLaTioN]

Around 1:50 So when Wolverine asked what if someone could heal their mind as quick as it’s being torn apart, he meant brain instead of mind? Or is the mind a physical attribute? I remember the movie specifically stating how sending someone back that far in time would rip their minds to shreds (I guess you can say pun intended). Matter of fact, the movie says absolutely nothing about the process having any kind of toll on the physical body (considering it’s not the physical body being sent back in time). Don’t mind me, I’ve always thought that didn’t make sense in this movie because if Wolverine’s mind could heal like his body does he wouldn’t have needed Professor X to help him regain his memories that were lost due to William Stryker.

[@The_whimsickal_artist]

I love the X-Men..since i was a young. Days of Future past is one of my favourite stories from Claremont and Byrne. This film was absolutely brilliant in every way...the rogue cut was perfect. Except for the film Logan, this film caused a lot of unwanted anxiety in me😅 the sentinels were frightening. I still think they were way to over powered.. to adapt to any mutant threat...a robot who won't or can't die seems to much.. sunspot alone should have destroyed them, i mean he has the power of the sun. But i get it, its easier to go back in time to stop this whole thing. Still a great film. Xmen 97 is really awesome. I can't wait for season 2. I thought rogues power would make sense for the sentinels to adapt. Raven can just mimic,but am i missing something with Raven? Can she mimic powers as well? Good video mate, 👍🏻 nice one, cheers.

More people need to do an in depth analysis of this superhero masterpiece. I really have my doubts that Bryan Singer made this movie so great. I strongly believe that he used the beautifully detailed storyboards by James Cameron. There are a lot of visual tropes that make Cameron films so timeless. Look at Jack The Giant Killer and Superman Returns next to this near perfect movie. The difference compared to Days of Future Past is like night and day. X-Men Days of Future Past is way better and far more powerful than the source material IMO. Even the title makes more sense. In my opinion, Days of Future Past is Infinity War and Endgame for grownups.

[@CeeDoubleU]

Another banger ❤

[@Adarkane325xi]

The movie is really a masterpiece, and remains one of my favorites. It’s because the film actually has stakes. It has the Mega-Happy Ending (Wayne’s World), but the characters have earned it. The top Superhero films used to be “Superman: The Movie,” Tobey’s “Spiderman 2,” and “The Dark Knight,” but “Days of Future Past” has to be included in that list. Plus “Infinity War” and “End Game” - which is basically one 6hr movie (characters being at their lowest - Act 2 - at the end of IW and the beginning of EG).

@@romethechampion6224 To me, that wouldve bogged the movie down with subplots. After Lord of the Rings, people dont seem to appreciate how important pacing is. That's one of the many reasons why Casablanca has endured over the years. It's simple in tone and atmosphere. Everything is leading to one conclusion: Getting Ilsa out of Casablanca and defeating the enemy. The movie moves like gangbusters as they say and that makes a great, timeless movie-going experience. That's what I see in theatrical cut of Days of Future Past. That's why I can't get behind the Rogue Cut. They set up Beast and Mystique but they never do anything with it. That's an unnecessary subplot. It's pointless melodrama. That bogs the movie down after the first viewing
