Jupiter Ascending (2015)

Now here are we talking about a really, really bad movie. Nothing works in this movie. Its extremely boring, the plot doesn't make sense and the actor walk around with an facial expression saying: what I'm doing in this mess? Above all that's the movie is pretentious and tries to be "serious" which fails pretty dismantle. The worst actor in this mess is the evil guy that walks around and whispers all the time. I guess the director thought that would be cool or creepy but it was nothing like that. Me and my son laugh so hard at this stupidity. Another extremely silly scene is the one in the barn where the bees attacks the queen but she doesn't get hurt. Then this moron that hangs around with the queen says: well you don't get hurt because the bees are trained not to hurt royalties. Really???? Hahahahahahaha If you have a really good patients or an ocean of time that you don't know how to spend on anything better you can sit through this train wreck. Otherwise I suggest you switch off after 10 minutes. It doesn't get any better anyway

I seem to be one of the very few people who loved this movie. The eternal oddball, that's me. I didn't like Mila Kunis much, to be honest. I never do. She's one of those actresses who wear the same face from the beginning to the end of amovie (in every movie), but I loved everything else. Visually, it must be one of the most beautiful movies I have ever seen. The costumes, the spaceships, the action scenes, the quirky little details, the photography... everything is magnificent. Amazing: a love story in a sci-fi movie! Amazing: eye candy for female viewers in a sci-fi movie! Amazing: Sean Bean makes it all the way to the end of the movie without being gruesomely slaughtered! I am not in any way enthusiastic about royals and royalty and all that crap, but here it works the same way it works in traditional fairytales. The whole plot of the movie is very much a traditional fairytale, Cinderella becomes a princess, the three adversaries, etc... It may not work for some, but it does or me. Lots of secondary characters that stand out as truly interesting and memorable, unlike so many movies where one or two great characters float in a void of appalling acting. I didn't know Eddie Redmayne before this movie and I know many ridiculed his performance here, but it made a perfectly convincing creepy villain for me. It is a movie that has its own strange purity, and courage too, using traditional narrative shapes that don't belong to the genre, weaving them together with elements of fantasy and comedy and romance... I suppose it could not work in this cynical time. I am sorry that it did so badly because I would have loved to spend more time in this universe, in a sequel (or two). It is such a different and colourful take on Sci-fi, a genre in which so many movies, books and series are basically interchangeable.

I don't get all the negative reviews for this film. It has action, decent acting, good sci fi effects and reasonable storyline. What I do see from some of the reviews is that some people appear to have lost the ability to just sit back and watch a film without constantly analysing and over analysing it. For goodness sake just watch a film for the fun of it! This is an enjoyable and very watchable film, I have watched it on repeats and don't bore of it, and the fact it has Channing Tatum in it is just the cherry on the top ;-)

Yes it is a hot mess but only because there is so much going on! this is not for the faint of heart or slow thinkers! So you people that love Romantic Comedies do not judge this because it is not your cup of tea. Now to the real mess: The cast was very well picked! all the evil you can handle and one girl with a hero doing everything he can to write the wrongs into a right! I love this movie just because of the philosophy and that is why it did very, very, very well in CHINA! But it seems that someone paid some people to slap bad publicity to this movie because it came out along side other movies at the box office. Oligarchy of our country is saturated with thugs and mobsters with deep pockets controlling our entertainment and our industries thus why this movie tanked in the USA, Give this movie another chance and watch it completely! Do not miss a single moment because every second explains the next and the scenes are wrapped up so perfectly that you will figure out why they mentioned or combined certain takes. I commend the cast and crew of this movie! What a great writer! a great Producer and what a good director managing thousands of crew members to do this perfect movie! When you think about it I have seen near perfect graphics , sound and actors but terrible writing and cuts that I just gave 3 to 4 stars but this one did not lack any information! I am begging for a sequel because there are so many unanswered questions, like where is the base located that rebuilds catastrophes? I am also up in arms on the planets she owns! She supposedly owns the whole galaxy! And with the son dead she is in charge of all the production but chances are the other son and daughter is snatching it up and have become stuarts of her estate. The sequel will probably focus on us being cows for the slaughter again but this time the Son that died probably promised the whole earth would be processed to a large consortium of investors that will do anything to invade earth due to a contract that was made and not accomplished. So this would be very interesting what they will do and I hope the same writers are back on the sequel. Praying for this sequel that really needs to answer the questions we have from the last. Hopefully the second time around will grow an occult following that will then push for a orgin Story made into a TV show or cartoon. We can only hope.
