Director Matthew Vaughn (Layer Cake, Kick-Ass) tells the true origins of the multi-billion dollar film franchise, guiding exceptional performances by Golden Globe-nominee James McAvoy (Atonement), Michael Fassbender (Inglourious Basterds), and Golden Globe-winner Kevin Bacon (Kevin Bacon, Mystic River). A "rare movie event that balances an intelligent story with solid performances, first-rate action and top-of-the-line special effects" (Ben Lyons, E!), X-Men: First Class has drawn an impressive $150 million at the domestic box office and nearly $350 million worldwide.
Before Charles Xavier (McAvoy) and Erik Lensherr (Fassbender) took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time, working together to stop the greatest threat the world has ever known. The film features a star-studded supporting cast, including Academy Award-nominee Jennifer Lawrence (Winter's Bone), January Jones (Mad Men), Rose Byrne (28 Weeks Later), Zoë Kravitz (Zoë Kravitz), Nicholas Hoult (A Single Man), Lucas Till (Walk the Line), and Emmy Award-nominee Oliver Platt (The West Wing).

aren't those covers supposed to mean front and back? Charles as the front, and Magneto as the back. Just saying.

Hope the covers shine! Magneto's is 9x cooler. Too bad I don't have a Blu-Ray player.
