“No, you won’t.”

Unable to control her powers as a child, Jean Grey (Summer Fontana) accidentally killed her parents in a car accident and went to live with Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) at his school for gifted children so she could learn how to control and master her powers.  In 1992, Jean (Sophie Turner) is a young adult and a strong member of the X-Men, despite her rough childhood.  When solar flares place the lives of several astronauts in danger, Charles tasks Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence) and Beast (Nicholas Hoult) with leading a rescue mission to bring the astronauts safely home.  Jean, Cyclops (Tye Sheridan), Quicksilver (Evan Peters), Nightcrawler (Kodi Smit-McPhee), and Storm (Alexandra Shipp) head up on the mission, but before they’re able to get everyone out the solar flares reach the ship and the still-trapped-inside Jean.  Now filled with an unexplainable force, Jean is brought back to earth by the X-Men where she learns some painful secrets from her past that make it almost impossible for her to control her newfound extra power.  When aliens (led by Jessica Chastain and Ato Essandoh) arrive on Earth following the force inhabiting Jean, things quickly spiral out of control as Jean leaves the X-Men and the school behind in search of answers, even turning to Magneto (Michael Fassbender) for help.  As Mystique and the other X-Men search for Jean to bring her home safely and others seek her for vengeance, Charles scrambles to protect not only Jean and the mutant race, but also the entire world.

This newest installment of the young X-Men prequel series of the X-Men franchise picks up after the events of Apocalypse.  The story is interesting with edge-of-your-seat action, a talented cast, and brilliant visual affects, but the story bring viewers to a crossroad: this movie will either require an additional movie in this prequel series to bring the stories back into alignment or totally disregard the original X-Men trilogy.  Fans of the superhero/sci-fi genre or of the X-Men: First Class movies will find this thrilling action movie highly enjoyable, but fans of the series as a whole will most likely find the ending of Dark Phoenix disappointing.
