"X-MEN: APOCALYPSE" SPOILERS

Apocalypse (Oscar Isaac), the firstborn of the mutant race, rules the world in ancient Egypt, but is betrayed by his worshippers and entombed for centuries, while his followers, the Four Horsemen, are destroyed.

He is awakened in 1982 to learn that the world has forgotten him. Believing that without his presence humanity has grown weaker, Apocalypse decides to destroy it in order to rebuild society to his image, and sets to recruit four mutants to do his bidding.

His first recruit is Storm (Alexandra Shipp), a kindly pickpocket from Cairo. She worships Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence), who has become a revered figure in the mutant community for saving the President of the United States and ushering a new era of pacific coexistence between humans and mutants.

Mystique is investigating an underground fight club where mutants are forced to battle, and happens upon a fight between the champion, Angel (Ben Hardy), and newcomer Nightcrawler (Kodi Smith-McPhee), who gets the upper hand and and electrocutes Angel, leaving him injured. Mystique rescues Nightcrawler, while Apocalypse arrives to cure Angel, who is reborn as Archangel.

In New York City, Cyclops (Tye Sheridan) learns about his powers and is taken by his estranged older brother Havok (Lucas Till) to the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters to learn how to control them with Professor Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) and Beast (Nicholas Hoult). He is reluctant until he meets Xavier's protege, Jean Grey (Sophie Turner), who is likewise unable to control her powers, and the two develop a friendship.

Magneto (Michael Fassbender) is living in anonimity in Poland, where he has a wife and daughter. However, he is located by the authorities, and his family is slaughtered in the crossfire. An infuriated Magneto is later approached by Apocalypse and joins him.

Mystique arrives to alert Xavier about Apocalypse and bring Nightcrawler to the institute, and Quicksilver (Evan Peters) has been searching for his father, and decides to seek Xavier for help.

Xavier and Havok meet with Moira McTaggert (Rose Byrne) to find out more about Apocalypse, unaware that William Stryker (Josh Helman) is conspiring against them. Meanwhile, Magneto recruits another follower, Psylocke (Olivia Munn).

Cyclops, Jean, Nightcrawler and another student, Jubilee (Lana Candor) sneak out to go to the movie theater, while Xavier attempts to use Cerebro to locate Apocalypse, only for Apocalypse and his followers to attack the institute and kidnap Xavier. Apocalypse uses Cerebro to force the world leaders to launch Earth's entire nuclear arsenal into space so it can't be used against him. Havok is killed in an explosion while trying to rescue Xavier. The mansion is destroyed, but Quicksilver evacuates the entire student body from the collapsing building.

Stryker arrives and captures Quicksilver, Nightcrawler, Mystique and Moira under pretense they are behind the attack. They are taken to Stryker's Weapon X facility to be experimented upon, but Cyclops and Jean follow them.

Once inside, Jean senses Wolverine (Hugh Jackman), who has just been subjected to the Adamantium bonding procedure and is being brainwashed into becoming Stryker's weapon. She frees him, and Wolverine slaughters Stryker's soldiers, though Stryker escapes.

Jean shares a moment with Wolverine, easing his pain, and he escapes, while Cyclops and Jean free the prisoners and reunite with Beast. They locate Apocalypse and the Horsemen in Cairo and head there to stop them and rescue Xavier. They steal tactical flight suits from Stryker's base and head there in a new X-Jet built by Beast.

At Apocalypse's behest, Magneto uses his powers to cause widespread destruction across the planet. Apocalypse, meanwhile, confronts Xavier in the astral plane, intending to possess him, and they battle, during which Xavier loses his hair.

The X-Men arrive and battle the Horsemen. Mystique reaches out to Magneto and reminds him that the X-Men are his family too and that his wife and daughter wouldn't be spared in Apocalypse's purge. Magneto sees the error of his ways and helps the X-Men fight Apocalypse.

Apocalypse attacks Mystique, and seeing his disregard for her causes Storm to change sides as well. Realizing things are spiraling out of control, Psylocke and Archangel attempt to leave in the stolen X-Jet, but it is brought down by Nightcrawler. Psylocke survives the fall and escapes on her own, while Archangel also survives, but with a horribly mangled body.

While the assembled X-Men fight Apocalypse, Jean ventures into the astral plane and learns from Xavier that Apocalypse is weakened after centuries confined to one body. Together, the X-Men dismantle Apocalypse's armor, with Jean tapping into the Phoenix force and becoming enveloped in a firebird. Once Apocalypse's frail true form is exposed, Jean incinerates him.

Xavier realizes there will always be threats human and mutant alike that the world is defenseless against and decides to train his students to become the X-Men. He returns Moira's memories and they develop a relationship. Xavier and Magneto reaffirm their friendship and Magneto leaves on his own. Quicksilver and Storm join the team, and Quicksilver decides not to tell Magneto he's his son yet.

The X-Men - Cyclops, Jean, Beast, Mystique, Nightcrawler, Quicksilver and Storm - are given new uniforms by Xavier and prepare for a training session in the Danger Room, facing off against the Sentinels, while Xavier overlooks them, proud of what they've become.

