Overview
The X-Men are forced to confront an ancient mutant called Apocalypse (Oscar Isaac) in this comic-book adventure set in the 1980s. Eager to take over the world and remake it in his own image, Apocalypse recruits mutants to act as his powerful "Four Horsemen" -- among them is the tortured Magneto (Michael Fassbender), who believes humanity might be a lost cause after a personal tragedy. In time, Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) and his charges must work together to save the planet from this threat. New additions to this X-Men team include the elusive Nightcrawler (Kodi Smit-McPhee), fiery Cyclops (Tye Sheridan), and telepathically gifted Jean Grey (Sophie Turner). Rose Byrne, Jennifer Lawrence, and Olivia Munn co-star.

Movie Reviews
Reviews:
"A gallery of mutants from generations old and new is spread across Marvel’s hyperactive and excitable new X-MEN movie....This film certainly provides bangs for your buck..." - 05/09/2016 The Guardian
"Singer shows a lot of energy....Even covered in makeup and headgear, Isaac -- like Tom Hardy in THE DARK KNIGHT RISES -- shows what a virtuoso actor can do with his hands metaphorically tied behind his back." - 05/24/2016 Rolling Stone
3 stars out of 5 -- "Directed by Bryan Singer, the franchise’s trusted leader, APOCALYPSE doesn’t lack ambition, pitting the superteam against their biggest opponent yet." - 05/24/2016 Total Film
