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.

Those were fake.
>>69641897
are you sure? I´m pretty sure its her

Jesus can't Eric catch a break?
>the astral plane
What the fuck is this?
>Storm betrays Apocalypse because Apoc isn't paying enough attention to her
That sounds incredibly shitty.
>mfw SJWs will probably praise this film because of JLaw but miss this POC female needing a man's validation to stay loyal
Top fucking kek
>>69641897
listen faggot if you were actually an anon you would know why that's not true
>>69641084
>stryker still has his blood even if mystique was the one who picked him up at the end of the last movie
i thought wolverine didnt have his adamantium any more?
>>69643099
nvm im fucking retarded
Watching this just for The Fass, McAvoy, Oscar Isaac, and Sad-fu.
It's shame that J Law will have more screentime than all of them though.
>>69641021
>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.
So, fuck Angel then, huh? Shame, he was one of my favorites growing up. Also, both Mystique and Magneto being good guys at the end of this trilogy sounds weaksauce as shit.
woah, it's shit.
>>69640889
>Mystique is investigating
dropped
>No mention of Psylocke or Jubilee being killed off like most have said
Good. Good.
Shame about Havok. Lucas Till is adorable. Saw that coming though.
Why does Erik decide to start a family after the event in DoFP anyway? He could've build an army consisting of mutants who admire him.
>>69644426
>who admire him.
He is been humiliated a bit m8.
Awful thread
for a
Awful movie
>>69643980
It's also stupid as shit, since the next villain is apparently Mr. Sinister, and his whole schick is his obsession with the Summers bloodline. With Havok dead, now Cyclops is the only relevant Summers boy.
If they just needed to kill somebody to add dramatic weight, they should've just killed off Memesilver's cringy ass.
What a fucking horrible idea to have Mystique be the main character just so they can cash in on JLaws popularity one last time. Sounds like the movie would've worked fine without her at all.
>69643980
>Implying having all your scenes cut and never appearing in the franchise again isn't a fate worse than death.
>>69644624
>they should've just killed off Memesilver's
How, with a bullet, that will be retarded. Oh wait...
Saw it this morning, ask me anything.
>>69642258
One of the cardinal rules of Marvel is that Magneto cannot catch a break. It's right up there with "Spider-Man must suffer".
Does Jubilee at least have a speaking role? Or is she now 4/4 for being completely wasted?

Such a lust for advanced biotechnology.
>>69644834
Is it really as bad as the reviews say it is. It from the OP it sounds like they are trying to do wayyyy too much.
>>69645622
It's not even that bad, it's just really bland.
>>69646032
Damn, that's even worse.
>>69645331
I think it's just one line. All her other scenes are apparently cut, including the mall scene which I think would have been better to keep than watching ROTJ.
>>69641021

>Archangel also survives, but with a horribly mangled body.
so... he's useless? Again? does it look like he might comeback somehow, or is he done?
>>69646529
All to make room for more Fatniss, no doubt
Such a shame
How was meme girl and the top of her head?
>>69647504
Surprisingly young Jean, Scott and Nightcrawler are some of the better things in the movie.
Mystique is suppose to be magneto's bitch wtf is going on?
X-Men hasn't been good since X2.
>>69647130
Nothing is impossible.
