Warning: This comment is a lot of spoilers. It is recommended to watch me after watching the movie.
In fact, the first clues have been seen from the previous trailers. In this episode, the mutants no longer talk about the love and hatred between X-men and the Brotherhood of Mutants. On the contrary, the theme of the film has returned to the broadest. The perspective: the war between humans and mutants. As early as the third part of the main song in 2006, the conflict has risen to this level, but the most powerful weapon of mankind that year was nothing more than a potion made with a child’s magical power to transform mutants. For ordinary people only (and the return of Magneto's ability shows that the efficacy of this medicine is only temporary). Finally, when the time comes to 2018, the vulnerable humans have slaughtered all the mutants. At the beginning of the film, groups of mutants who were escorted and executed and piles of corpses all explained the background of the time: This is the end of mutants, and they will disappear forever like those animals that once went extinct. There are only a handful of mutants appearing on the 2018 timeline: Professor X, Magneto, Uncle Wolf, Storm Girl, Phantom Cat, Iceman, Burning Man, Steel Warrior in the old trilogy, as well as the newly emerged Journeys, Bishop and Blink (Bingbing's ability to have a line for 10 minutes can be regarded as a very dick, after you show her humiliation~). The atmosphere was already very solemn from the rendering of the dark clouds in the sun at the beginning. The strangely shaped aircraft dropped the even more strangely shaped sentry robot from a high altitude. In the first contest, the three sentries wiped out the ice (fire). ) People, Steel Lux, Zhengtu and Bingbing (flashing). The Phantom Cat uses super powers to go round with the professor. It turns out that the mutants who died before were all in a more advanced time and space, so everyone is still alive in this time and space... ), the professor slowly explained the reason to Uncle Wolf: In 1970, Dr. Trask had been dedicated to researching sentinel robots for many years, and in the process, many mutants were killed and the devil girl finally got there for revenge. Nian successfully assassinated Trask, but she herself was captured by the government, which is also the root cause of the mutant’s near-destruction. Although Trask was killed, his research has yielded results. At that time, an old version of the sentinel robot had been created; and through the study of the captured magic girl’s genes, Trask Industries successfully transformed the magic girl at will. The genes of the form were applied to the sentinel robot, which finally produced the 2018 version of the sentinel-a killing machine that continuously changes itself according to the mutant's abilities to easily kill the mutant in seconds. In order to stop this war, Uncle Wolf must rely on his self-recovering body to travel back 50 years ago to change history and prevent
Returning to the timeline of the last century, Uncle Wolf traveled back to himself in 1970. In the past, he found Professor X in his youth, and with the help of the Beast and Kuaiyin, he rescued Magneto from the 100th floor under the Pentagon. (The young Magneto was arrested on suspicion of murdering Kennedy and kept underneath for nearly 10 years. Later in a conversation with the professor, he mentioned that Kennedy was also a mutant, and he failed to protect Kennedy and was mistaken for the murderer.) Finally When the witch was preparing to assassinate Trask again, the professor and his team prevented this historical event. But the story is far from over. The Devilish Girl did not give up the idea of assassinating Trask. At this time Magneto already had her own ideas and acted separately from Uncle Wolf and the professor. Seeing that time is running out, if the Majestic Girl can't completely give up the assassination, then history will repeat itself, and the mutants will still be unable to escape the bad luck of destruction. Even the young Professor X has a question: Maybe we don’t need to change history. Now, maybe history should be so, mutants are doomed to perish. In the end, all the clues led everyone to the same place: Washington, DC, where the fate of mutants is tied together.
In 1970, in Washington, after saving President Nixon, the Majestic Lady raised her gun and aimed at Trask behind the president.
In 2018, in a place in China, flying vehicles filled the sky like swarms of locusts. Although every mutant tried their best to get the last bit of time, when the storm girl was pierced by the sentry robot, she dropped into the valley like a broken kite; Dang Wu The man-breakable steel man was torn into two pieces; when the Magneto King faltered and escaped, even Professor X, who had always been in a mess, showed a sad expression. Who else can stop the mutant's demise?
The head of the sentry robot split strangely and turned into two petals. From the crack was a raging fire. Professor X stretched out his arm to block his face. Even if he was blown into dust by the Phoenix girl, Professor did not have a trace of fear, but At this moment, he subconsciously stretched out his hand.
Reverse the future? Or is history repeating itself? It all depends on the fact that the final devil's shot couldn't be fired.
