Released in 2016, X-Men: Apocalypse, directed by Bryan Singer, takes the X-Men franchise to a grander scale. Set in the 1980s, the film introduces the greatest threat the mutants have ever faced: Apocalypse (Oscar Isaac), an ancient mutant who awakens to destroy the world and establish a new order.

The story centers on Charles Xavier (James McAvoy), who is developing his school for mutants, and Erik Lehnsherr (Michael Fassbender), who seeks a peaceful life. When Apocalypse recruits powerful mutants, including Magneto, as his "Four Horsemen," a young X-Men team—including Jean Grey (Sophie Turner), Cyclops (Tye Sheridan), and Nightcrawler (Kodi Smit-McPhee)—must unite to stop him.

X-Men: Apocalypse dazzles with epic visuals, such as city-wide destruction and Apocalypse’s transformations, though the plot can feel overcrowded at times. Themes of leadership, sacrifice, and inner strength are elevated by the strong chemistry among the cast, particularly McAvoy and Fassbender. Oscar Isaac’s performance as the antagonist adds intensity, even if his character lacks depth.

Running at 144 minutes, the film delivers massive action and compelling new characters, making it a significant chapter in the mutant saga. While not as refined as its predecessors, X-Men: Apocalypse is an thrilling watch for fans who enjoy global-scale superhero adventures.
