In the year 2233, the USS Kelvin investigates a lightning storm in space, which the crew soon realizes is a black hole. A massive vessel the Narada emerges, creating an alternate timeline. The Narada opens fire on the Kelvin, inflicting heavy damage. The Narada’s captain, Nero (Eric Bana), hails the outmatched Kelvin and demands that its captain, Richard Robau (Faran Tahir), come aboard the Narada via shuttlecraft. Captain Robau agrees and hands command of the ship to his first officer, George Kirk (Chris Hemsworth). Robau orders Kirk to wait fifteen minutes for his signal or else evacuate the ship.

That’s how the movie begins. Curious to see the rest of it?

But the future Connor was raised to believe in is altered in part by the appearance of Marcus Wright, a stranger whose last memory is of being on death row.

When a murder of a physicist, Leonardo Vetra, finds a symbolist, Robert Langdon, and Mr. Vetra’s daughter, Vittoria, on an adventure for a secret brotherhood, The Illuminati. Clues lead them all around the Vatican, including the four alters of science, Earth, Air, Fire and Water. An Assassin, working for the Illuminati, has captured four cardinals, and murders each, painfully. Robert and Vittoria also are searching for a new very destructive weapon that could kill millions.

The Pope died and the conclave has been called for. Four candidates were chosen. However, before the voting, the 4 candidates are killed one by one. The killer leaves clues that seem to say that he/she is from the Illuminati. Strangely though, the Illuminati was long thought to be extinct. Who is the mastermind? Who revived the Illuminati? What do they want?

James Logan aka Wolverine and his brother Victor Creed (who will later become Sabretooth) run away together as children in the mid 1850’s after Logan kills their biological father who had murdered Logan’s adoptive father. After serving together in many wars they are recruited by William Stryker to serve in a special unit made up of mutants. When Stryker orders the destruction of a village that refuses to reveal the location of a ‘precious metal’ Stryker yearns for (hmm…I wonder what that could be?), Logan quits the unit and goes off to live a life of peace and isolation as a lumberjack in the Canadian Rockies. He resides in a cabin, high in the gorgeous mountains, with his girlfriend (later to be known as the Silver Fox) who helps calm him though the nightmares of the past.

Six years pass for the both of them until Stryker shows up and asks Logan to come back into the fold as part of a new Weapon X project. Logan refuses but Creed shows up and murders Logan’s girlfriend leaving him wanting revenge against his brother. Logan accepts Stryker’s offer to be infused with adamantium so that he may be indestructible and then follow through with his revenge but is quickly double crossed by Stryker who, after the process is a success, gives the order to wipe his memories. Logan, who is still in the tank where the adamantium was fused to his exoskeleton, breaks out and escapes. Retreating to a nearby farmhouse, Logan befriends an elderly couple who helps him get back on his feet. We also get to see where a few symbolic props of Wolverine originate. Unfortunately, as is usually the way in Logan’s chaotic life, this respite is quickly brought to the end by Agent Zero and crew, who have been sent by Stryker to kill him. After one of the best action sequences in the film come to an end, Logan sets out to find Victor once again.
