Quite like its name, Days of Future Past may just be that — about interesting enough to keep dipping into the pool, but not good enough to not see in it reflected glory.

With an overdose of the serious and the silly, the plot manages to sustain the pace and intensity commendably. Overall, with nearly 25 characters to track, fleeting between time zones, space and technically brilliant visuals, concentrating on the film becomes a tedious affair.
