I don't even...it is not a movie it's like a fan fiction with images.
Cheap fx, terrible mix of Fantasy and Sci-fi, predictable dialogues.

Spectacular visuals, but cliche villian, silly railroaded plot, cringe dialogues and unlikable characters. Childish Cinderella in space story arc.

The cast is not bad at all, I didn't have a major problem with it. What I did have a problem with, however, was the overall story of the film and the creatures that appeared in it. It was as if they asked the screenwriter "What kind of creatures do you want in the movie?" and he said yes, ALL of them. Dragons, people with monkey ears, something like elves, but so be it.

The story starts in Russia, I know Russian and they could have done a little more with it. Otherwise, the story revolves around the classic cliché "Saving the Earth" theme.

Overall, I rate it 4/10… Expand

В общем так. Графика на высоте. Так же мне понравилось......а всё, мне не понравилось больше ничего.
Помня "братьев" Вачевски ещё по Матрицам, от фильма ждал многого. Но так и не дождался.
Актёры подобраны ужасно.
Сюжет такой закрученный, что кажется авторы даже сами не поняли, во что он вытечет в конечном итоге. Полная каша.
Я не знаю кто догадался дать девушке имя Юпитер. Юпитер, если что, это высший римский бог мужского пола с бородой и не просто мужского, а МУЖИК обрюхативший почти всю грецию и римскую империю! Если хотели назвать в честь планеты, то там есть три огромных спутника с женскими именами: Ио, Европа и Каллисто, выбирай любое. Как по мне это сильно портит повествование.
Хотя как потом выяснилось "братаны" Вачевски оказались трансгендерами. После этого всё стало на свои места. И девушка с мужским именем, и транс браки на планете, и вообще весь сюжет транс.
Короче фильм эта такая попытка "сестер" показать транс будущее как они его видят. Что ж, как показали оценки, это никому не интересно даже в сша.
С настороженностью жду Матрицу 4!!!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Kind of a Dune, Star Wars and 5th element mix. I actually don’t think that’s a good thing. There are some good parts, interesting story ideas and good special effects but it just doesn’t come together and hold up at all. I do like stories of ancient races that colonize the universe but not when the writing is dumb. I mean they’re talking about a civilization that has been around for a billion of years, you’d think that their societal evolution would be astronomically different. Sadly, it’s not in this movie. Truthfully I would probably have given it a 6 if it wasn’t for Eddie redmaynes performance and Channing Tatums eye make up and hair. In both cases, it was painful to look at.… Expand

Less than mediocre. Not for adults - perhaps teens, perhaps. No emotional weight of any kind. Main characters are irritating, if not unbearable.
I can barely finish writing this review. Writing it reminds me of the film!

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The motives/objectives of the trans-human which are slightly similar those of the humans in Vandread (2000) Anime just doesn't make much sense, especially if the trans-humans have developed advance biology & nanotechnology. There is no need to harvest humans.

I'll have to also agree with other reviewers who says it's similar to GotG (Guardians of the Galaxy) - the major difference being that the characters there were much more fun or interesting.

Otherwise the Special Effects could be considered eye candy for many viewers.… Expand

I do want to say anyway that I'm a little sad this movie got such negative scores and reviews. While I can understand those, I still believe the movie doesn't deserve such negativity.
Bottom line, I enjoyed watching the movie, and I wasn't disappointed. True, there are better ones.
Jupiter Ascending has its magic, it is very visually appealing and has a wonderful and fun soundtrack. The concepts behind the movie are nice, and again, it is fun to watch and experience.
The problems with Jupiter Ascending begin with a rather dull script at times, and ending with it being a blend of ideas and things we'd already seen in some other fantasy and sci-fi media. It gets worse when it also involves elements of young adult novels.

Oh well.
For a movie which borrows so much elements and ideas from other works it has its bits of originality, the quality of the acting swings from mediocre to pretty good (at times), and as I said before it IS visually stunning.

If you are a fan of the genre, if you don't expect anything revolutionary, and if you can stand the dull sides of the story, you should definitely give it a try. It's still fun to watch, despite the downsides.… Expand

Secret princess and flying shoes and space-magic and pretty dresses? Hell yes, sign me up. I don't mean that as a criticism either. Silly, mindless, over the top, fantasy/scifi can be fun and appealing. I think a lot of the glaring problems would have still been apparent but I could have probably overlooked them with a little more ease back then.