In an after-credits scene, the abandoned Weapon X facility is infiltrated by a paramilitary team that begins retrieving all data regarding Stryker's research on mutants, including several samples of Wolverine's blood, on behalf of the Essex Corporation.

>a kindly pickpocket from Cairo
So, rob you and "carry on, have a good day"?

She steals from rich people to buy food for poor street orphans.

So... Aladdin.

Is Nightcrawler Mystique's son in this continuity?

Of course not

so jubilee just... disappears?

>they battle, during which Xavier loses his hair.
I kinda want to see this, just for the hell of it.

really, he couldn't just be balding. he has to tragically lose his hair in battle?

Does Sadfu have a good screen presence?

Also, are all of the clothes as ugly as the ones in the trailer? I get it's the 80's, but man.

Who?

She goes to the mall to play at the arcade, then a sentinel attacks. Gambit, Rouge, and Storm save her.

Moira.

Unless you were kidding with the "who?" because she doesn't appear much, which I'm expecting.

So...Mr.sinister and since I assume he won't be the only buyer we'll probably have X-23 sooner or later.

Bingo.

sound really, meh

Why spoiler it?

You can already read the summary on wikipedia

is this another timeline or does it follow after Days of Future Past ?

It's the altered timeline of DoFP.

Wolvie doesn't have his memories though. He won't get them back until the new timeline catches up with the old one which was what happened at the very end of DoFP.

how much Wolverine is in this movie? Is it worth it it I only care about Wolverine and Quicksilver?

but seriously Wolvie gets captured again and again and again btw Sentinels are back YASS !!! ( only in danger room right ? )

Looks like OP took the Wikipedia article, copypasta'd, and then reworded some things here and there to make it seem like he did the summary himself.

Wasn't Mystique supposed to rescue Logan instead of Jean according to post credit of last movie?

Holy shit, what a pathetic faggot.

Kek

This is being posted on Sup Forums since last week.

DOFP introduced the chance of saying goodbye to the old cast and approach, and start fresh with a new cast and a more personal story.

Give them proper costumes and tell the proper stories they have in the bank.

Nope, Angel's dead again, Jubille #1203 almost says 'hello', cyclops gets to be near Jean and Mystique, beast still isn't beast, Xavier is only bald by the third act, etc,etc,etc.

Fuck you too, FOX.

Since Origins all the movies (except The Wolverine) have been at least partially about setting up shit. Shit's getting boring, especially since they still somehow can't keep up with their own retcons and suspended plotlines, like how the idea of Mystique saving Logan from Weapon X has been apparently dropped

Where the fuck did they get this plot from? Because it's definitely not from the comics...

>Once inside, Jean senses Wolverine (Hugh Jackman), who has just been subjected to the Adamantium bonding procedure and is being brainwashed into becoming Stryker's weapon. She frees him, and Wolverine slaughters Stryker's soldiers, though Stryker escapes.
What the fuck? I thought this was supposed to be avoided at the end of Days of Future Past.

It's always one step forwards and one step back.

First Class was well received because it promised a new start. Then DoFP was kind of forgiven for being a goodbye to the old guys, but it promised a new start. Now Apocalypse promises a new start.

Enough already. Where's the X-Men movies? Sure, you can argue that the movies are ""better"" than comic-book movies for having interesting stories like DoFP, but DoFP was a mediocre time-travelling story to begin with. They need to stop something in the past and then they do. Woop-de-doo.

They had the right conditions 3 times, but it seems like it'll need to be the fourth. Which it won't.

Also, what's with the world-ending scenarios all the time? Kid Jean and Cykes fight fucking Apocalypse? When everyone was getting tired of the world-ending-wank that's been going on for years? They can't even read their own audience.

Magneto's stuff is basically Ultimatum

>Loses family, gets mad, alters the Earth's magnetic poles causing disasters all over the planet

>Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence), who has become a revered figure in the mutant community for saving the President of the United States and ushering a new era of pacific coexistence between humans and mutants.

this makes me so mad

>Mutant A stopping mutant B from doing evil thing creates peace for mutants

Apparently in the '70s people had a much more progressive line of thinking than in early 2000s!

She saved the President, it's a pretty big deal.

He recognizes her in the trailer.

I was actually mad about Mystique of all people being the postergirl of moderate mutants

Yeah me too, i just tought it was funny how in the old movies after saving the day multiple times the Xmen never got such a good reaction from people

Because she's famous.

>Get a wife and a child
>Loses them both
>Become evil
>In the end, leave on this own and alone

Being Magneto is suffering

pepe magneto or wojak magneto when?

>but it seems like it'll need to be the fourth. Which it won't.
They want to do X-Force and New Mutants at some point. We'll see how it goes.

>Kid Jean and Cykes fight fucking Apocalypse? When everyone was getting tired of the world-ending-wank that's been going on for years? They can't even read their own audience.
That's probably entirely on Singer.
He wanted that for X-Men 3 and somehow he still obsesses about that.

>DOFP introduced the chance of saying goodbye to the old cast and approach, and start fresh with a new cast and a more personal story.
Singer, man. With Apocalypse, he finished killing characters from First Class that he didn't introduced in old X-Men movies. Havok was the last one.
