The film is more complex than past films because of the time-travel narrative.

вЂњDays of Future PastвЂќ has a lot going on at the same time вЂ“ being attentive is very important for X-Men veterans and newbies. McAvoy excelled in delivering a dramatic heart-wrenching performance that anyone who has ever experienced disappointment, heartbreak or lost something they cared about can relate with.ДЄlthough the plot is constantly changing, those who are not familiar with the X-Men trilogies will be able to catch on to the two stories. We get to see Charles before he was Professor X, as disillusioned, lacking the confidence and motivation needed to save the mutans. James McAvoyвЂ™s performance as a young Charles Xavier really stood out. WolverineвЂ™s mission connects Bryan SingerвЂ™s original вЂњX-MenвЂќ cast with the stars in вЂњFirst Class.вЂќ Wolverine is daunted with the task of completing the mission in the past before Kitty has to release his mind in the present. вЂњDays of Future PastвЂќ spends more time in the past, and at some points one may get lost recognizing whether the X-Men are in the future or the present. However, WolverineвЂ™s greatest challenge is convincing X-Men in the past that he was sent from the future. Wolverine is sent to 1973 to stop Mystique from making a fatal decision. Raven is projected as the downfall of the X-Men in the future because of her actions in the past. Her DNA is used to create Trask Sentinels that change to adapt to any mutantвЂ™s powers to defeat them. Raven/Mystique is captured in 1973, and seized by the government. The film goes back to 1973, before the characters were Professor X, Magneto and Mystique. Kitty sends WolverineвЂ™s mind back in time to his younger body, to convince young Charles Xavier (James McAvoy, вЂњX-Men: First ClassвЂќ) and Erik Lensherr (Michael Fassbender, вЂњ12 Years A SlaveвЂќ) to become allies and stop Raven (Jennifer Lawrence, вЂњAmerican HustleвЂќ) from making a decision that would wipe out the mutant species in the future. Kitty Pryde (Ellen Page, вЂњJunoвЂќ) has the ability to send someoneвЂ™s consciences back in time to their younger self.

Professor X (Patrick Stewart, вЂњX-Men: The Last StandвЂќ) uses his powers to watch the death of mutants, saying вЂњso few of us left.вЂќ In an attempt to change history, the X-Men send Wolverine (Hugh Jackman, вЂњLes MiserablesвЂќ) to the past to prevent an event that results in the doom of humans and mutants. The film begins in the future, where an infinite number of mechanical robot fighters known as Sentinels have taken over, bringing mutants to near extinction.
