Factual error: As the X-Men land in Cairo, scenes reveal the destruction Magneto is wreaking around the world, where it is simultaneously daylight in New York, Sydney and Cairo - it is possible for it to be daylight in two of these locations at once, but not all three. (01:46:00)
X-Men: Apocalypse (2016)
Directed by: Bryan Singer
Starring: James McAvoy, Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender, Oscar Isaac, Olivia Munn, Sophie Turner
Factual error: When Apocalypse touches the television in Cairo and says he is "Learning", the next shot shows the rooftops with many smallish satellite dishes in view. This is set in the early eighties when satellite dishes for TV were much larger.
Factual error: When Stryker's chopper with the mutants on board flies over the lake it enters a tunnel that barely clears the rotors. As any student pilot could tell you, this would lead to an immediate crash as the downwash from the rotors struck the bottom and sides of the rounded tunnel and reduced lift to zero.
Trivia: The program playing on the TV at Ororo Munroe / Storm's home which Apocalypse watches is the 1967 Star Trek episode "Who Mourns for Adonais?" which also features the return of a godlike being.
Trivia: Apocalypse's followers are referred to as The Four Horsemen in the comic, and there is also a brief mention of it in the movie (when Charles and Alex go to see Moira). The song playing when apocalypse goes to recruit Angel is "The Four Horsemen", by Metallica.
Apocalypse: All is revealed.
Erik Lensherr: Does it ever wake you in the middle of the night? The feeling that one day, they'll come for you? And your children?
Charles Xavier: I feel a great swell of pity for the poor soul who comes to my school looking for trouble.
Apocalypse: Everything they've built will fall! And from the ashes of their world, we'll build a better one.
Question: How does Stryker know that Charles Xavier is the world's most powerful telepath? They only met during the 70s and Charles never used his powers in his presence.
Answer: As shown in Days of Future past, Trask was able to identify Magneto and Mystique, as well as their mutant powers. Trask could have found Charles Xavier at any given time, or Stryker possibly researched him. Stryker did work for Trask after all.
Question: Did Apocalypse give Magneto new powers in Poland, or just enhance them?
Chosen answer: Neither, actually. Apocalypse merely revealed to Magneto a way in which he could use his powers at their current level. Magneto is simply phenomenally powerful.

Answer: Psylocke is purposefully shown literally just walking away after the dust has settled. She could very well show up in another film somewhere along the line but nothing has been confirmed as of yet.
