The pharaoh Rama-Tut, in actuality an earlier incarnation of Kang the Conqueror who had come back in time to locate the young Apocalypse and take him under his wing, tries to convince Nur to join him, but the young mutant savagely attacks the pharaoh only to be taken down by the conqueror's futuristic weapon. He hides himself as a slave in Tut's city, where he has visions of Egyptian gods who reveal his great destiny. The young Nur vows to take revenge on the pharaoh and claim his destiny. Baal eventually dies from lack of nourishment after weeks of deprivation, but before he does, he admits to Nur that he had believed him to be a savior foretold in ancient prophecies who is destined to overthrow the pharaoh Rama-Tut. Nur and Baal are the only Sandstormers to survive on the day that General Ozymandias and his army destroy the Sandstormers tribe, as they find refuge in a sacred cave before it collapsed. He is taught the philosophy that the tribe lives and dies by: survival of the fittest.

Born with gray skin (although Apocalypse's skin color is sometimes depicted with different human pigment variations) and blue-lipped with natural facial markings, in the settlement of Akkaba, he was abandoned as an infant, but found by a band of desert nomads called the Sandstormers, whose leader, Baal, sees the child's potential power, decides to raise him as his own, and names him En Sabah Nur.
X men apocalypse free movie#
He is seen in the movie X-Men: Days of Future Past during the First Dynasty portrayed by actor Oscar Isaac (around 3000 BC). If you love X-Men, as well as apocalyptic superhero movies, then this is the film for you. Would you recommend it? Of course! Like I said, it may not top the previous X-Men films but that doesn't mean it is terrible. Also, the way Apocalypse murders people is pretty brutal and frightening. We see his past and his present and why he turned into a dark and yet powerful supervillain. It almost felt as he was the main antagonist in this film. We also get more connected with Magneto and why he hates humanity so much. There is a lot of death and depressing moments you will feel. He acts like a wild animal and slashes anyone who gets in his way and even this guy who begged Wolverine for mercy got his face ripped off! How dark is this film? It is actually pretty dark. It is also based on the real weapon x origin of Wolverine. Is Wolverine in this? Yes! He may have a small cameo but it is a damn excellent cameo! When Wolverine enters the screen, the film basically transforms into an R-Rated action scene. I could basically compare this Apocalypse to a wimp who cosplays as Apocalypse with really good make up. If he was CGI like Thanos from Guardians of the Galaxy, he would've looked more threatening and tyrannical. How is Apocalypse the character? Honestly, I feel that Apocalypse was a little weaker than his comic version. And yes, Quicksilver returns and tops his amazing scene from X-Men: Days of Future's Past. We also have many amazing recurring members from the previous movies such as the young Professor X who was amazing, a slight older Magneto, Mystique who is also a little older and Beast who is still young as ever. We have a younger version of Cyclops, Jean, Nightcrawler and Storm. Are the younger versions of the X-Men in this film? Yes. You decide whether the movie is good or not. Don't be scared to see the movie all because critics are making this movie look bad, go see it for yourself for your own opinion. How good is this movie? It may not top the previous X-Men movies but that doesn't mean the movie is terrible. I will say specific parts that I loved and thought about this film and how I would recommend it. I have always loved superhero movies about the end of days. I was so hyped when I heard they were creating an X-Men movie with Apocalypse in it. I loved all the X-Men movies, including X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
