Storyline
Since the dawn of civilization, he was worshipped as a God. Apocalypse,
the first and most powerful mutant from Marvel's X-Men universe, amassed
the powers of many other mutants, becoming immortal and invincible.
Upon awakening after thousands of years, he is disillusioned with the
world as he finds it and recruits a team of powerful mutants, including a
disheartened Magneto, to cleanse mankind and create a new world order,
over which he will reign. As the fate of the Earth hangs in the balance,
Raven with the help of Professor X must lead a team of young X-Men to
stop their greatest nemesis and save mankind from complete destruction.

Charles Xavier: Mutants: born with extraordinary abilities, and yet still, they are children stumbling in the dark, searching for guidance. A gift can often be a curse. Give someone wings, and they may fly too close to the sun. Give them the power of prophecy, and they may live in fear of the future. Give them the greatest gift of all, powers beyond imagination, and they may think they are meant to rule the world.

Trivia
Despite having a small cameo at the end of X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014), Famke Janssen expressed her disappointment about not being asked to appear in this movie. She said she would have loved to appear alongside Sophie Turner in a scene with two Jean Greys. See more »Goofs
As Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi was released in May of 1983, Jean's comment regarding poor third films predates most famously weak third films which would later establish the trend. While not excused, is this at least explained in the "Easter egg"-nature of this scene, since it's a reflection to the X-Men-Series itself (with "X-Men: The Last Stand" as fatal finale of the trilogy) See more »Quotes

Entertaining, but inconsistent sequel in the X-Men series...
The first X-Men trilogy
was weirdly obsessed with Wolverine, and by extension Rouge. I never
understood why... This new trilogy is obsessed with Mystique just
because America's sweetheart Jennifer Lawrence is portraying her. I
don't mind it, but Mystique is no hero, she is a devious villain! And
Beast should be well a Beast, but a handsome Nicholas Hoult is better to
look at I presume. Storm is not a villain, she is a beloved X-Men
character that has never been done justice. These are things that enrage
fans over and over again.
It is not about being a purist, but about honoring the original. In an age where superheros are invading our cinemas, one could do worse if one watches a film about hope and freedom, about homophobia, racism, bigotry, immigration and all sort of other social issues. And somehow none of the X-men films so far have successfully brought these themes to the screen.
This film suffers from having to focus on thousands of characters and locations. Some characters like Mystique and Magneto are given substantial screen time, while others such as Psylocke are given only a few scenes. The film also tries to fit into the overall X-Men continuity, while trying to stand up on its own.
A great film for a pop-corn viewing with your friends, but a sub-par X-Men film in general... It is sad that the most substantial superheroes of our age, that really have something to say about the world we live in, are treated as badly as this...
Mutant and proud? Unfortunately there is nothing to be proud of expect the money the film is about to make.
