⭐ Plot Review

Set ten years after the collapse of the old mutant order, the world is entering a fragile era of uneasy peace. Mutations are evolving faster than ever, giving birth to a new wave of powerful — and unpredictable — young mutants.

When a cosmic anomaly known as The Celestial Rift appears and begins awakening dormant abilities across the planet, a mysterious force threatens both humans and mutants.
The young X-Men must rise under the mentorship of Cyclops and Jean Grey to face a new enemy: Astra, a telepathic warlord from another dimension who seeks to merge realities into her “perfect world.”

The story intertwines emotional discovery, identity, and the responsibility of power — a return to classic X-Men themes.

⚡ Action & Visuals

The film delivers the biggest set pieces in the franchise:

• A chaotic mutant outbreak in Tokyo

• A gravity-warping battle inside the Rift

• Nightcrawler’s expanded teleport-chase sequence

• Dafne Keen’s X-23 in a brutal, high-speed highway fight

• The final dimensional-collapse showdown with Astra

The visual effects are sleek, colorful, and dynamic, blending comic-book flair with modern sci-fi energy.

🎭 Performances

• Sophie Turner brings maturity and control to Jean Grey, now a leader rather than a threat.

• Tye Sheridan plays a more confident, seasoned Cyclops.

• Dafne Keen is the standout as X-23 — fierce, emotional, and absolutely scene-stealing.

• The new cast of young mutants adds freshness and humor without feeling forced.

👁️ Villain

Astra is one of the franchise’s strongest villains in years — calm, philosophical, and terrifying in her convictions. Her telepathic duels with Jean Grey are some of the film’s best moments.

🧬 Themes

The film returns to the heart of X-Men:

• accepting differences

• mentorship

• generational change

• the struggle to coexist in a rapidly evolving world

It’s emotional, surprisingly intimate, yet still spectacular.

✅ Verdict

“X-Men: The New Age” is the soft reboot fans have been waiting for — ambitious, stylish, and full of heart.
It revitalizes the franchise with new ideas while respecting everything that came before.

⭐ 8.7/10 — A bold new beginning for Marvel’s most iconic team.