2: Feelings. I have to say that this "reverse the future" has completely pushed the X-men series to a new level. Going back to the past and changing the destiny of mutants is a huge environment. Mutants are no longer fighting on their own, no longer entangled in the personal journey, but bringing everyone into this storyline. Unlike in the main song, whether the ending is right or wrong is only a partial story, and the ending of the reversal of the future is already related to each mutant. The atmosphere rendering of the film can be called god-level. In the future, the timeline will be full of buildings. The storm is about to come. The strange shape and terrifying ability of the sentry robot make me feel desperate as a viewer. Faced with such a machine, I am a mutant. Without a chance, how can the situation be reversed? And the fate of the last surviving mutant made my heart even more throaty; and in the past timeline, although time is tight, there are also some small scenes that can relax people a little while being nervous, such as Kuaiyin and X The professor puts skills together in the kitchen, or Xiao Wan's cold humor from time to time, can make people relax when they are nervous. The two-line narrative has always echoed each other, and has never been disconnected. When Xiao Wan lifted the stadium and moved it over the White House, Lao Wan tried his best to throw the plane between the swarms of sentry robots; and when the professor felt the scorching heat of the flames, the magic girl also made the final Choice. In the future, in the past, fate jumped between the two, and finally jumped out of a different ending.
3: Regarding some details on the timeline and my questions. The setting of going back to one's own body first avoids a lot of unnecessary troubles, such as the problem of two selves in the same period. But after watching the movie, I still have a lot of questions. If the witch was captured in 1970, how could she show various coquettish shows in the three main songs of 2000-2006? It can only be assumed that she later escaped and continued to follow Lao Wan. But there is another question. If Trask Industry had mastered the sentinel robot as early as 1970 and could use the Magus gene to make an upgraded version, why did it take so long to annihilate the mutants for almost half a century? However, if you think about it carefully, there are many time bugs in the comparison between the first battle of the year and the third part in 2006. Maybe this is also a flaw in the fly. I would like to ask the question about age again. Even if the Majestic Girl was 20 years old during the Cold War, there should be 60 in the main song, right? Even if the life expectancy of mutants is generally longer than that of ordinary people, the professors and Lao Wan after a few decades are still gray-haired? Why is the devil girl still agile, does she have an immortal body like Uncle Wolf? Even Uncle Wolf has a few more strands of white hair in this movie, but I feel that the Devil Girl has hardly seen an increase in age in the past few decades. It may also be because she is blue... The last little detail is Regarding "Uncle Wolf Prequel 2"
, do you remember the little robot in the shape of a spider lying on the heart of Uncle Wolf? Now think about the ability to deprive the self-healing ability of such a strong effect, I am afraid that only Trask Industry has the ability to create it. So in the end, it seems that the industrial giants supported by the government are the real top hunters.
4: Tucao. Just two points. The appearance of Fast Silver and the mainland version of Scissorhands. In the comics, Kuaiyin is the son of Magneto. In the movie, although he still has no friends, he has become a problem young man who is not much younger than Lao Wan... (Why do you make your dad love him?). Regarding the mainland release version which is 1min less than the original version, it is actually that the shot of Uncle Wolf showing his ass has been deleted...
5: Regarding the sentry robot.
I have watched all the X-men series movies, but I have never felt that anything can be so frightening. Its power is no longer overwhelming, but creepy. Even if you look at all the Marvel movies, nothing or villains can be so scary. The terrible thing about this killing machine is not only that you can hardly use any physical or magical attacks to destroy it, but what is even more terrifying is that although it stands up to the title of "sentinel robot", it is like a cold-blooded high-level hunter. Eaters are just as smart. The shape of this product itself is extremely weird. The first time I saw it, I felt it was very abnormal, its lethality was amazing, and it was almost invincible. I remember that the whole movie was in the melee battle of the 2018 Evolution Sentinel Robot. It seemed that none of the mutants were killed. I can only vaguely remember that Bishop detonated himself before his death, as if he took 3 of them by the way. When you see Storm Girl, Iceman, Burning Man, and Steel Lux, who are omnipotent and perform various shows in the main song, face these killing machines and can only die tragically, what can you expect? Woolen cloth? I think that in the movies I have seen, the only thing that resembles this sentinel robot in temperament is the Alien, but no matter how strong the Alien is, it can be killed. But what about this thing? If one day X-men can really appear together with the reunion, I really want to see how Tony Stark, who usually feels about himself and his good, can play against this stuff.
In short, Reversing the Future, as my most anticipated movie in the past year, did not disappoint me. If the full score is 10, I really think 9.5 is not an exaggeration. Last reminder, don't leave the reporter after the feature film is over, there will be a small easter egg at the end, although I don't understand what it means.
