X-men: Days of Future Past [4K Ultra HD] [4K UHD]

“Just because someone stumbles and loses their path, doesn't mean they're lost forever. Sometimes, we all need a little help.” These wise words stated by telepath Professor Charles Xavier in X-Men: Days of Future Past symbolize one of the main messages behind the superhero thriller: people can change for the better. In accordance with this theme, the blue, shape-shifting character known as Mystique, or Raven, undergoes a large transformation throughout the film. She acts as a rather misguided hero, not knowing that her actions, while seeming in the best interest of the mutant community, will lead to the demise of the X-Men in the future. In addition, her unique appearance also plays directly into her demeanor and reflects many aspects of her character. Mystique’s character is greatly influenced in the film through her interactions with other mutant characters and also reflected in her very symbolic facade.Whether for a good or evil cause, Mystique is always, “true blue.” Her relationships in the film, specifically with Charles Xavier (Professor X), represent her devotion to those around her. When around Charles, she always does what is in the best interest of everyone, humans and mutants alike. For the whole first half of the movie, however, she is without Charles’s guidance, thus following a darker path. When Charles finally reaches out to Mystique, she is deterred from killing mutant hater, Bolivar Trask. If she had followed through with her original plans and killed Trask, the sentinel program, which would exterminate all mutants, would not have been canceled and she would have been taken captive and tested on. Nearing the end of the film Charles states, “Raven, please do not make us the enemy today. You can show them a better path.” After hearing this, her true loyalty to Charles ultimately leads to her sparing Trask’s life and the cancellation of the sentinel program. During Mystique’s interactions with Charles, her mannerisms also prove her loyalty. When around him, she is mostly in her normal, blue appearance, and not disguised as another being, thus symbolizing that she is truly herself when with Charles. Her true nature is only hidden when near characters lead her to malevolent actions, such as Erik Lehnsherr (Magneto). She is only “true blue,” both literally and figuratively, when interacting with Professor X. While her physical contacts with others contributes to her demeanor, her outward appearance also very much reflects her character.While not the most appealing character to look at, the colors that are prominent in Mystique’s look, specifically blue, red, and yellow, are incredibly symbolic. The most noticeable of all of her colors is blue. Blue is known to represent trust and loyalty, in some cases, which are some of the main aspects of her character. As described earlier, Mystique is always faithful to one character or another, whether good or bad, so it makes sense that blue is the most blatant color in her appearance. Although blue takes up much of her body, it is not hard to recognize her fiery red hair. Red is known to symbolize passion and determination. This directly plays into her character, as she is passionate about saving the mutant race and determined to ensure that mutants will no longer be viciously murdered. Whether for a good or evil cause, her enthusiasm is always displayed and her hair is always, fittingly, scorching red. The final color, yellow, is not very noticeable, but it is found in her eyes. Yellow usually stands for fear or cowardice, and, while not the biggest aspects of Mystique’s character, they have a much deeper meaning. As she is acting as the leader in the fight against Trask, her fear is somewhat hidden. In accordance, the color yellow is hidden on her body, representing that while she has fear, it is not readily shown in her character. When Mystique is frightened by something, her eyes widen greatly, making the yellow more apparent on her body. For example, when she discovers Trask’s autopsy reports of her many mutant friends, her eyes bulge and she begins to cry. This, therefore, symbolizes her fear of the mass mutant death that could be caused by Trask’s program. While rather concealed, Mystique’s fear is more evident through her yellow eye color. Overall, the colors in Mystique’s appearance greatly reflect her personality and overall goals throughout the movie.Through her genuine loyalty to Charles and her very symbolic facade, Mystique largely represents the main theme of X-Men: Days of Future Past, that people can completely transform for the better. In the final seconds of the movie, Charles Xavier states, “Countless choices define our fate; each choice, each moment, a moment in the ripple of time. Enough ripple, and you change the tide for the future is never truly set.” In the film, Mystique’s choices are what defined the future for all of humanity. By sparing Trask’s life, her whole demeanor is changed and she sets humanity on a brighter path, rippling the tide of history and altering the future. By adding Mystique’s personal change to the film, Director Bryan Singer also alters the tide of the X-Men series, bringing back characters that were previously killed in other movies. Mystique’s character, therefore, not only changes for the better of those in the film, but also in real life, by fixing all of the problems that had previously taken place in other films in the series. In accordance with Xavier’s statement in the film, Mystique’s choices and transformation caused enough ripple to change two futures: the future of the individuals in the film and the future of Singer’s X-Men films as a whole.

