X-men Apocalypse 3D [3D Blu-ray]

What can I say... a movie that i'm glad I bought at such a low price.. It was so worth ordering.

I keep giving Fox chances to make a good movie and each time they fail. I spoke at length with a friend of mine who is a big comic book fan. The reason why these X-men movies fail time and time again is that they don't stick to the source material, they over pay for big name actors (in this case, actress), and they try to cram to many things into one movie.Let's get started. ATTENTION! SPOILERS ***Source material: in the comics, Apocalypse is a seriously bad ass villain. Hence the name. He's a world ending event type guy. BUT that's not his motive, he didn't want the world to end, just be to his liking (like most evil villians). In this movie, he's some old fart with some neat tricks like controlling sand. The extent of his powers are never explained throughout the movie. It's just assumed that he's got all sorts of powers (explained briefly). Sand manipulation, teleportation, mind control/influence?, force field, enhancing others with powers are just a few we see. Yet, in pivotal moments of the movie, he only uses certain abilities and holds back from unleashing hell on the X-men. Why? Seriously, if you put all the powers he demonstrates throughout the movie together, he is pretty much unstoppable. But he doesn't do anything outside standing still for about 10 minutes while everyone attacks him. One could argue that his mind was distracted and he couldn't perform multiple actions at the same time ...until you realize that's exactly what he is doing at the big fight. He's basically tainting Xavier all the while nullifying the attacks of the X-men.Let's talk about the individual characters in the battle.Angel. Never uses his augmented powers to do anything other than break out of his prison. Seriously. It's as of he never even got super up by Apocalypse.Psylocke. Loses to Beast in a 1v1 fight. Did Apocalypse even give her any powers? I couldn't even tell. That's how insignificant she was in this movie.Magneto. Oh where to start...he is obviously Apocalypse best horsemen, yet is the only one not instructed to defend Apocalypse when he needed it the most. Correct me if I'm wrong but he literally doesn't move a muscle throughout the entire time Apocalypse was transferring himself. WHAT!?! OK? And then when he finally decided to do something, it's pretty much the most pathetic use of his powers. Well not the most pathetic, but it amounted to nothing. What he did was on part with what Storm or Scott was doing. Merely a distraction, if that, to Apocalypse.Storm. She kind of did stuff, got knocked out of the fight, than was a bystander until the end. Meh.Beast. They needed sunbelt to fight Psylocke, I guess.Jean. Did nothing of relevance until turning to Phoenix. Sat around while everyone was fighting. Seriously, just sat there watching and crying until her big part.Nightcrawler. Such a waste. So he fights Angel twice in this movie. And both times is basically the same fight. Them grappling each other and flying/teleportating around in a confusing manner. He conveniently is absent in the final battle because he probably would have kicked Apocalypse butt easily (if the writers wanted).Professor X. I guess the world's most powerful telepath can't beat Apocalypse with home field advantage. This only reinforces the idea of Apocalypse being all powerful yet still loses to a cop out.Wolverine. Why was he even in this movie? If you cut out that entire 20 minute portion of the movie, it'll still be the exact same movie! A shameless plug.Quicksilver. About the best thing this movie had going for it. At least we see him do his thing against Apocalypse and not get written out of the fight scene by the stupid writers.Now let's talk about why having all these characters made this movie a jumbled mess. It's too confusing! If you are a comic fan, you get overwhelmed by the sheer number of characters the movie throws at you. I didn't even mention Jubilee, Havoc, Caliban...the last goes on. They get introduced briefly, used as plot devices to advance the story as the writers see fit, then just tossed aside.You might have noticed that I left out the most offensive character of all, Mystique. That's because her inclusion in this movie is based entirely on Jennifer Lawrence's appeal at the moment. Her role is so forced in this movie, it made me cringe. The story tries so hard to make her relevant, but in the end, there's nothing left to about her character that's important. Another character who's role and contribution to the story was minimal at best. She couldn't convince Magneto to change sides. She couldn't hurt Apocalypse. I guess she helped by making Storm become good? Lol, that's all she was good for. And soaking up 20% of the movie's budget probably.So then we see how he ends up losing. Dark phoenix? Are you kidding me? Lol, I was about to sit if the Blu-ray when I realized this was the direction Fox was going. If you are going to use your best trump card to defeat your worse enemy, what are you left with after this movie? No villian will stand a chance against Dark Phoenix. They can't make any movie after this one because Jean can just go Phoenix on anybody and end the movie in 1 minute. And they don't have anyone more powerful than Apocalypse...so what now? SmhThe decision to include/use Phoenix was a sloppy and lazy one. It looks like we've reached the end of this movie trilogy since there will only be a let down (climatically).Fox got it right with First Class. That movie used...a handful of characters. Then they got fat on their success and fell back to pre-First Class ways. Using over 20 characters seems like a prerequisite for Fox in their X-men movies. Cramming in lead ins to other moves too (like the Wolverine side story). Unlike Marvel, it distracts from the movie, not add to it. The audience clearly would recognize Wolverine, yet is left wondering why was he shown if not to partake in the moves final battle? Of , that's right! Shameless plugin.I could go on and on about why this movie failed. I don't know how much the budget was, but it felt cheap compared to Marvel's movies. Was the CG done on purpose to look unbelievable? Granted, X-men powers are bit more showy then Avenger powers such as laser eye beams and smoke teleportation vs turning big and green or a bouncing shield. The X-men universe had a make believe, sci-fi feel and look to it. Marvel's movie looks more...believable, as silly as that sounds.Overall, I'd paid $12 to see this at the theatre, I would have been disappointed. Instead, I merely wasted 2 hours of my life with a rental on a sub-par movie. Any casual viewer would be hard pressed to say they followed the movie without numerous questions. Fan boys will defend this movie saying it was totally awesome and what not. But this review was written by a fan boy who saw the movie as a movie and ss a movie, it should still be coherent, not just fan service.2 out of 5 stars