As an adult, the movie worked more as a curiosity. All of the fantastically hilarious descriptions of the movie, from Channing Tatum's dog-boy on flying roller blades to Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne's bizarre whisper-screaming performance, needed to be experienced first hand.

It's an incoherent, imaginative, CGI-fantasy-mess, with bizarre performances and pretty costumes and a silly plot but one that doesn't take itself too seriously. It's not a ~good~ movie but it's at least a memorable and harmless kind of bad.… Expand

Lo han vuelto hacer, se han superado, no se como demonios lo hacen, pero han conseguido hacer otra montaña de MIERDA, mas apestosa, mas pútrida y mas retrasada que su anterior bodrio El Atlas de las Nubes, haciendo que su carrera esté tanLo han vuelto hacer, se han superado, no se como demonios lo hacen, pero han conseguido hacer otra montaña de MIERDA, mas apestosa, mas pútrida y mas retrasada que su anterior bodrio El Atlas de las Nubes, haciendo que su carrera esté tan hundida, que Shyamalan a su lado es Steven Spielberg, porque encima la película se ha pegado un brutal hostión en la taquilla no lleva ni 20 millones recaudado y ha costado unos 200 millones.

¿Pero que ha pasado?, vamos a ver la cosa es muy sencilla, estos 2 muchachos, que todo el mundo se ultrapajeo a muerte con Matrix (quizas su único film decente) que llegando a cotas de exageración que rozaban la pura demencia, tildándola de obra maestra o revolución cinematográfica, cuando simplemente... era un refrito de ciencia ficción y ""homenajes"" al cine de acción de Hong Kong.

Luego ya salió las 2 siguientes de Matrix, y vieron que nada de nada, y si tiramos a sus proyectos post-Matrix, mas aun, con una espantosa y epiléptica Speed Racer, se dieron la leche, e intentaron buscarse otro público mas indie con El atlas de las nubes, pero al ser 2 directores mediocres flipados de la vida, hicieron un verdadero truño (porque no tienen ni puta idea de hacer películas con mensaje o temas mas metafísicos), al ver que no, pues vuelven a lo comercial y... otro hostión.

Siento este prólogo, pero debía soltarlo porque me parece que con El Destino de Júpiter han tocado fondo en el pozo de mierda donde se están hundiendo. El Destino de Júpiter nos cuenta la historia de una asistenta rusa, que tiene unos genes random, que coinciden con una reina muerta, que la hacen por derecho, dueña de la tierra, mientras que 2 de los herederos de la Tierra, se la quieren cargar, aparece un guardaespaldas medio lobo medio hombre, para protegerla. La premisa es interesante, si no vamos a negarlo, puede salir un space opera interesante, pero estando detrás esos dos putos inútiles en el guión y en la dirección, la cosa no va bien.

Primero empezamos con que la película carece de un trasfondo digno o bien desarrollado, porque estos señores en vez de hacerte un pequeño prólogo o cualquier recurso útil, para ponerte en situación de lo que esta sucediendo, lo dan todo por hecho, como si conociésemos a la familia Abraxas, que hay corporaciones intergalácticas, o la Egira, como si fuese Star Wars, que todo el mundo por cultura popular lo conoce o ha oído de ello, cuando esto ha salido de sus absurdas y ridículas cabezas.

Luego tenemos que el desarrollo de la película, es un puto caos integral, pasan cosas en la historia que son relevantes, y dan igual, te la suda lo que suceda, no hay tensión, no hay emoción, no hay nada, es una película vacía, sin alma, añadiendo además la confusión que sufres al ver que no te cuentan nada claro del trasfondo, que provoca al espectador que ni le prestes atención o interés al film, porque la misma pelicula ni siquiera se digna en explicártelo, sino en darlo todo por hecho, porque presuntamente lo conocemos.

Después las escenas de acción, los tíos cutres UTILIZAN LA MISMA SECUENCIA DE ACCIÓN TODO EL PUTO TIEMPO, que es el Chanim Tatum haciendo piruetas con sus patines mágicos y encima terrorificamente mal filmado, Matrix estaba soberbiamente bien filmada, ¿que pasa? Lana Wachowsky mató a Larry a palos y le sustituyo, y el que tenía el talento era él, GUARRA.

