Storyline:

When a “cure” is created, which apparently can turn any mutant into a “normal” human being, there is outrage amongst the mutant community. While some mutants do like the idea of a “cure”, including Rogue, many mutants find that there shouldn’t be a “cure”. Magneto, who still believes a war is coming, recruits a large team of mutants to take down Warren Worthington II and his “cure”. Might seem easy for the X-Men to stop, but Magneto has a big advantage, which Wolverine doesn’t have. Jean Grey has returned, and joined with Magneto. The Dark Phoenix has woken within her, which has the ability to destroy anything in her way, even if that “anything” is an X-Man.

About X-Men: The Last Stand Movie:

• X-Men: The Last Stand (also marketed as X3: The Last Stand, or X-Men 3) is a superhero film based on the X-Men comic books published by Marvel Entertainment Group.
• It is the sequel to X2 (2003), as well as the third installment in the X-Men film series, and was directed by Brett Ratner.
• Bryan Singer, who had directed the two previous films, X-Men (2000) and X2, decided to leave the sequel to work on Superman Returns (2006).
• X2 composer and editor John Ottman and X2 writers Dan Harris and Michael Dougherty also left to work on Superman Returns, as did James Marsden, who had very limited screen time in The Last Stand before his character was killed off due to his departure from the film. Singer had not even defined the storyline for a third film. Matthew Vaughn, who was initially hired as the new director, left due to personal and professional issues, and was replaced with Ratner.
• Filming took place from August 2005 to January 2006 with a budget of $210 million, and was consequently the most expensive film made at the time of its release. It had extensive visual effects created by 11 different companies.

The two-disc edition came with a 100-page commemorative comic book with a new story written by X-Men co-creator Stan Lee, his first original Marvel comic book in five years. The DVD sold 2.6 million units in its first day, exceeding Fox’s expectations, and sold a total 5 million in its first week. A Blu-ray edition was issued in November 2006.
