Three years after they dealt with Apocalypse, the X-men face a new threat: one of their own. Jean Grey, an overwhelmingly powerful mutant, must come to grips with both her past and her power, and the collateral damage will be high. Meanwhile, Earth faces a grave new threat: alien conquest.
This movie was widely panned by critics. While not up to par with the rest of the X-men: First Class movies, this wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great either. Apocalypse felt more 'epic', the story here wasn't compelling (and didn't seem to advance the overall story in a meaningful way), and the humor and action seemed a touch off. The film looked at actions and motive, family, and power- worthy things to contemplate- but I couldn't detect the message or conclusion in places. These things combined mean the film fizzled, and rumors say this the last X-men movie we'll have for a while. It's an unfortunate ending to a series that was otherwise entertaining and interesting.
