DARK PHOENIX (2019) Visual Review

David the Bruce • Jun 06, 2019

A Unique Review Using Graphic Visuals. Enjoy!

In DARK PHOENIX, the X-MEN face their most formidable and powerful foe: one of their own, Jean Grey. During a rescue mission in space, Jean is nearly killed when she is hit by a mysterious cosmic force. Once she returns home, this force not only makes her infinitely more powerful, but far more unstable. Wrestling with this entity inside her, Jean unleashes her powers in ways she can neither comprehend nor contain. With Jean spiraling out of control, and hurting the ones she loves most, she begins to unravel the very fabric that holds the X-Men together. Now, with this family falling apart, they must find a way to unite -- not only to save Jean's soul, but to save our very planet from aliens who wish to weaponize this force and rule the galaxy.

VISUAL REVIEW

Here is my visual review done in an original visual style with several graphics that work you through the film.

Well, not every film can be great. Dark Phoenix is an inconsistent end to an inconsistent series to be sure. Nonetheless it is entertaining. It even delves into questions worth considering:
(1)What do you do with the power given you?
(2)How do you handle personal tragedy that affects you to your very core?
Great questions from a not so great film.
