Now streaming on: X-Men: Days of Future Past is a better than but not substantially different from other superhero movies. It s as visually indistinct and paint-by-numbers-plot-driven as most Marvel Comics-based projects, especially the gaggle of recent Avengers-related films. That creative deficit is a major problem in Days of Future Past since it follows characters who travel in time to prevent a future apocalypse. Thankfully, there s just enough right in Days of Future Past to offset what s wrong. Director Bryan Singer s confident direction mostly compensates for familiar comic book movie problems, including bald expository dialogue and forgettable action. The storytelling has such momentum that you don t have time to realize that the story lacks urgency.