Y los diálogos, DIOS MIO, los cochambrosos diálogos, que producirán verdaderas carcajadas, descojone y vergüenza ajena, donde encontrareis perlas como estas:

"-¿Te fijaste porque no te picaron las abejas?. Las abejas están modificadas geneticamente para detectar a gente de Sangre REAL" ( Bien Felipe y cia pueden ir por cultivos de miel sin protección)

"-Están botas son antigravitatorias, repelen la fuerza de la gravedad y surfeo a través de ecuaciones"

Escena presuntamente Romántica

(Mila Kunis más caliente que el palo de un churrero con el Tatum)

-Me atraen los chicos equivocados, mi brújula está mal.
-Yo en realidad soy mas parecido a un perro que un hombre.
-Me encantan los perros.

Lo demás, que visualmente esta muy bien, y ya. No tiene nada mas salvable, evitadla como si fuese un puto leproso con Sida.… Expand

Writers/Directors The Wachowskis (The Matrix, Cloud Atlas) bring their action-packed “space-opera” to the big screen in a film that’s been described as a cross-between The Matrix and Star Wars, we could not think of a more unmerited comparison.

Sure you can expect all the action and effects that $175million will buy and some impressive visuals as well, but even there some of the effects are decidedly sub-standard and a couple of the entirely-CG characters are borderline laughable.

In the aspects that all films are ultimately judged on, story & characters, Jupiter Ascending leaves a lot to be desired, the plot is fantastical and original while somehow managing to be completely predictable and is ill-served by character performances that are at times reminiscent of a 1950s B-Movie.

There may be a parable in there about capitalism and the exploitation of the common by the powerful but that will be lost in all the explosions and laser-fire, ultimately it’s a journey of characters that you don’t care about and you know what will happen to from the beginning.

Clearly the The Wachowskis have not lost the ability to dream big but with every film since The Matrix there must be a question about their ability to deliver on the promise, we can’t help but think they would be perfectly suited to writing for the many young visionary directors currently out there.

We realize how difficult it must be to make major motion-pictures and obviously no one sets out to make a bad one but we can’t think of many redeeming qualities in Jupiter Ascending, this is not one of those films so bad that they’re good, it’s just quite bad.

We suspect Jupiter Ascending will be confined to the vault where films like Battlefield Earth reside, all action and no substance, this is one of those films you should probably only check-out on a flight.… Expand

Can you use one of your plotholes to go back in time to that night and change yourself into Pitch Black for me? No? You still have ambition? Fine, you want to make the world a better place then instead take all of that money you spent to make yourself and give Channing Tatum a temp job going around being charming and giving out hugs. Can you imagine that world? Channing Tatum charm and hugs for everyone and no Jupiter Ascending. Holy **** That. World. No you were not my worst, but you did ooze viscous mediocrity the whole time.

Tragically, it is like that hot girl who can barely string together a coherent sentence. It gets a 3 for the beauty, but everything else is irreparably bad. The CGI orgy on the screen every five seconds made it look like a Michael Bay film and the subject matter reminded me of Star Wars if they removed everything that made those films good. The dialogue is cringeworthy throughout and absolutely brain dead moronic. The acting is somehow worse than the dialogue with Eddie Redmayne truly stealing the show. Wow was he horrific. He was the conductor of this massive train crash and he went full speed ahead on that crazy train. What may be the worst feature of the film is that it is two hours yet feels like it was ten hours. It was never truly slow, but just dragged on and on and never seemed to end. An incredibly stupid film that should have been killed humanely before it ever had $175 million spent on its production, Jupiter Ascending is impressively bad.… Expand

What is wrong with the W'skis?! The Matrix trilogy was it for them?! When you're crafting a two-hour epic like "Jupiter Ascending" you better write the hell out of the first 10 or 15 minutes to ensure the audience has a reason to pay attention further - Screenwriting 101 people! Instead, we get a bunch of pregnant scenery, birthing on a steamship, action scenes that make no sense, girls talking of true love, and Mila Kunis not even trying to modulate her voice to anything other than "Meg" from "Family Guy"! With those types of disaster markings in the first 15-mins, why, why, would I watch for another 2-hrs?! This surely must've been written for pre-teen girls, gee thanks, W'skis.

A sci-fantasy directed by the Wachowskis of 'The Matrix' fame. Theirs lowest point ever as the filmmakers, but still not that bad flick. The movie lacked in many areas, and one of those is failing to have at least one stunning fight/war scene. I know it was only the beginning and there will be a sequel, maybe ends as a trilogy, but the story was very weak for an intro movie.

