Dark Phoenix

2019 · 114 min

A somber, effects-heavy superhero drama that feels more like a tragedy than an action spectacle, with emotional weight but uneven momentum.

Tagline: A Phoenix will rise. The X-Men will fall.
Overview: The X-Men face their most formidable and powerful foe when one of their own, Jean Grey, starts to spiral out of control. During a rescue mission in outer space, Jean is nearly killed when she's hit by a mysterious cosmic force. Once she returns home, this force not only makes her infinitely more powerful, but far more unstable. The X-Men must now band together to save her soul and battle aliens that want to use Grey's new abilities to rule the galaxy.
How it feels: Dark, melancholic, tense and earnest. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Identity, trauma, power, guilt
Content: Strong violence. Mild gore and language. No sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
