Trivia
(at around 18 mins) The script called for Logan to wake up in 1973 in boxer shorts. Hugh Jackman vetoed this, in favor of waking nude, saying, "In Australia, if you're next to a really good-looking girl, you're not getting out with boxer shorts on, or briefs, or anything!"

Goofs
(at around 1h 30 mins) When the Pentagon is shown, the caption says "Washington, DC." though the technical location of The Pentagon is Arlington, Virginia. However, it has been insisted by many that the building is not just close physically, but is very linked to Washington's political and economic culture, that the employees generally think of themselves more as 'Washingtonian' than 'Virginian'. Additionally, at least two official seals (one's in the Pentagon press room) state 'Washington' (or 'Washington DC') at the bottom making the identification not entirely wrong.

Quotes
Logan: [to young Magneto] So, you always were an asshole.

Crazy credits
SPOILER: There is a scene at the end of the closing credits: a mutant stands in front of a crowd chanting his name, as he telekinetically assembles a pyramid in the air. This leads into X-Men: Apocalypse (2016).

Alternate versions
An alternate version of the film has been released on Blu-ray, DVD and digital formats called "X-Men: Days of Future Past: The Rogue Cut." This edition not only includes Rogue's scenes, but there is additional footage as well. I.e. more time in the airport. Hank and Raven have a moment together. Also the final mutant stand in the future is altered by Rogue's presence.

constructed well to connect old cast with the new

In the future, the world is devastated by constant war. Sentinels are robots created to hunt mutants. Xavier and Magneto team up with a plan to change history. Kitty Pryde sends Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) 50 years into the past to 1973. He has to find Xavier (James McAvoy), free Magneto (Michael Fassbender) and recruit them in a mission to stop the Sentinel program before it starts. They have to stop Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence) who tries to kill weapons designer Trask (Peter Dinklage).

This is a compelling sci-fi thriller achieving one of the most seamless transition from an old cast to the new. The story is terrific. It introduces Quicksilver as a fresh injection of fun. That's probably the only minor complaint. It needs a bit more fun to offset the serious tones. It's not really a complaint. OK! Forget about it. The new cast is set to take off in place of the old.
