He is betrayed by his worshippers and entombed for centuries, while his followers, the Four Horsemen, are destroyed. He awakens in 1983, he is disillusioned with the world as he finds it and believing that without his presence humanity has weakened, decides to destroy it in order to rebuild. He recruits new Horsemen including a disheartened Magneto (Michael Fassbender).
Mutant Raven Darkhölme, investigating an underground fight club, rescues Nightcrawler who has the ability to teleport. With the help of Professor X (James McAvoy), she must lead a team of young X-Men to stop their greatest nemesis and save mankind from complete destruction. Apocalypse and his followers kidnap Xavier. He uses the mutant-locating computer Cerebro to force several world leaders to launch Earth's entire nuclear arsenal into space so it cannot be used against him....
OUR REVIEW :

It was clear Bryan Singer knew what he was doing at the helm of the X-Men franchise. He has set his sights on one of the most famous comic book story lines in the X-Men canon, there's a feast of fan service for the entire two-and-a-half-hour running time. It's all done in true comic book style, too. You dive in and keep up, you don't get any origin stories and all the fights are big, characters make cameo appearances just because they can....

At This point in the franchise, it´s almost pointless arguing whether or not you should see X-Men : Apocalypse.
If you´ve seen all the X-Men films or even just X-Men: First Class and X-Men: Days of Future Past, it´s pretty much a foregone conclusion that you will see this latest instalment. The first two movies succeeded in large part because of the wonderful interplay with the three main leads (James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender and Jennifer Lawrence) and the complex relationships established between their characters. Unfortunately, Apocalypse gives the three very little screen time together !
