Morning session. Plenty on the buffer from a pace out over Ultimo to walk into George Street. Quiet, and the smell from the bathroom soap is pleasant.
Faces of the leaders, of Xavier and Magneto, are looking fantastic for their time travelling ages. The work superb and from there on in the chase to knock down the references and nods to the comics is on.
Stan Lee and Chris Claremont flash for a few seconds in the opening. It's like watching a computer being hacked by Mystique at Stryker's hold.
Finally, a Danger Room sequence where the students really get into the challenge of the battle. With a Colossus/Wolvie fastball to boot. Strength of the team as a unit is apparent. Albeit a little shaky.
Smashing pace is quick and the Beast appears to be the only real character with time on screen to linger about. Everyone else just flashes through in quick succession or as minor characters. Psylocke is barely there.
No astral plane for the very final moments of X-Men 3. Three people in the cinema walking out at the ultimate blank screen to catch one glimpse of the future.
Most of the focus is on the mood, the dream and the battle. A rather sad end to the trilogy as it stands. Fantastic action scenes and the one-liners are ripping mad at ease. Classic.
