Set in 1992, X-Men: Dark Phoenix follows the team as they embark on a daring space mission to rescue stranded astronauts. During the mission, Jean Grey is struck by a mysterious cosmic force that amplifies her psychic powers beyond measure. While the X-Men return home as celebrated heroes, Jean soon struggles to control her newfound abilities.
As her emotions spiral, long-buried traumas resurface, threatening not only her relationships with her friends but also the fragile trust between mutants and humanity. Manipulated by an alien seeking to harness the Phoenix power for her own ends, Jean becomes a danger to those she loves most.
With tensions rising, the X-Men face their most personal and heartbreaking battle yet: to save Jean from herself while protecting the world from her destructive force.
Review
“The ‘X-Men’ franchise wraps up — or does it? — with a functionally plotted sequel that attains a note of ominous majesty, thanks to Sophie Turner’s presence as an X-Woman consumed by the awesomeness of her power.”
