Film Studies 8-14: Dark Phoenix

The final X-Men movie (for now) has been out for a couple of weeks now and we’re still playing catch-up. We checked out the somewhat maligned Dark Phoenix. It’s the re-telling of the famous Dark Phoenix comic book storyline with the new X-Men cast. Jean Gray has been hit by a space force that makes her powers stronger and uncontrollable and aliens are after her to steal her powers away. Yep, aliens.
