Movie of the Week: X-Men Dark Phoenix

[jacey]

I believe that this is the final X-Men movie.

When Jean Grey begins to develop incredible powers after an encouter with an alien entity, she is corrupted and the X men must decide whether her life is worth more than all of humanity.

Sophie Turner, fresh from playing Sansa Stark in Game of Thrones, takes centre stage as Jean/Phoenix and makes a decent job of it. James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender reurn as Prof. X and Magneto, for once on more-or-less the same side.

If you're expecting this to tie into the original X Men with Patrick Stewart's Prof X, you'll be disappointed. This is an alternate timeline. The ending left me scratching my head a bit and i had to go and read it up after I got home.
