Cinderella by way of Dune, Jupiter Ascending is the silly daydream of a 12 year old girl mixed with the silly daydream of a 14 year old boy. One of those fake movie trailers that you see in comedies like Tropic Thunder but now as an actual feature film. Surprisingly, at times I kinda.. enjoyed this. Yeah, I'm disappointed in me too. Must be the almost gleeful embracing of its own silly premise and just rolling with it, mixed with cool designs and a setting with some potential.

Some of the acting is passable, and the visual effects and action are pretty superb at times. Unfortunately, this feels very rushed. There is a lot of story cramed into a two hour movie. I actually got confused for awhile because the movie just doesn't let what just happened sink in with you before hurrying to the next scene. The love story isn't convincing at all and I don't think Kunis was a very good lead. It's ambitious and pretty, but that's about it.

I have a soft spot for this pointy-eared batshit space opera Thumbelina featuring galactic fallen angels, Freudian reincarnation and Eddie Redmayne shouting evil deeds like a boomer chain smoker whispering sweet nothings through a floor fan. It's so focused on world-building it doesn't realize everything looks and sounds like garbage. It's also a near-perfect fairy tale masquerading inside a young adult dime novella and that's it's own kind of impressive.

This is no 'The Matrix'. Not even close. If anything, it's the next 'John Carter'. The story is a derivative mess, and the bland turns from Kunis and Tatum are as boring as the ugly action scenes. A dud, albeit a just about watchable one.

Seems like they edited this goddamn thing with a chainsaw. I read a comment somewhere that said this was like watching three three-hour sci-fi epics stuffed into 120 minutes, which I agree with. A cool image floats by every once in awhile, but this is too frigging misguided, shapeless and esoteric to be enjoyable. The director's cut might be worth checking out one day. Emphasis on "might."

The self-discovery journey has a passive and bland protagonist, the space politics plot is interesting but confusing, and the shallow romantic arc feels purely obligatory. Nothing works, and the serious tone, poor dialogue ("I love dogs"), and mediocre turns and VFX don't help. With the ending repeat of Jupiter's life on earth I almost forgave it all as a weird character growth metaphor, but then wolf-man boyfriend comes zooming in again on his sky skates and he's grown wings now and.. yeah.

Formulaic uneven and poorly-executed sub plots and oh so predictable and hectic writing, uneven pace and naive plot (although some intriguing world-creation) make for a dysfunctional film that is trying very hard to reach the WOW factor and epic proportions of Cloud Atlas. The zero chemistry between the leads and the massive overacting of Redmayne in comparison to Mila Kunis' low-key performance - as if acting in very different films - don't add much. Costumes - what the fuck. Effects - meh.

A kind of interstellar Cinderella tale, but where she gets to keep BOTH the prince AND the household chores. It is difficult to decide about these two filmmakers whether they simply have a juvenile sensibility that leads to kitschy efforts such as this one, or whether, perhaps for reasons to do with the generally anti-capitalist vibe they seem to like to inject into their films, they have some kind of bad conscience that leads them to deliberately sabotage their own chance at profitability.

Beautiful and dumb. (Spoilers) As I was watching it my mind was saying "I should love this movie, but I don't." Why? Three reasons: 1) The story: "Jup" gets kidnapped three times. 2) I'm probably a weirdo but the talking and long actions scenes don't bug me: "I like dogs" ROFLMAO. What bugs me is that they came at 100% the expense of any character development at all. 3) As the new queen she could work to make Earth & The Verse a better place but nope she wants to scrub toilets. I'm serious.

This film showcases effete British space villains, space rollerblades, faaaabulous Joan Riveresque costumes, Potato eating Russkis, Area 51 aliens, and talking winged crocodiles from OZ. It's the 80's Flash Gordon sans charisma or camp value and the high budget cum rag you would expect from the Wachowskis horned up off Matrix residuals. However, there are nice visuals here buried under horse turd space fantasia. It's not total diarrhea but it's certainly a waste of time ala. Moonwalker.

