just got back from seeing it.......holy crap!!! think ive just found my new favourite film! Easily the best X-men film so far, would even go as far to say the best marvel film so far! I was gripped from start to end. The end has a nice surprise as well!

 

I found it had a good balance between the oldies and newbies (personally being a fan of the oldies, I would've loved to have had more action from them, but thats just me wanting a 4hour film!) , action with the sentinels was epic and quite brutal! I can see why they left rogue on the cutting room floor, though i do hope the bluray release will have a totally uncut version

 

My only gripes i would say was that it never really explained how charles survived in Last Stand (i know there was a bit at the end of it, but doesnt explain why hes in the same body and still in a wheel chair) and also wolverine having metal claws again, im guessing Magneto wouldve "fixed" that, but still, wouldve been nice to have a quick mention how rather than ignoring part of Last Stand and the end of Wolverine.

Damn, I really want to watch it now ;)

This group shoot is ridiculous. At the middle it should be both Charles and Erik in old versions with the young versions next to each other, maybe with a hand over the old ones' shoulders, a link between past and future. Stop with the Wolverine crap, Magneto is the most interesting character here.

But isn't Wolverine the guy who is time traveling through the whole movie? I won't be surprised if the whole movie was based around him

Then that make him a plot device, at best, but everything starts and ends with Charles and Erik.

He's the only one who doesn't look different and connects past and future, it makes sense to put him in the middle.  Oh and Wolverine is the best X-men Character, haters gonna hate.

I didn't get this either. I need to rewatch the older films (was planning to do it before watching this film) but didn't Jean pretty much obliterate Charles in X3?

Went to see it last night.

 

Exceptional. Really lived up to the hype, very good film. There was a couple of plot holes, but I think because it's time travel, its effectively changed the story in the previous X-Men films. Because of the change with Cyclops and Jean back etc, 'The Last Stand' basically didn't happen.

 

Wolverine had bone claws at the end of 'The Wolverine' but had metal in Days of Future Past. Apparently it's believed Magneto did something about this since they weren't really enemies in DOFP. It didn't explain how Charles comes back but I think he transferred his conscience into another human and then projects himself as Charles to everyone who sees him. If that makes sense. . 

Returned from watching, As others have pointed out I don't understand how the professor was alive in the start of this movie being the Future when he was ripped apart by Jean. This makes little sense to me and really caused a big hole in how things developed to that point.

 

The hidden scene is something I don't understand either.... anyone care to explain in a spoiler tag?

I haven't seen the movie yet, but I have seen people talking about the end credits scene. It's Apocalypse building the pyramids using his telekinetic powers. I believe they used his original human name En Sabah Nur in that scene. Which is obviously leading up to the next movie. He's the first mutant, and the most powerful basically. Also, immortal.

Pretty much the best X-Men movie to date. The story line and acting was good. Best part was the there were not those stupid quick jokes that movies like to put into it.

 

Remember to stay after the credits because there is a short video of whats going to happen in the next movie.

    • Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with chat cost tracking and multi-agent chats by Paul Hill Microsoft has just launched Visual Studio Code 1.126, its latest weekly release. This time, the company has focused on letting you see the total cost of chat sessions to spot expensive conversations; enabling multiple chats per session that run side-by-side in one agent host Copilot session; and letting you browse new folders safely in restricted mode. We have now reached the stage where free AI in IDEs is coming to an end. To help you keep track of your costs, VS Code now lets you see the entire cost of a chat session, rather than just individual turns. This should give you more transparency about which sessions consume the most credits, so you can better manage your usage over time and spend less. For those of you using the Agents window, you know it is possible to run and manage multiple agent sessions at once. In this update, a Copilot session started from an agent host can hold several chats at once. Explaining how this feature works, Microsoft writes: Finally, from this update forward, Microsoft will remove the pop-up when opening an untrusted folder. When you open a new folder now, it will automatically open in Restricted Mode. You will see a banner that lets you manage the trust level of the folder. Microsoft has made this change so that it’s easier to start inspecting code without giving it trust right away. If you have VS Code, you can check for updates within the app now to get this new version. Otherwise, you can download it from the Visual Studio Code website.
    • Anthropic accuses Alibaba of using 25,000 fake accounts to copy Claude's capabilities by Karthik Mudaliar Anthropic has accused Alibaba of using nearly 25,000 fraudulent accounts to extract capabilities from Claude on a huge scale. According to a report from Reuters, Anthropic told US lawmakers that operators linked to Alibaba and the company’s Qwen AI team generated 28.8 million exchanges with Claude between April 22 and June 5, 2026. That is a lot of Claude conversations, but Anthropic says this was not ordinary chatbot use. The company believes the accounts were part of a coordinated effort to collect answers that could help train or improve rival AI systems. The alleged campaign reportedly focused on some of Claude’s most valuable skills, including software development, multi-step reasoning, and agentic tasks. In practical terms, that means getting an AI model to plan and complete work across several stages rather than simply answering a single question. This is called 'distillation,' where AI companies use outputs from a larger model to train a smaller and cheaper one. The smaller model learns to imitate useful parts of the more capable system without needing the same amount of computing power. The distillation process isn't automatically suspicious, but the problem comes when one company gathers another provider's outputs without permission and at an industrial scale. Also, this does not mean Alibaba obtained Claude’s source code, model weights, or original training data. Instead, Anthropic claims the accounts repeatedly asked Claude carefully designed questions and collected the answers. Those answers could then be used as training material for another model. Anthropic has made similar accusations against DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, and MiniMax earlier this year. As Neowin previously reported, Anthropic said those three companies collectively generated more than 16 million Claude exchanges through roughly 24,000 accounts. Anthropic says the new campaign produced almost twice as many exchanges in a matter of weeks. Anthropic reportedly told lawmakers that the campaign could help Chinese AI developers approach the capabilities of its Mythos Preview model. Mythos is focused on advanced cybersecurity work, including finding and exploiting complex software vulnerabilities. via Reuters | Photo via DepositPhotos.com