With each new X-Men Universe offering from Fox, I find myself more and more longing for the day when Marvel will refuse to renew the license to Fox and re-make the X-Men in the same style as they've done with the Marvel Universe movies from their own production company (the only recent exception being Deadpool). It seems that big studios cannot wrap their collective heads around the concept of building up the world, first, before deluging it with characters and blowing it up (yes, I'm looking at you, too, Warner Brothers). I mean, seriously, it doesn't have to be world-threatening every time.This one, in particular, got off to a bad start with me. We open some 5000 years ago in Egypt during a ceremony in which En Sabah Nur, later to be known as Apocalypse, is transferring his consciousness into a new host so that he can take the man's mutant power. The ceremony is being held inside a great pyramid. A pyramid which has been built with a... Look, I'm having trouble even saying this, but it's been built with a self destruct mechanism. One of the great pyramids in Egypt with a, yes, self-destruct device. Seriously.Then, when it's activated, not only does the pyramid collapse in on itself... The solid stone pyramid collapses in on itself. What? Anyway... Once it had done that, it proceeds to collapse right on down into the ground, becoming completely submerged and blocking it from the sun.There is none of that that makes any actual sense. Sure, you go right ahead and try to win yourself a No Prize by coming up with an explanation that works, but there is none of it that will actually make any rational sense, especially the part where the pyramid is swallowed by the earth.We're less than 10 minutes into the movie at that point (okay, maybe 15), and I'm already struggling.The next major issue with the movie is characters. There are too many and too many of them with no introduction. There's been demand since the X-Movies started for everyone's favorite character, whomever that may be, but Fox has gotten into the habit of just tossing them in without bothering to tell the audience who they are, basically relying on audience knowledge. This is fine under two conditions:1. The character takes no part in the story, as with Jubilee in Apocalypse. Or any of the background students at Xavier's school.2. The audience is only made up of fans of the comics who already know all of the background information they need to have.It's alienating to non-comics fans when there are a bunch of characters running around without any information provided as to whom they are.That's one of the things Marvel Studios has done exceedingly well, especially since many of their movies have dealt with little-known characters outside of the world of comics fans and conventions, is to introduce characters in a plausible and meaningful way. Even with Spider-Man, probably the character with the least information given about him within the context of a movie, in Captain America: Civil War, there was an appropriate amount of background given to give the character context for the movie.Fox failed to do that with pretty much every character they brought into Apocalypse, including characters who have previously been in X-Men movies. The introductions of Nightcrawler and Angel were flimsy at best. Storm, given the fact that they've never really revealed any of her background prior, was hardly better. And Caliban and Psylocke were abysmal. And, I have to say, Psylocke psi-blade is not a lightsaber; it's a psychic knife that doesn't have any physical manifestation. (Unless they changed that sometime since I quit reading comics?)The story is plenty bloated, too. The whole capture by Stryker is completely superfluous to the actual story and is only there so that they can work Wolverine into the movie in a completely gratuitous killfest. That was at least half an hour of the movie that could have been used to further the elements of the actual story. Or cut out completely.The Magneto plot line is also -- I don't know what to call it -- unnecessary. It provides the only moment of the film with any real emotional content, but, considering where things are left at the end of Days of Future Past, it felt contrived. That would be because it was.All of that said, it might sound like I didn't like the movie, which is not precisely true. I didn't like it, but I also didn't not like it. It wasn't horrible; it just wasn't all that good. Still, I'd watch it again before Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice any day of the week.I'm not a fan of the whole re-booting thing, but the X-Men is a franchise that needs to be re-booted and, this time, it needs to start with a plan, lay a foundation, and grow from there. It's too big a universe to keep throwing pieces of it in without laying the groundwork for them.

