I'm fairly lenient were it is concerned to comic to film productions, and with that in mind I enjoyed this film. I haven't seen it since 1996 (I taped over my recording), but I thought that it was pretty good. The characters weren't as close as one would like, but it was still really fun seeing the four-color characters brought to life.
It was on as a late-night movie where I live about eight months ago and I watched and enjoyed it again. Heather McComb was a standout as Jubilee. Hey, I didn't even have to look at the cast list to remember her name. Neato.
It wasn't anything to write home about, but it was at least a fun adaptation. I mean, how many comics have been made into films anyway. Gen X fans should be proud.
Have a good day then.

Though it is in no way as good as the latest X-Men movie, X2: X-MEN UNITED, GENRATION X is still good for being the first to star characters from Marvel's most influential comic line.
To be made in 1996 and only for television, This movie does in no way fall into the same boat as the other attempt to bring Marvel to the small screen,FANTASTIC FOUR(1994?). I have to admit the special effects were cheesy and the acting could have been better, the movie was still good and the action was still compelling. I had the opportunity to read the comic not long after the movie premiered on FOXtv and it goes very well with the story and the characters are cool.
If you have the opportunity to see this film, it will be worth your while. Enjoy.

A few years ago, the people at FOX produced a little tele-movie based on the newer comic book installment of the famous mutants..."Generation X". I was eagerly awaiting the film. Hoping it to be cool. I recorded it, and watched it. I did enjoy it. But, then again I was 10 years old. I am 14 now. So now I realize how crappy it is. It isn't horrible, the new "Godzilla", and "Psycho" re-make take that award. But, it is a less than average movie. i wish it was more like the comic. But, oh well. Hopefully the X-men movie will be better. But, then again maybe it won't. Maybe Spiderman. Nah. Hey, they are both to be directed by Bryan Singer and David Fincher. That's something good. Chris Columbus should get Fantastic Four.
Quite frankly this Tv movie wasn't that bad. the actors did the best they could but it had such a terrible script. First off the whole concept of dream dimensions should have been thrown in the garbage. why can't writers just write a simple story? why do they have to complicate stories with some life altering philosophy? its superhero movie!! based on some pretty serious issuses (racism) so why try to fix something if its not broken?!!! The actors did a good job i think. some changes to the movie from the comic were understandable. i mean not every adaptation is always exact, come on lets be realistic. One thing though they should have mentioned the X-men in some point of the movie. thats all just drop a comment like well the owners of the house are away or Prof.Xaviar has left us in charge of you. or something referring to the X-men hell they're in their mansion!. Anyhow the actors weren't that bad, im sorry to hear that the entire cast from this movie has been scrapped and will be replaced with a new one. Oh well at least i was smart enough to tape it.
not too bad a film it compared favourably in my mind with 2002's X Men but much more interesting. I really enjoyed it the first time I saw it but it wasnt memorable. Being a big Sci-Fi fan i watch all Sci-Fi movies when shown on TV and could not remember if i had seen this one till about five minutes in but stuck with and enjoyed it.
