Times are dim for Charles and his fellow mutants. The time of the Sentinels is upon us and death is eminent. The only way mutants can be saved is for Wolverine to go back in time to where it all began. You see, the Sentinels were created because man feared mutants due to several events, so all Wolverine needs to do is prevent a few things from happening, and boom, all is well in the mutant world........yeah, not as easy as it sounds.
Wolverine's task is tricky, Charles' younger self is wise, but hard to convince. Young Professor X is beside himself as he is grappling with his mutation. He sees and feels everything other mutants experience and it is all too painful. But his powers are needed in order to prevent the implementation of the Sentinels. Wolverine must also help Charles and Erik (later known as Magneto) work together which doesn't come easy.
It is a brutal struggle to make sure Erik and Charles work together and Raven doesn't make this easy. Raven and Erik view mutant life different than Charles' peaceful approach. It's hard for them to forgive the mistreatment they receive and if it were up to them, they would be the dominant species. To make matters worse, Wolverine's well-being is on the line, his body in the future endures some extreme scenarios that make you question if he is going to make it.
In the end, Magneto surprises all and potentially causes a darker future than what already existed. I'll leave you with that so you can see for yourself what happens.
This film was awesome. I honestly think my favorite version of Professor X and Magneto is when they are younger. The experiences they go through give their future characters so much depth. As much as I love Professor X, Magneto's passion and for who he is as well as the dark past he holds make his actions understandable. The complicated Raven who only ever wanted to be loved and accepted in addition to Magneto and Charles make for one epic tale.