No problems here. I do not understand why it has to have so much to add here, when i would not have bought the film if i did not think it would be good.

Filme: La pelicula en si es buena, pero es la peorcita de la segunda trilogia, no es mala pero no esta a la altura de First Class o DOFP, y eso fue porque Apocalypse no fue el villano definitivo que debio ser, ademas que no luce bien en pantalla y como el filme recae totalmente en su personaje ese defecto afecta el filme, otro punto negativo es Jenifer Lawrence ella y su personaje son dados demasiado protagonismo inecesario solo por la gran estrella que ella se convirtio, debieron haberle dado mas protagonismo a otros personajes y los visuales son muy malos en varias tomas. Puntos positivos son el resto del reparto; los jovenes Ciclops, Jean Grey y Nightcrawler son geniales, espero ver mas de ellos en futuras peliculas. Mcboy y Fessbender de primera como de costumbre y Wolverine tiene una pequena aparicion muy satisfactoria.Cabe decir que este blu ray es la version distribuida en EUA y El blu ray en si es de 10 en todos los aspectos. El video y sonido son de maxima calidad, incluye un dvd y tambien copia digital. Tiene una hora de un detras de camaras, escenas eliminadas y bloopers. El filme incluye doblaje y subtitulos al espanol. El precio fue de $170 en el buen fin y me llego con Slipcover.

Compre la versión importada.Viene con slipcover, bluray, dvd y copia digital, me gusta la variedad de formatos para diferentes ocasiones.Las características especiales son pocas, a pesar que dice que vienen muchas, no son tantas.La caja del bluray de plástico es color plata, lo cual le pone un poco más de onda.Si cuenta con audio y subtítulos en español.

Mi esposa es más fan que yo de estos géneros. Sin embargo he de decir que la película es bastante entretenida, con "menos diálogos y más acción " que otras del género. Efectos gráficos gratificantes y una tarde garantizada de entretenimiento. No hay pierde, si la compras no te arrepientes.
