In-your-face f/x
Fox's "X-Men: The Last Stand," though, offered perhaps the most talked-about visual effect of the year: the opening flashback sequence in which Patrick Stewart and Ian Mc-Kellen appear some 20 years younger. The rejuvenation was accomplished by Lola Visual Effects without the aid of makeup. It represents a significant breakthrough, and the kind that gets the attention of the Acad's effects branch.

SFX talks to X-Men VFX Supervisor John Bruno
We had to make both Xavier and Dr Lensure (Magneto) look 20 to 30 years younger. For me the entire success of the film was based on the believability of this scene for the audience.

For instance, the first scene in the movie shocked me. Set twenty years ago, it’s the moment where Magneto (Ian McKellen) and Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart) go to meet a young Jean Grey for the first time. Whatever bit of digital trickery they used to de-age
both Stewart and McKellen, it’s fascinating. It doesn’t look like an effect at all... they’re just younger, the clock somehow rolled back.
