Synopsis:
The X-Men must unite again for the first time to defeat Apocalypse! An extended cut of a movie that's already too long, but also wasn't long enough. Adding back some much needed character moments and connective tissue to a movie that moved a little too fast. 17 new and extended scenes have been added back into the film for a longer, fully and more complete conquest of the mighty Apocalypse!
Intentions:
While watching the film, I did notice some moments moving too fast, or some things that moved a little too fast, so seeing that the Blu-Ray had a lot more stuff with Scott who was sorely underused, I wanted to make an extended cut of the film.
Change List:
- Added X-Men themed Marvel card from X3
- Added Alex Summers going into Scott's room and talking to him before taking him to Xavier's school
- Extended class with Xavier teaching The One and Future King
- Added Jean performing some archery aided by her powers
- Extended scene of Magneto greiving over his family
- Added Apocalypse waking up in an alley and getting a cloak, explaining where it came from in the film
- Added Alex saying goodbye to his brother before going to see Moira, unknowingly for the last time
- Extended scene of Scott getting his Ruby-Quartz glasses
- Extended scene of Scott and Jean meeting and talking for the first time
- Added Hank showing Mystique around the school for the first time in a decade
- Extended scene of Jubilee walking around with Nightcrawler and Scott planning to go to the mall
- Added montage scene of Scott, Jean, Jubilee and Nightcrawler going to a very 80s mall, set to Safety Dance
- Added Moira being shown around the Mansion and the blue basement
- Added Xavier trying to talk Storm out of siding with Apocalypse before he crafts the pyramid
- Added Moira's memory of X-Men: First Class coming back to her as they fly to Egypt
- Added Magneto coming down and taking his helmet off and talking to Mystique post-battle
- Added Xavier talking to Mystique about how he needs to be more than a teacher
- Added Moira arresting Stryker in a final scene with her
Additional Notes:
There are a few shots that don't have 100% finished VFX, but I think it was finished enough to be watchable.
