Storyline

The X-Men. Protectors of peace. Jean Grey is one of the most beloved X-Men. But when a mission goes wrong, Jean is exposed to a dark and ancient power. This power has destroyed everything it comes in contact with, until her. Now that this power is becoming unstable, she releases it with destruction and anger. Now that this foreign power is consuming her, and the world is threatened, the X-Men have to face an important truth: they must save either the world, or their friend who threatens it.

Goofs

The film is set in 1992, 30 years after the events of X-Men: First Class, yet the characters have barely aged during the intervening years. A few mutants have anti-aging abilities, but not all of them. This movie is set in an alternate timeline, so all continuity errors are justified.

Quotes

[first lines]
Jean Grey: Who are we? Are we simply what others want us to be? Are destined to a fate beyond our control? Or can we evolve? Become... something more?
