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

- The X-Men saga, encompassing everything from the standalone Wolverine flicks to the ensemble blockbusters, has been a rollercoaster of cinematic triumphs and letdowns. Just a couple of years after a franchise reboot introduced a new era for the beloved mutants, "X-Men: Days of Future Past" arrived, blending elements from the original and rebooted series in a daring crossover that could have easily nosedived into disaster.
Fortunately, the gamble paid off spectacularly, launching what is arguably one of the franchise's crowning achievements. Directed by Bryan Singer, the mastermind behind the original X-Men films, the film is loosely based on the comic book storyline by Chris Claremont and John Byrne, from a script penned by Simon Kinberg, Jane Goldman and Matthew Vaughn.
Boasting an all-star ensemble, including but not limited to Hugh Jackman, James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Peter Dinklage, Ian McKellen, and Patrick Stewart, the film interweaves two distinct time periods. In a bleak future, mutants and their human allies face annihilation at the hands of formidable robots called Sentinels, leading to a desperate gathering of key X-men. Here, Xavier reveals a pivotal moment in 1973: the capture of Mystique’s DNA following her assassination of Dr. Bolivar Trask, the Sentinels' creator. This event led to the creation of the seemingly invincible Sentinels that have either imprisoned or wiped out the majority of mutants and their human allies.
With the world at its end, Xavier proposes a daring plan to alter history and avert this grim future. Utilizing Kitty Pryde’s unique ability, they aim to send someone back to 1973 to unite the younger Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr. Their mission is to persuade Mystique to abandon her fatal plan, and Wolverine emerges as the only one capable of enduring the physical toll of time travel. The critical question looms: Can Wolverine successfully intervene in the past, halt the Sentinel Program, and thereby save mutants and their human allies from obliteration. Or is this future doomed to repeat itself? In this video, we’re gonna explore the comic series, the film, take a look at the characters, explore the rogue cut of the movie, in addition to the meaning of its ending and how the film fits in the X-men continuity.

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...
You just described why writers/actors and artists hate ai. 😂
@@donsolo7860 well maybe most of them need to actually get some skills to deserve the pay they want. Instead of just using their “art” to shove their politics down peoples throats.
The way they Killed Bobby Drake was so freakin painful.
@@scionixx9568politics? LMAO, Americans really have that shit 24/7 in their heads.
Sad.
This is basically going to happen to everyone in the stem field within the next 15 years.
This was the first and only X MEN movie to be nominated for Best Visual Effects.
It made $746 million dollars against a $200 million dollar budget.
It's one of the best films ever made in the franchise!
*In the genre
It was the best x-men movie ever.
It's the Godfather Part 2 of superhero movies. A veritable masterpiece which bridges the two timelines continuity brilliantly.
Yea this movie was fkn fantastic
Quicksilver was a beast and deserved more screen time
He is so OP!
@filmcomicsexplained there wouldn't have been a 3rd act because he would have taken the helmet in an instant from Eric 🤔😏
Yessir speedsters are the best and that mansion scene from Apocalypse was insane!!!
@@filmcomicsexplained
Michael definitely channeled Sir Ian McClellan's magneto voice when he snapped on Charles on the airplane even says Charles exactly like him
The real quicksilver is Aaron Taylor Johnson! Peters sucked.
The opening fight scene was the best show of team coordination in a Marvel movie. And they barely held the Sentinels off.
I love the opening scene, the sentinels were absolutely terrifying!
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.
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.
Haven't seen rogue cut. What was the rogue story part?
@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.
The Sentinels are using Rogue's powers not Mystiques, but Jennifer Lawrence was a bigger actress at the time.
It could’ve been more but the added scene of Wolverine and Storm showing love and kissing 🥹🥹🥹
I wonder how the Sentinels would adapt to luck.
A bad luck field. Like black cats power
Considering they just use the opposite of whatever power they are facing you can guess what they might do
Well. Donino was among those killed, so I would assume they had a way.
not really, they mimiced some of the powers. There are powers that they cannot mimiced
@jackolantern147 is this an assumption or is it noted in the list of dead mutants?
I wonder what JFKs mutant ability was definitely not regeneration or invulnerability
Seeing how he was in constant pain I assume a blood mutation, maybe able to manipulate blood in people and himself into weapons but it makes him ill constantly
@@Chuck_ELHe was a blood bender?
@@Chuck_ELI was always under the impression that his powers were similar to attract the opposite sex. It's common knowledge that JFK was quite the womanizer & had a few affairs so my theory is that's what his powers were 😅
😂😂😂😂
@@arrownoirAIDS?
MY DUDE MAGNETO LIFTING THE WHOLE STADIUM AND REPROGRAMMED THE SENTINELS AT THE SAME TIME.
