X-Men

Born into a world filled with prejudice, some children possess extraordinary and dangerous powers – the result of genetic mutations. Cyclops unleashes bolts of energy from his eyes. Storm can manipulate the weather at will. Rogue absorbs the life force of anyone she touches. But under the tutelage of Professor Xavier (Patrick Stewart) these and other outcasts learn to harness their powers for the good of mankind.

Now they must protect those who fear them as the nefarious Magneto (Ian McKellan), who believes that humans and mutants can never co-exist, unveils his sinister plan for the future! Pulsing with state-of-the-art special effects and unforgettable characters, X-Men is X-traordinary.

Critic Reviews:

• " Ultimately, the story serves as a parable for intolerance, xenophobia, and us-versus-them mentalities – themes that are perpetually relevant and potent. " – Mike Massie

• " X-Men plays faithful to the comics while opening the doors to a larger universe to come. " – Danielle Solzman

• " Indeed, even Hugh Jackman was not cast in this role for his neon-lit global fame among the youth… although he earns a place in the starry firmament of cinema with this well judged performance. " – Andrew L. Urban
