Released in 2019, Dark Phoenix, directed by Simon Kinberg, serves as the final chapter of the X-Men franchise under 20th Century Fox. Adapting the iconic "Dark Phoenix Saga" from the comics, the film focuses on Jean Grey’s (Sophie Turner) tragic transformation into an uncontrollable cosmic force.Set in the 1990s, the story follows the X-Men, led by Professor Xavier (James McAvoy), on a space mission that leads to Jean absorbing the cosmic Phoenix entity. This newfound power destabilizes her, sparking inner conflict and endangering the team, including Cyclops (Tye Sheridan) and Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence). Meanwhile, a mysterious alien (Jessica Chastain) seeks to exploit Jean’s power for sinister purposes.Dark Phoenix delivers stunning visuals, particularly in its space action sequences and climactic battles. Themes of sacrifice, self-control, and family anchor the story, though the plot feels less nuanced than its predecessors. Sophie Turner’s portrayal of Jean shines, capturing her emotional turmoil with intensity.

Running at 114 minutes, the film offers grand action and poignant moments, even if it falls short of fully satisfying comic fans. Dark Phoenix remains a worthy watch as an ambitious conclusion to the mutant saga, spotlighting Jean Grey’s strength and vulnerability in a thrilling, turbulent adventure.
