The New Mutants, directed by Josh Boone is the latest in the Marvel X series, and to me at least, it's an odd one.
Seemingly a new take on John Hughes' wonderful 1985 The Breakfast Club, it brings together a group of oddball
youth - five of them, same as Breakfast Club - in a hospital for oddball youth, with special problems.
While it has a few interesting moments, it never seems to know where it going, or wants to be, as it surges
onward toward a wonderfully sounding (thank you Dolby Atmos) ending.
Possibly I'm just not the target audience.
I did make note of one thing in that it credits Film Editors, while there is no film to edit. Possibly a new term is
in order?
To point, the production was shot with the new Panavision Millennium, which we previously saw via
the 4k Blu-ray of Midsommar, and this is what may, at least on a tech level, make this disc worth
owning. Overall resolution, along with color is beautifully rendered.
