December 11, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This isn’t our first look at X-Men: Apocalypse from Bryan Singer. This is our best look at the film, though, as we begin with Jean Grey seeing the end of the world in a vision, Professor X trying to reassure her… only to slowly understand just how dire the situation is indeed. The film is […]