A young girl with a personality deficit gets caught up in a 3-way relationship with a space werewolf and an immortal space vampire. Welcome to Twilight: Jovian Dawn. A real mess of a movie, shamelessly 'borrowing' elements from dozens of classic sci-fi pieces but failing to turn them into anything remotely engaging or coherent. Even the action sequences (the one thing the Wachowskis are known for doing well) are barely above Michael Bay standards.

I think that this film only excels in the eye-candy department; the animations were and the action scenes were decent. However, the whole film felt rushed to me; scenes did not feel complete at times. Furthermore, I did not care about the characters at all, because they were not fleshed out well, and the romance part felt tacked on; the result was a teenage romance idea that made me cringe. Expect no substance at all, but a badly paced film, resulting in a bore. Could have been so much more!

Cool elements can still make a disappointing whole. Not that it didn't look great, and not that it was the stupidest thing I've ever seen, either. My problem was, I expected chicken salad. I got... cucumber salad. Still okay, just not what it could be. Nobody has to (or is asked to) stand out performance-wise. Too little is asked logic- and motivation-wise. Bad script and strange (not in a good way) editing. As forgiving as I am to Sci-Fi, I couldn't come to a point of true enjoyment with this.

A few neat visuals try and fail to support a very busy plot heavy on exposition and light on characters worth caring about. Not to mention how groan-worthy the plot is: The protagonist returns home after being kidnapped only to be immediately kidnapped again! Chemistry between the actors is non-existent, everyone's just kinda there. Also this is minor but when Kunis puts the pad on Tatem's wound SHE PUTS THE STICKY SIDE FACE DOWN WTF HOW DO YOU MESS THAT UP

This is not nearly as bad as advertised but it is just as silly. As long as you go in with the expectation that their will be camp, then everything is pretty fun. The script is the biggest problem for me as jumps around without care. Redmayne is...something else. He makes a few choices and then just runs with it. The Wachowskis make films that they want to see, which is commendable.

Apparently the Matrix was a fluke. Kunis' character is a virtual blank w/ no discernible interests or connection to anyone other than her mom. Worse, she's so empty & non-proactive that even discovering she's alien royalty barely registers. Only an actress with a mountain of charisma could pull this off. Tatum isn't any better as a hero whose satyr-on-rollerblades appearance just makes him look silly. Even the CGI space battles are bad since it's never clear what the hell the heroes are fighting

If I never again have to look at Mila Kunis' blank doll-face in a movie, it will be to soon. The film itself, however, is a two hour long dream-sequence of the the kind you get if you eat a dozen very glittery cupcakes and then watch a movie-marathon of the Matrix series, Underworld series and the Star Wars prequels. It is a glorious train-wreck of a movie and I am happier for having seen it.

The fact that this is a movie is both depressing and enlightening. Depressing because it's made by the same people that did The Matrix. Enlightening because it is a true space opera (just not a good one). I would love to see more movies of this calibre, just not ones that are so awful. Although the world building and universe they create cannot be denied, that doesn't mean it needs to be remembered.

The 1st half of the movie is confusing. They did a very poor job at explaining what was going at first. Then the 2nd half of the movie kicks off. What an imaginative concept on par with The Matrix but executed like Paul Blart Mall Cop. If a lot more directing, storyline, & acting ability went into this film then it could have rivaled the best in the genre. Instead you get flabby Channing Tatum and "deer in headlights" Mila Kunis

So much potential in the story line and the characters, but NOTHING WAS DEVELOPED. Like nothing. They show you a character, makes you curious and it NEVER appears again in the movie. What happened to them? Doesn't matter, here's a 10-minute-scene where elf-Channing is surfing through the sky with his gravity defying rollerblades(that was cool, I admit, who needs hoverboards anymore!!!) fighting god knows what while Mila is just...there. Looking pretty. No acting detected. CGI was superb though.