I love almost all the X-Men Movies!

Came quickly and was in great shape.

This is a review about the product, not the movie itself which I think is great!! So I am going to say a few words about the extras included in this combo pack.Deleted scenes. A few scenes that have nothing interesting to add. No wonder why they were cut out from the film! I was really hoping to see Rogue's scenes that we all know about. Unfortunately there is nothing from her.Kitchen sequence. It should have been added to the gag reel. It is a complete waste of time unless you wan to see Jennifer Lawrence trying to get her scenes done but ultimately failing. This segment should have been split between deleted scenes and gag reel. I say this because we get to see Raven, Charles, Wolverine and Beast reunited back at the mansion's kitchen.Gag reel. We all know what that is.Double take: Xavier & Magneto. An interesting look at both characters, their young and elder versions. Last part is the most interesting, behind the scenes from the sequence where young Charles meets elder Charles in the future. To me that is a powerful scene between both actors and one of the best material from the extras.X-Men reunited: the original cast, the new cast and the filmmakers share their insights about the x-men films. I enjoyed listening the original cast talking about coming back after so long.Classification: M. Segment dedicated to the new mutants featured in the film's opening sequence. We get to see a bit about the visual effects and sound effects too. The finale is the most interesting though: we get to see how they filmed Quicksilver's slo-mo kitchen sequence.Centinels: for a secure future. An interesting look into the technical side of the centinels. Concept art, practical and CG models, visual effects... All of that.Gallery: trask industries. This one is really lame. There are 3 photo collections in this gallery, all of them are pretty small and have nothing interesting to add. These 3 are: Mutant Experiments (pictures like those Raven saw in Trask's office), Blueprints (from the sentinels), and Sentinel Construction (production stills from 70s sentinels).Theatrical trailers: 3 trailers from this movie, all of them really cool.Second screen app: First time I have ever downloaded this kind of stuff. I decided to give it a try because of the review, I loved it!! I did not have much expectations for it but here I got what was missing from the disc: new VFX behind the scenes, previs sequences, production stills and concept art (the most important to me!). The app also includes Cerebro, which is exactly the same that was included in First Class blu-ray. The app store description said it was updated but the characters from Days of future Past are not included in Cerebro. Still I recommend this app if you like to see behind the scenes content.Sneal Peek of Exodus: Gods and Kings. Includes a 90-second sneak peek wich is disapointing, I was expecting something a bit longer. Also included is a 90-second teaser trailer which is as good as any other trailer from this movie.So there is a lot of extra material on this disc. Still think that Fox (or whoever it was) did a better job on the X-Men First Class blu-ray. They had a very well structured documentary that tells the whole story about the film from pre-production to post. Here we get to see a bit of everything but it is not that well organized. There is nothing about casting the new characters, the script (I would have loved to see Matthew Vaughn talk about the story/script), or about the score (I am actually listening to it while writing this review). I you are like me and love to see concept art, previs, VFX stuff... I strongly recommend you download the Second Screen App.About the downloadable movie: it is great!! I have the iTunes version on HD, english, spanish and frech audio available. And 30 different languages available as subtitles!!!About the fan art booklet: It is interesting, not amazing. We get 7 art pieces from guys around the world including a few word from each of them.In the end this is a product you should buy if you are a fan of the series and/or liked this particular movie. I am giving it 4 stars because I think the extra material could have been better. If you ask me if you should buy this product I would say: YES, I totally recommend it!!!

I bought this movie solely for the purpose for Evan peters playing quick silver.. I’m sorry the “If I had time in bottle” seen is too invigorating:0
