Disappointing effort. WARNING SOME SPOILERS!!!

Rating: Null/10 (9 August 2000)

Mutants are becoming more and more common in future society, but people turn against them. Forcing the mutants to form two sides; the good guys (X-Men) and the bad guys. The bad guys make a threat towards the world and kidnap (literally) one of the X-Men in a plan to turn the normal citizens of New York into mutants.
Script shows some signs of intelligent intentions, but the direction is lacking as though the director didn't know what to do with the material and it quickly wears out its welcome. Got to admire some of those eleborate sets and special effects though. Anna Piquin is pretty good and underrated actress Famke Jennsen is good in her role.
On the overall though, a major disappointment. My rating: 5 out of 10.
