Alien at the Movies

This is not a sneak preview. This film has already released.

Set in the 1980's, this film feels like First Class again as the mutants are back on the big screen to battle the all powerful first mutant & his chosen disciples, biblically known as the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Depending on your knowledge & familiarity with X-Men films & comics and your ability to accept change, you may or may not enjoy this latest mutant mayhem on planet Earth. Some of your favorite actors are back to reprise their beloved roles but then some of the characters are now being portrayed younger actors. Some big named stars get more screen time while spending less time in full makeup. Quicksilver & Nightcrawler have some funny scenes. Stan Lee makes his now expected cameo appearance but this time his part has expanded to include Mrs. Stan Lee. In this ultimate battle threatening human annihilation, our previous perceptions may have us question who are the good & bad guys. Alien liked the back stories explaining the origins & how they evolved. Stay tuned after the credits & a long pause for mysterious clip that may only be understood by the most ardent Marvel fans.

Alien gives it 3 ½ "Beware of Weapon-X" stars out of 4.
