X3: The Last Stand


X3: The Last Stand
Plot
-Months after losing Jean Grey, Scott Summers(Cyclops) is still grieving her death. One day, he decides to go to the place of her death. Then he starts to hear her voice in his head and out of control, he blasts the water with the laser beam out of his eyes. Suddenly, Jean Grey comes out of the water and he disappears. Elsewhere, humans have discovered what makes a mutant a mutant and have created a "cure" for mutants. This causes people to choose sides, choose to be human or a mutant. When Magneto gets wind of this, he decides to group together mutants against the cure and wage war with the humans. With Jean Grey back at the school, people think she is okay, but what not everyone realizes is that it is not Jean Gray, but the Phoenix. She has evolved into a creature who can't control her powers. And one day, when Professor Xavier goes to Jean's house, she ends up killing him with her powers. The final scenes of the movie reflect the fight between the mutants and the humans and it's up to Wolverine, who can heal himself automatically, to reach Jean and stop her before any more damage is done.
