X-Men: Apocalypse **

Bryan Singer directed this Action film. Watch Preview. Cast: James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Oscar Isaac, Nicholas Hoult, Rose Byrne, Tye Sheridan, Sophie Turner, Olivia Munn, Lucas Till, Evan Peters, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Alexandra Shipp, Josh Helman, Lana Condor, Ben Hardy. Rated PG-13 for sequences of violence, action and destruction, brief strong language and some suggestive images.Running time is two hours and twenty-four minutes.

As the fate of the Earth hangs in the balance, Raven (Jennifer Lawrence) with the help of Professor X (James McAvoy) leads a team of young X-Men to stop their greatest nemesis and save mankind from complete destruction.

Basically, this film takes some real Hollywood talent and puts them in a story that reminds me of the serials I used to see as a boy. The story is simplistic to a fault and since you know what the ending has to be there's not a bit of cinematic tension. On top of that it's grossly overly-long to the point I was continually checking my watch after about fifteen minutes. The special effects are good but not nearly good enough to overcome the pathetic plot. I did not see this in 3D so I cannot attest to its quality. It will probably do good business because teens will like it and can see it. But, adults should avoid this like the plague.

There is an additional scene after the credits begin. You want to see this on a large screen. 2D Theatres/Times. 3D Theatres/Times.
