Jupiter Ascending (2015)

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Unfortunately, the story can not keep up with the visuals/design of Jupiter Ascending. But still entertaining - if you like movies such as The Fifth Element, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, Guardians of the Galaxy, John Carter, Green Lantern, Immortal etc. comes to mind.Fantasy sci-fi with superb visual powers, a fine cast, and well, sadly, a little too generic story - a more interesting story, this movie would have been top notch.

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 felt cerebrally exhausted watching JA. More so than any Tarkovsky/Bergman/Kieslowski film. Because I just couldn't figure out what the hell I was watching. It is satire? What is it saying? Why is so cliched, while in the extras everyone on set is saying how original the Wachoskis are, and never settle for anything unoriginal? Is the whole thing a Hollywood joke? Are the Wachowskis angry about something (the critical reception to the Matrix sequels) and punishing us? I just couldn't figure it out. The film itself is terrible. The characters, acting, story, makeup, dialogue -everything about it was painful. Genuinely, The Room is a better is a better and more coherent film. I can't even say it 'looked gorgeous' or that the CGI was 'breathtaking' because it wasn't - the whole thing looks like a greenscreen digital computer game. Nothing is plausible as 'reality', every aspect of it is phony. I just don't get it. I thought The Commuter was the worst film I'd seen in recent years, but JA is the worst film I have EVER seen. I just can't understand how it came from the same people who made Bound and The Matrix. They clearly need help on some level.

The movie has such good grafics and could've been a great one but hollywood did it again. The scipt is just the worst, trying to make a sciencefiction / action movie more apealing for women with love, drama and uncomfortable scenes of a ordinary life of a girl. With some extra gay scenes and afro american characters this would be perfecly PC. I wich they would go back to making movies for the story rather than making them for an audience.