Not exactly reprogrammed them. He puts steel inside of the past Sentinels to gain control over them.
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
First Class was pretty amazing too. It wasnt perfect, no X-Men film is.
Probably hands down the very best?
Nah, First Class beats both of them
We went from this to Apocalypse, and then Dark Phoenix.
WTF?! How could you fumble so badly?!
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
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.
The only problem with the film is Rogue being cut. The sentinels were using HER powers not Mystique's.
it was a mix of both, Rogue with the powers, Mystique with the physical
That made no sense... They kinda use Darwin's powers.
Well, the three have different basic properties, Rogue is absorption, Mystique is mimicry while Darwin is super adaptive... Seems like the future Sentinels are literally combinations of the three...
Seeing colossus get bodied like never sat right with me😂
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.
Really loved this movie. Best Magneto speech in live action.. The sentinel threat in the future was beautifully paired with the past .. Loved also how they brought in previous actors..
Also gotta say how I love seeing not as famous mutants such as Bishop, Blink and Warpath
This movie is one of the best superhero films out there.
I love how Magneto was doing everything that he could to avert sentinel futuristic threat. He was ruthless and smart asf.
The fact I literally jus finished watching this movie and look a video up about it and you just posted this means something. What a coincidence
They made Sentinels absolutely terrifying. I wish the MCU did the same with Ultron, but he was just a joke.
Yeah like I was commenting earlier they were vicious in the film
This was my thought when I watched the Ultron Trailer then the movie happened
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
Exactly Magneto could pull that off
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.🤔
Get rid of him
It’s almost as if people have different opinions and taste is subjective or something
It was absolute trash.
What destroyed the X-Men franchise is the trying to make Mystic a main/ relevant character.
I agree. Mystique is a straight up evil villain. And they changed her character just because Jennifer Lawrence was playing her. Who was America’s sweetheart at the time. I disliked how Cyclops took a back seat to her .
This was my favorite X-men story as a kid, and I was stoked and concerned when I heard this was coming out. I said many times it’d make a great X-men movie. We got lucky, they made it instead of some lame reboot or something, and I was not disappointed. Best X-men movie by far .
The beginning of this was good like the one with nightcrawler attacking the white house
This would make a good podcast. Have 3 guy take the side of the comic, movie and cartoon and debate which was better.
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.
Do you mean wolverine and the xmen?
@@kingofhearts3185 mostly. Though It's been years an years since the cartoons were running so there's a bit I forgot an scrambled not just with the movies. I do remember these arcs as being some the best, coolest, an typically the pre time travel parts an world before always being very bad for the X-men. 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.
Hands down the best X-Men film
Mystique= a shaoeshifter
Trask = weaponizes her power
Sentinels= Taskmaster, basically (or Protege if you are an OG GoTG comic fan)
Yep. Totally makes aense.
My favorite X-Men movie, happy knowing you're doing a video on it 😊
The sentinels were absolutely menacing
Happy you went back over this. I love days of futures past and to talk about it. The stakes were taken very serious with the sentinels it was almost a horror movie for mutants!
Edit: also quicksilver 😁
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.
@@user-ye4bu6xh4cyes so he needed professor X to open his back in time mind to his future memories.
@@user-ye4bu6xh4c
You're right even his brain heals wounds it's why he never had any brain damage after all the head injuries he's gotten from fights over the years
Nah, i remembered it as breaking your brain physically (nerve are physical part of your body).
Which is why even the greatest mind, xavier, wouldnt be able to handle the task since his body(brain) would broke
One of the greatest super hero movies ever made by far! A Masterpiece
Fantastic new X men days of future past video this X men movie was definitely a 💎
When Quicksilver was listening to "Time In A Bottle", it seems that it was played at 2,000x speed from his player...which is impossible.
CRAZY I literally just brought the Rogue edition Wednesday.
Lets gooo!
Would kill to fight these Sentinel Xs in a videogame: An unpredictable adaptable enemy makes a great challenge. Especially if the ai is top tier.
Those Sentinels are very OP
'A lot of horrible mistakes' Cue baraka-pool.
What i love is how well you tackle the overview without giving the whole thing away. While also having some wonderful snark.
This is by far the best X-men movie and among the greatest. Sadly, they screwed up with apocalypse and disney owns them now
Wow... i didnt know the rogue part was a separate cut. Learn something new everyday.
best X Men since the Cartoon.
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.
X-Men Days of Future/Past is one of best superhero movies in my book thank you FilmComicsExplained covering this and James Mangold The Wolverine in your channel keep up amazing work.
Best X-men movie!!!!!!!!!!!
