X-MEN: APOCALYPSE. 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(Michael Fassbender), 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(Jennifer Lawrence) with the help of Professor X(James McAvoy) must lead a team of young X-Men to stop their greatest nemesis and save mankind from complete destruction.

Extra:
Age Appropriate For: 13+. Lots of characters die: crushed by rocks, decapitated, stabbed, trapped inside things, exploded, or slashed to pieces, and you see a good amount blood afterward and some corpses; other violence, including hand-to-hand combat and forced cage-fighting; infrequent cursing, including one use of the f-word; some nightmarish images of world-ending destruction; some romantic stuff, including mentions of past relationships between characters, a flashback of a kiss, and teenage crushes; some cleavage; a scene is set at Auschwitz and includes flashbacks to the Holocaust; and some familial issues, including parental abandonment.
The ‘X-Men’ franchise gets bigger with ‘Apocalypse, ’ which brings the mutants face-to-face with the end of the world. The acting is still excellent, but the story lacks any real sense of danger.
