X-Men Days Of Future Past 4K UHD [Blu-ray] [2014] - Region B UAE

Nel futuro l'astio degli umani verso i mutanti è sfociato in una grande guerra che ha portato l'homo sapiens a vincere grazie a delle Sentinelle robotiche tre volte grandi rispetto a un uomo normale, costruite con il DNA di tutti i mutanti e sopratutto con quello di Mystica. Le Sentinelle sono creature progettate al fine di distruggere qualunque mutante e incarcerarlo nei campi di concentramento istituiti a Central Park. Nel passato (dieci anni dopo gli eventi del First Class), Mystica uccise Boliviar Trask, inventore delle Sentinelle, colpevole della morte di quasi tutti i mutanti visti in precedenza (Emma Frost, Azazel, Angel, ecc.) dai quali ha prelevato il DNA dopo aver fatto i suoi macabri esperimenti. Subito dopo l'assassinio Mystica viene catturata e martoriata, anche lei sottoposta a esperimenti scientifici estremamente violenti alla fine dei quali i suoi geni vengono prelevati. In un qualche modo scappa prima di essere uccisa ed hanno luogo gli eventi descritti nei primi film sugli X-Men. Per sventare la guerra e la deportazione dei mutanti, Wolverine viene mandato nel passato da Kitty Pride, la quale sembra aver scoperto un nuovo potere ovvero quello di poter spedire le coscienze delle persone nel passato per un lasso di tempo limitato. Così Wolverine negli anni 70 deve trovare il modo di riunire gli X-Men, convincere Charles e Magneto a collaborare e impedire a Mystica di uccidere Boliviar, quest'ultimo evento viene considerato la causa principale del futuro distopico creatosi successivamente. E' una storia densa che raccoglie tanti aspetti che caratterizzano la fantascienza contemporanea come i viaggi nel tempo e la mutazione. Tornano anche i temi filosofici che caratterizzano la serie come quello sulla diversità e non mancano effetti speciali magnifici. Oltretutto vediamo nuovi mutanti su entrambe le linee temporali, Blink, Alfiere e tanti altri sul futuro, Pietro Maximoff (Quicksilver) sul passato. E' un capolavoro senza dubbio quello che prosegue la nuova trilogia basata sul passato e lo consiglio a tutti gli appassionati di X-Men ma anche a tutto il resto per il semplice fatto che, a mio parere, è una perla del cinema contemporaneo. Sono già in trepidazione per il prossimo capitolo: X-Men Apocalypse.

This will be free of the spoilers so fear not. The "Intelligent Blockbuster" as they say has a new addition to the list. Ramping up both the Mutants as "pick-a-minority" allegory / metaphor, AND the action & effects, the film manages to make spectacular use of two amazing casts in a way that, for example, The Amazing Spider-man 2, failed to do with just one. As producer of X-Men: First Class, Bryan Singer folded the Origins Magneto script into that film, which is why that film often plays like his Origin story. As director of Days of Future Past he's made a film that could described as Origins Professor X & Mystique: as Wolverine tries to drag Charles Xavier into his position as founder and soul of the X-Men, whilst, Young Magneto& Charles compete to see whether we will end up with Raven or Mystique by the end of the film. The future of the human race also happens to hang on her path. The impression you may have gotten from the trailers is that in adapting one of the comic book industry's most famous stories the film would start in our near future and then switch to the past think again. The film masterfully switches the action back and forth between 1973 and the future, largely because the method of time travel means that those in the future remain connected, in real time, to poor old/young Wolverine as he struggles not only to change history for the better, but to undo the damage that is being caused simply because he is there and giving people knowledge of the future. What pays off here for 20th Century Fox is what paid off for Marvel in their Avengers Universe, excellent casting of the separate films. So here we get the return of the peerless Sirs Patrick Stewart & Ian McKellen, & Hugh Jackman, et al alongside the quite superb Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, Nicholas Hoult and Jennifer Lawrence. Both past and future sets of X-Men are a joy to watch seeing their differences and similarities in the same film is a real plus. Of the new additions Fan Bingbing's Blink is the best realised and the way her powers are used gives the White house attack by Nightcrawler at the start of X-Men 2 a real run for its money. Speaking of running, American Horror Story's Evan Peters' turn as Quicksilver is extremely memorable and I think Joss Whedon maybe watching this film and wondering if the Marvel Cinematic Universe's version of Quicksilver in Avenger: Age of Ultron (and the end of Captain America: The Winter Soldier) will stack up; I promise you the Quicksilver prison break scene will be many people's favourite part of this film! Peter Dinklage is, as always, excellent, with his character another in that long list of people whose vision of a peaceful future for mankind includes squashing segments of society he doesn't care for. Like Stalin & Co he doesn't do evil laughs, because he truly sees himself as a hero Good news If you hated X-Men Origins Wolverine, as this film pretty much seems to rubber stamp the consigning of that to a "What If" story, in other words it never really happened. Bad News, If you loved X-Men Origins Wolverine as this film pretty much seems to rubber stamp the consigning of that to a "What If" story, in other words it never really happened. If you are one of those people than runs out as soon the first words appear at the end of a film (Shame on you) then you need to make sure you hang around until the very end here as the X-Men's biggest nemesis (no it is not Magneto) makes a very regal appearance 1-2-3... It's been interesting so far in 2014 as with 5 Super hero films due this year (Captain America 2, Amazing Spider-man 2, X-Men, Guardians of The Galaxy & Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) we had one of the best ever in the MCU elevating Captain America: The Winter Soldier gave invasion of Privacy, Edward Snowden & political thrillers the Super Hero treatment. This was followed by a firm reminder of why so many comic book fans wish Sony would just let Spider-man die and return to Marvel Studios, with a duller than dishwater sequel to an already average film. Well X-Men Days of Future past, may upset those same comic book fans as Fox look to have secured their rights to Marvel's X-Men for some time to come, with their best Super hero film yet and, for my money, one of the top 5 Super hero films ever made. Over to you Guardians of The Galaxy...

classico film X-men, per me il più bello della saga

Très bon film. Très bonne qualité.