I had no idea about the rogue cut. I loved this movie so much, I must see it.
Imagine if Magneto & Xavier went rogue together after taking control of all Sentinels, along with forming their own brotherhood. What would the future look like then?
Well . . .
Probably Genosha
@@neofulcrum5013 or Krakoa
Legion's dark dimension realm
We have Onslaught. That's both of them mixed.
Great video as always. I wouldn't mind seeing an in depth video on dark pheonix
this film accomplishes so many things so well
So I can only assume, and hope that the Apocalypse breakdown is next and soon. I sure hope so.
Beautifully well done❣😊
This was the most terrifying portrayal of the sentinels I’ve ever seen, honestly, really captured how much of a threat they were in this
Yeah I remember that comic book issue where that Sentinel blasted all the flash off of Wolverine.
And why no mention of how groundbreaking the Quicksilver bullet time scenes were??
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.
I watch ur videos high and enjoy it every time, keep up the amazing work
Bryan Singer did a good job coming back directing this movie
Even tho it's not too accurate still the besy X-Men movie to this day slightly Edging out X-2
Best*
If Cable manages to rescue this mutant timeline then it will be a huge leap also surprisingly Franklin Richards one of those powerful mutants died in the hands of Sentinels
Seeing Colossus get torn in half was awesome. Want to see another Marvel character get torn to shreds.
Seek help kid
This movie is what made my childhood favourite superpower change from shapeshifting to super speed, it has yet to change again
I remember that comic book series about the Legacy virus. I guess it was all about a metaphor for the AIDS virus.
as scary as those sentinels were they really had to nerf some of the omega level mutants for it to work best example being bobby, he is strong enough to create an instant new ice age which well would kill off everything on earth including sentinels.
Plus he can come back from death
Just been watching the naughty uploads of marvel movies recently and just had to come back here and rewatch your videos too 👌🎥🍿📺🎯🫶
This review/commentary is a Master’s piece in the TH-cam content creation format, and I think is your best work to date. Bravo!!
Most people say First Class or Logan is the Best, but for my Money, Days of Future Past. Those Sentinels were a major threat.
Merry Xmas Niyat, hope you have a wonderful day with your loved ones 🎄🎅
Thank you! Merry Xmas champ!! :)
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).
The sentinels were in it to win it. My only problem is them changing the plot point that makes sense in Rogue being the catalyst to Mystique.
Another great video! Thank you sir.
Super cool breakdown from one of the best and one of my favorite comicbook films ever!
Fun Fact: The Stadium that Magneto lifted in real life is called RFK Stadium in Washington, DC
Thanks for bringing up how the other marvel heroes were killed as well most people don’t bring up that fact
RIP SUNSPOT ❤😢
Great video Can you do Zilla,Giant Octopus,Maguma,Manda,Baragon,Gargantuas,Gezora,Ganimes,Kamoebas,Varan and Megaguirus/Meganulon from Toho,Hearts of Iron 4 and L.A. Noire
I loved this movie.
Days of future past is probably my favorite marvel movie next to Logan. Both had a tone than you don't find in modern Marvel movies often.
Pretty trippy story to follow when I wacthed it for the first time.
We need a game of “Days of Future Past”
Thanks for the video!! See you later!! Stay safe and Merry Christmas 🎄🎁😊
Days is in my top 5. It's brilliant on every level. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Top 3 X-men movie
Sunspot’s powers look so cool in the film
Its amazing how much the last 2 movies fell off. This one wasn't perfect but jt was solid. Good episode by the way
Explain how her ability to face through solid matter just evolve to be able to send a person’s consciousness back in time
bryan singer is genius
Kitty really can be one of the last alive. They can’t touch her
I recently rewatched it to get hyped for Deadpool 3 so I can’t wait to seee which fox X-men cameos will pop up.
Another banger ❤
I loved days of future past it shows how humans would actually react if mutanats exsisted. also I would Magneto is right the humans would be wise to destroy the mutants.
I would want to get some of their powers!!!
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.
by far the most gruesomely cool sentinels we have adapted to film
WTF didn't know the The Rogue Cut existed. Imagine paying the OG actor only to cut her out completely.
These things where one of the scariest villains we had in any superhero movie they legit felt unstoppable and with bad intentions 💀💀
Still haven't forgive them for putting Charles meeting past charles in the trailer.
Definitely do an X-men series, and other marble teams
The Best Sentinels
I literally was thinking about this movie 😮
This should be real interesting if you compare comic, cartoon and film adaptations. I look forward to the listen.
So Sentinels are basically limitless beings that capable to absorb, mimic, adapt and overcome literally any superpowers...
You didn't explain how mystic became stryker
