LouHomey From my favorite movies..
Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
somestolemyusername-66892 "Honest Trailers" by Screen Junkies did an amazing job reviewing this title... but, long story short: It's a gold painted turd. High production quality, expensive cgi, and OK acting, but plot is 0/10.I'd pay to not have to watch it again.
ThatFilmGuy92 In a bizarrely stylish futuristic world where Marius Pontmercy and his equally savage siblings, that model no one remembers the name of and that guy who played Romeo in that sappy 2013 adaptation, are heirs to the universe, it's up to Magic Mike and Jackie Burkhart to restore peace to the solar system. Sounds hokey, huh? Well, the story is one of the many issues at hand with this movie. Andy and Lana Wachowski, the pair responsible for the Matrix series, brings us Jupiter Ascending, the latest in a string of failures, following Speed Racer and Cloud Atlas.The real issue at hand here is not wasted talent (and trust me, it's wasted), it's Michael Giacchino's score that sounds like an embarrassing rip-off of John Williams' Star Wars music. From epic chorals to an overuse of the string quartet, the music is really enough to make you want to leave the theater.Channing Tatum and Mila Kunis star in this sci-fi wreck that's more likely to be a movie from the SyFy network. If you're looking for chemistry that works, you're not going to find it here. However, you will find actors who have been known to have much more promising work, like Tatum as a Lycan-human wannabe, fresh off from Foxcatcher where, out of the three main stars, two were nominated for Oscars, but alas, Tatum wasn't. Kunis, more famous recently for her roles in critically-acclaimed films such as Black Swan and Ted, is clearly devoted to the role of Jupiter Jones; however, the screenplay does not play to her strengths.But the real surprise, surprise role here is from Eddie Redmayne, who plays the film's main antagonist, a ruthless alien who whispers most of his lines and occasionally shouts, only to have his voice crack as if he'd never gotten past puberty. Now I'm a fan of Redmayne, but this movie is bound to give him a Razzie nomination for Worst Supporting Actor, just after he won Best Actor for playing Stephen Hawking.From overlong chase scenes with colors and noise that makes you want to cover your ears for the remaining two hours, Jupiter is an exercise in patience and not having a spasm from the insane colors. 2.5/5.
sushantmondal-107-897066 The premise of a chosen one is faulty. The genes have to be in the exact same order. To be fair even in our own bodies genes are never in the same exact order and are in a constant state of flux. Women in particular are chimeras as sometimes one x chromosome switches on, while the second x chromosome switches on in other cells. The sci fi genre audience is smart, and the story should be believable - but due to massive gaps in story it fells like its made for dumb people who want to just see action. The graphics are stunning, but character development is poor. Come on, the girl discovers advanced tech and knows how to use them intuitively? And why does everyone keep saving them, the premise of rebirth is so stupid. The earlier movie the cloud atlas atleast had some story even though the execution was lacking. The best the Wachowskis have done is the matrix trilogy, especially the first film. It has been downhill since. Enjoy the movie for graphics, its a one time watch and forget.
angelinakontini This film has a unique way of illustrating the future and has a rather dystopian feel to it. This is the interesting part though, inside this dystopian reality, a tale of hope, courage and heroism unfolds. The special effects are amazing, the futuristic gadgets total fun, a hero and a girl add a romantic aspect to it and there are a lot of space fights. Some of the action scenes were too long for my taste, but the story was thoroughly entertaining and I wish there was a sequel. The whole atmosphere of the movie reminded me "Thor: Rangarok", probably due to the dystopian setting.
