In this terrifying, action-fueled film based on the MARVEL comic series, five young people who demonstrate special powers are brought to a secret institution to undergo treatments they are told will cure them of the dangers of their powers. Included are Danielle Moonstar aka Mirage (Blu Hunt), who creates illusions from other people's fears; Rahne Sinclair (Maisie Williams), who transforms into the werewolf Wolfsbane; Sam Guthrie (Charlie Heaton), who, as Cannonball, can fly at jet speeds protected by a force field; Roberto da Costa aka Sunspot (Henry Zaga), who absorbs and channels solar power; and Illyana Rasputin aka Magik (Anya Taylor-Joy). The younger sister of Colossus, Magik becomes encased in armor at will and wields a soulsword that amplifies her multiple superhuman and psychic abilities. Invited by Dr. Cecilia Reyes (Alice Braga) to share their stories about when their powers first manifested, the five "patients" come to understand that they are in a class of people called mutants, who have historically been marginalized and feared. As they relive their origin stories, their memories seem to turn into terrifying realities. Soon, they question what is real and what isn't, and it becomes clear that the institution isn't what it seems. Now the question is - why are they being held captive? And who is trying to destroy them? The tension and horror mount in this white-knuckle thrill ride directed by Josh Boone and co-written by Boone and Knate Lee.

My favourite X-men movie. It is dark and angular, unlike almost all regular X-men smash 'em ups. Romantic and cuddly it ain't. Think of 'One flew over the cuckoos nest', with a comparable ending, mashed with the distraught narative of 'Logan' the last X-men movie, with a much happier ending. Thats approximates the movie in my opinion. I suspect the follow-on movies will be main stream, but the original 'origin movie' is always the best.

I don't understand all the hate that this movie is getting. Okay, it isn't the horror that was promised and it might have a few deleted scenes from the trailers we were given but, it's still an enjoyable watch. 1 star isnt fair. I've seen movies rated 3 star that were garbage and this is not a bad movie at all.

I ask my mum so much if we could watch this but she says no bc the door bit on the yt trailer was uncomftable for her so yea but other than that i love it,there might be a few jump scares but yea i rlly love this avengers show (this is the only avengers show i rlly love) heh.
