X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014)

Starring: Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, James McAvoy, Micael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Halle Berry, Ellen Page, Peter Dinklange, Evan Peters, Nicholas Hoult, Shawn Ashmore
Director: Bryan Singer

Premise:
The X-Men are fighting a losing battle against machines designed to kill mutants. In order to change the future, they send Wolverine back to the past where he united a young Professor Xavier and Magneto to stop Mystique from assassinating the man who designed the machines.

My Take:
I am a fan of all the X-Men flicks and this is no exception. It has everything the viewer has expected from the franchise. While always a danger when playing with going back in time the movie does a decent job of it. It will be interesting to see how the rest of the series play out with this new timeline.

Rating: So Good
