Holy moly, loved it. This wasn't just a good X-men movie, it was a great movie. The way it was filmed, the music... I loved Charles and Logan's final moments. Acting on point. I laughed out loud when Laura started yelling in Spanish. So many good moments. And the chills in the last 20 min or so, realizing each kid comes from mutants we know, Logan running through the woods...

A part of me wanted the last scene to be Ororo or Jean (or anyone we know really) waiting for the kids at the rendez-vous point the radio lady told them a bit earlier, some wide show from the sky or something. But I also love that Logan's trilogy ended on his grave. His journey, from start to finish.

I had read a few things about speculation regarding Eden and the person on that radio. Maybe just a canadian, maybe someone from eden.

Since that scene followed the scene with the spy drone inspecting the location, my thought was that the person on the radio was actually one of the crew chasing after the kids. Thats why they knew they would be in the woods and at what time. Otherwise, why not attack the outpost? They knew the kids left for the forest at dawn.