Waste of potential. Visually it looks good, there clearly is enough lore for a potentially interesting story. Unfortunately it is completely underdeveloped, we only get to see fractions of this seemingly huge universe. And what we see are mostly clichéd scenes and characters. A bit of a chaotic mess, characters and plot themes get introduced and then suddenly disappear completely. Has one of the lamest villains, a caricature. Performances are not good, Mila Kunis in particular was unconvincing.

started off feeling that kunis was ill-equipped for this role, but then i began worrying about whether i felt that way because i was boxing her as a particular brand of heroine just like the various villains do to her character. it's cool this is the kind of movie which insists on that kind of introspection. i mean, boy oh boy is this a lot of movie, much of it generic or misguided, but it's also among the more endearingly earnest & feminist of this recent spate of silly sci-fi blockbusters.

I really like their style, so I'm willing to forgive that the script is so-so. At least it's an original script, and you can tell from every frame of any Wachowski film that they're giving 100%. Visually a creative firework, with great attention to detail. Jupiter Ascending is what John Carter should have been. Mila Kunis wasn't a great fit though.

Jupiter Ascending is one of those few movies that needed to be longer than it was, not shorter. It would work as a two-part miniseries, or a film as long as individual Lord of the Rings movies. There's so much to explore that the movie takes far too much time giving us exposition. By the time that's out of the way, it's almost over, and there's so much more to explore. It's coherent, beautiful, and gives us an interesting universe in which to spend two hours, but more of it would be much better.

There's a lot of hate going on for this one, it's mostly unfounded. "Jupiter Ascending" hearkens back to a day when sci-fi movies were just fantasy movies with technology or space in them, they didn't need to have any modicum of realism, they didn't need to make sense. You can take a lot of liberties when making a sci-fi universe like that, and the Wachowski's do, but the problem is that they've never been very good at writing and directing. Competent, but not good.

Felt sort of like Tron: Legacy to me in that Jupiter Ascending has great visual effects, and some interesting ideas, but a weak story and with this film having some questionable dialogue. "I have more in common with a dog than I have with you." To which the response is "I love dogs, I've always loved dogs." Um, Okay? So overall, with some touch ups on the script, this could have been a good film, instead, it is simply an entertaining film.

The characters suck and they've got uncharismatic meathead Tatum & miscast Kunis playing the leads & a ridiculous performance from Redmayne. Jupiter is supposed to be special, but all she does is get kidnapped & saved by Tatum. Some ok visuals & a couple of pretty decent action scenes, but they don't make up for the stupid, boring & clunky film.

When did people stop being entertained by nonsense? The narrative is a disaster, the characters likewise and the screenplay is all over the place. There's also the clear sense that the Wachowski's have spent a great deal of time carrying out some very detailed world building, but they manage to only give you fumbling glimpses of what could've been something genuinely interesting. But, despite the myriad of flaws that this film has I couldn't help but be a little swooned by its campy stupidity.

Jupiter Ascending is The Wachowski's ambitious Star Wars/Star Trek/Ender's Game lovechild, but it really isn't worth the whole time it takes to watch it. While it is stunning in its cinematography and CGI, it contains little to no coherent plot, and what it does have is led by weak characters with weaker motivations. Not much in terms of story, but it sure does look nice... at least.

It's just as bad as people make it out to be. Please stay away.. And dammit, stop hiring Channing Tatum--he's awful.

Whisper whisper. Has the right ingredients, but rushes through a 240-minute story in two hours. It's called "Christopher-Nolan-syndrome", I think. Still, it's exactly my kind of sci-fi cheese. And Gilliam was my highlight. :D

The hero has an invincible shield and the ability to block nearly anything. Jupiter, exposed to a galaxy-spanning civilization, decides she prefers cleaning toilets to exploring it (at least she takes to hover boots ^^;) -sigh- humans...

Too vivid imagination mixed with a level of stupidity in the script that is hard to grasp makes it entertaining for all the wrong reasons. I guess the book explains all of it much better... wait, are you saying there is no book?

