The new X-Men Movie (X-Men: Days of Future Past) is scheduled to release on May 23. The film is inspired by the 1980 comic series of the same name. Premise: The X-Men send back Wolverine to the past in order to prevent an all-out war. A new nemesis has necessitated the formation of a united team of younger X-Men and present-day older X-Men. The movie apparently has a large role for Trask Industries and Sentinels. (For the uninitiated: Sentinels are giant mutant-killing robots developed by Bolivar Trask played by the recent Game of Thrones sensation, Peter Dinklage.) Here's a look at things to be excited about.(Text by: Shantanu Argal)

And, of course, Hugh Jackman as the Wolverine. If you've watched all the previous films in the series, watch this one closely: since it incorporates an element of time-travel we can be sure that it will be full of Easter Eggs referring to both past movies and (possible) upcoming ones. Watch it in 3D: The trailers are full of cheese-burst dialogue and dramatic string music. So it looks like an IMAX 3D experience might be worth a watch. If you have some time to kill: Log on to Trask-industries.com. It is complete with mechanical specifications for the Sentinels, a profile of Bolivar and cataloguing of anti-mutant products.(Text by: Shantanu Argal)
