Description: A phoenix, they say, rises from the ashes. But *Dark Phoenix* (2019), despite its fiery premise and talented cast, struggles to ignite. This isn't a failure of spectacle; the visual effects are undeniably impressive. Instead, the film falters in its exploration of Jean Grey's internal conflict, leaving a sense of unfulfilled potential. The weight of immense power and the struggle for self-control are themes tackled, yet lack the emotional depth to truly resonate. While flashes of brilliance exist, ultimately, *Dark Phoenix* remains a somewhat hollow spectacle, a cosmic tragedy more suggested than experienced. The exploration of inner demons is present, but feels superficial, leaving the viewer wanting a more profound delve into the character's psyche. A missed opportunity to truly soar.