A disillusioned house-cleaner (Mila Kunis) is genetically identical to the Queen of the Universe, and so must assume her rulership of the Earth so as to prevent its destruction by an intergalactic corporation run by squabbling siblings. Ridiculous, messy outing from the Wachowskis, with striking (if wildly erratic) production design and expensive special effects wasted on a murky, derivative story. Kunis is miscast, and a decent cast is mostly wasted on shallow and superfluous characters.

The plot was bad. The lead actors are wooden and should not star in any movie ever until they learn how to act. The movie was interesting though, in how unique it was. Weird, creative, interesting, some good classic sci fi and I love that. A recommended watch if you can shut down your brain and just enjoy the pretty images and the trip through your imaginary.

Jupiter Ascending is a very pretty movie, with lots of gorgeous makeup, costumes, and special effects. Unfortunately, all of these things have far more character than the actual characters, or the plot, for that matter. It's a good movie to see in IMAX 3D if you just want to turn your brain off for a couple hours and enjoy something really pretty, though. I can recommend it for that.

It's like someone very high up said: "Okay guys, here is X dollars, now go and make me a stupid blockbuster", and the Wachowskis said: "No probs, but we'll do it our way". It is stupid but also funny and charming in a kitsch way.

From the directors that brought us the "The Maxtrix" and the silly "Speed Racer", this movie brings us boring action and a plot so full of itself to have fun. At points it is hard to tell if the things in the movie are homage or just laziness by ripping, wholesale, parts of better Sci-Fi franchises. If the romance was replaced with character and world development, the movie would be a lot better. "Guardiains of the Galaxy" this is not.

Credit for doing something different, but this really wasn't for me. Questionable performances, a mess of a plot: a huge step down from Cloud Atlas, as great as it looks.

Watchable just for the stunning visuals, I suspect this has been edited over the last year to make it more palatable (and by the numbers) after the studio started panicking. There are a number of subjects like gene splicing that are mentioned and then glossed over as if they hit a cutting room floor.Same with character motivations for the royal family members.

I wanted to love this - I eat up anything space opera and am a Wachowskis fan (not Cloud Atlas so much, but I've seen The Matrix at least thirty times). And it has its merits in its fun, enticing mythology and attractive imagery. But it's also mired in ponderous exposition. Some action scene are fun, others go on wayyy too long. So-so acting at best; Kunis, Bean and Redmayne all phone it in, and Channing, who has grown into a pretty damn fine actor, reverts back to circa 2009 GI Joe blandness.

If there was ever any question that the Wachowski's were mid-talent hacks who got super lucky with the Matrix by basically co-opting other stuff and packaging it well, here's your answer.

The Wachowskis deliver a fascinating new universe, driven by a plot that of course centers around a bureaucratic boondoggle in an evil capitalistic system. It's full of exposition, strange mythology, plot holes, and unused symbols. However, it's also full of weird aliens in cool fight scenes, and I'm a giant nerd, so it was pretty okay overall.

Jupiter Ascending offers a unique and visually stunning take on the space opera genre. What sets it apart is its serious tone and commitment to storytelling, avoiding the forced humor common in modern sci-fi. The Wachowskis' distinct directorial style creates an immersive experience through exceptional production value and ambitious set pieces. Don't let the ratings discourage you - this unique space epic deserves more recognition for its creativity and vision.

I do understand that this movie isn't targeted to me - it's clearly a girl's sci-fi fantasy about being a princess and having multiple people fight over you. But man is this dull. Terrible acting, a boring story, generic action. The rare movie where I never engaged at all and just shook my head at every decision being made on the flat screen in front of me. I laughed at every expensive suit and makeup on background characters, knowing no one will ever care about that work.

I don't know what is going on half the time and then BAM ass or sum shi. Personally, it feels like the type of movie that you would leave on in the background at a get together. Also Channing Tatum's face.
