* ''Days of Future Past'' became the highest-grossing ''X-Men'' film at the box office with $747 million worldwide (not counting ''Film/{{Deadpool|2016}}'', which is set in the same continuity but isn't an ensemble X-men movie), doubling the gross of ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', and remained the best-received critically until ''Film/{{Logan}}'' came out (although ''Logan'' isn't an ensemble X-men movie, again).
* The film managed to repair the disastrous continuity errors within the ''X-Men'' movie-verse. As of this film, there have been 7 films in the saga:
** ''Film/XMen1'' appears to be in continuity with ''Future Past'', as Future!Charles tells Logan how he helped Logan regain his lost memories, which occurred at the conclusion of the first film. Some Weapon X footage is used from this film as well.
** ''Film/X2XMenUnited'' is most definitely in continuity, as it shows scenes from the Weapon X experiments at Alkali Lake.
** As is ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'', which shows clips of Phoenix and her death.
** ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'' is in continuity due to a flashback of Victor Creed stepping on Logan's bone claws. Some Weapon X footage was used from this film.
** ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' and ''Film/TheWolverine'' are also in continuity, as they lead directly into ''Future Past''; the former being the prequel to it, the latter leading directly into the future scenes.
** It also wipes out all these continuities at the climax of the film, and ''Film/XMenApocalypse'' seems to confirm this so this is really a moot point now. The original trilogy at least.
* Just seeing the beloved casts of characters from both the original ''X-Men'' trilogy and ''First Class'' [[CrossOver working together]] in the same movie is awesome in itself.
* It's very subtle, but Creator/PatrickStewart's performance in the AlternateTimeline is different from his previous scenes and the rest of the franchise. He is essentially playing an elderly version of Creator/JamesMcAvoy's character, capturing a small part of the latter's bubbly exuberance. (Charles is in his late eighties/early nineties in 2023, so his energy level is obviously a lot lower than that of his 1962 self.) Stewart's Professor X has traditionally been more serious and guarded, but the one Wolverine speaks to near the end of the movie is more light-hearted and open. Stewart had stated in an interview not long after ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' was released that he had enjoyed [=McAvoy=]'s portrayal of the young Xavier, and wished that he could emulate some of it should he ever have the chance to play the character again. Well, the actor did exactly that!

* Without the adamantium mixed to his skeleton, one might have expected Wolverine to actually defeat Magneto or at least make it way harder for the latter to win. Instead, Magneto reminds the audience that he's never needed someone to have metal bones to defeat them, and simply uses his power on some nearby steel cables to hold Wolverine down.

** Don't forget his clever use of his powers, breaking Erik out of his cell by pressing his hands to the glass and moving them so quickly that the glass wobbles in place before breaking apart.
