TheWrapAlonso DuraldeFeb 2, 2015
Who cares if the story is occasionally impenetrable or if some gags land with a thud when the thrills and the eye candy keep coming at such a breathless pace? Jupiter Ascending doesn’t break the new ground that the Wachowskis have managed in the past...but the film never slacks in its efforts to wow us. Read full review

HitfixDrew McWeenyFeb 2, 2015
Fast, frequently teetering on the cusp of the ridiculous, and eye-poppingly pretty, Jupiter Ascending is a wicked slice of entertainment, and a heck of an antidote to the typical February box-office blahs. Read full review

The movie's a fascinating mess, grand and gaudy, often hilarious. Read full review

ReelViewsJames BerardinelliFeb 5, 2015
Jupiter Ascending feels like a truncated, Cliffs Notes version of something that might have worked a lot better as a mini-series. Two hours is too short for this tale and the end result suffers greatly because of that restriction. Read full review