Looks like one-liner, precisely to say kind of similar to 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'. I mean in a thin idea, the whole story takes place. Something like a space expedition for a chosen one, hopping from a planet to planet, seeking answers and protection. The title character, Jupiter Jones, played by Mila Kunis, with the help of the Caine Wise (Channing Tatum) takes a risky venture when their lives were threatened. Finding who's behind and other truth brings the end of the narration, which runs for just over a 2 hour.

Performances were okay, but kind of doubt their inclusion in the project. Mostly the cast was the younger ones, maybe except, Sean Bean. Many of them are only the recently emerged stars. So it was a big responsibility in a big budget movie and they did it. But the movie should have had at least one senior artist. The graphics were somewhat rich, and again the absence of the quality scenes and stunts lets the movie fall.

I gave it a 6, but thought about a higher score, because of the special effects and action. Again the story was above average and I would recommend it to those of you that enjoy the science fiction genre, my advice is ignore the reviews and go on ahead and take the plunge for the special effects and thrill ride!… Expand

Flashy visuals and snazzy action can't save this film. That's because we are left with an underdeveloped plot and a lack of compelling characters. There's a world worth exploring here and what little lore is discussed will make any sci-fi fanFlashy visuals and snazzy action can't save this film. That's because we are left with an underdeveloped plot and a lack of compelling characters. There's a world worth exploring here and what little lore is discussed will make any sci-fi fan dive right in. Especially when they get a look at all of these cool alien races and different fractions. I truly found myself dying to know how they all connected together and interacted with one another. Unfortunately this universe goes unexplored and under-explained while the film focuses on it's own self-contained plot taking place in this fascinating galaxy.

The lack of backstory hurts the core story of this movie as a result. For example we are given no reason as to why the intergalactic police force known as the "Aegis" is really supporting our lead actress during this. At least not in the grand way that they do. By fleshing out the world and it's players more the film's main plot could have been more compelling overall. However it would have still suffered due to it's bland characters.

Too much of the film rests on the back of Mila Kunis who shows once again that she is not a strong enough actress to really be left with a leading role. Unfortunately here she is given the main one as she is really the only actual hero character. Channing Tatum is there, but all he is really given to do is growl, shoot stuff, and rescue Kunis. He's more of a vehicle for the action as opposed to an actual character. That's why the romance at the heart of this film falls flat. "Jupiter" just sort of falls in love with him for literally no reason other than for the sake of the film having a romance, and vice versa.

As for the character Jupiter herself, she's flat and boring. The Wachowskis (the writers and directors) try way too hard to make her likable by trying to make her funny. She isn't. The poor attempts at humor here are delivered through groan-inducing one liners that try too hard to play off of the character's naivety she has regarding her new, bigger world and her Cinderella-esque story. The only way you'll chuckle at these moments is if you are amused by how bad they end up being.

The action in the movie is pretty entertaining at first due to cool technology and some pretty visuals. However without a reason to invest in the characters or their conflict I found myself quickly losing interest. The final third of the film devolves into the same bombastic, destruction and fight scenes we've seen so many times before in countless action blockbusters. The originality inherent in the rest of the film is sorely lost here.

Where the film's plot does succeed is in it's the main antagonists. Eddie Redmayne, Douglas Booth, and Tuppence Middleton give fantastic performances even if their character's motivations aren't fully fleshed out. I wish the element of their power struggle amongst themselves had received more attention. By that I mean really any attention at all.

The movie is really a mass of wasted potential. With a more fleshed out world, characters, and central plot this could have been something truly great. Unfortunately even with a running time of over two hours the Wachowskis can't get all of the storytelling they need to into the film. The result is a pretty but hollow shell that deserves to be filled with the rich potential of the galaxy created here. I would love to see them return to it in the future with more backstory, better characters, and a more compelling plot. The potential isn't realized here and what we are left with is disappointment and a glimpse at something that could have been great.

I give this movie a 4.5/10.… Expand

You've made yet another terrible sci-fi CGI-fest, devoid of fun, likable characters, or any good lines in the script. I will say to your credit that there are some charming parts, and the cast is pretty solid. But why on Earth, for the main villain, would you reduce Eddie frickin' Redmayne, an Academy award winner, to an awkwardly-dressed brat who screams half his lines and whispers the other half!? And Mila's character is **** too, so it's not like she gets a free pass. She does nothing throughout the film other than get saved, try to get close to Mr. Wolf-eared Tatum, and clean toilets. She makes Princess Peach look like Ellen Ripley! All the other characters in this film are either left without personality or ridiculous to the point of hilarity. The lines in this movie puts the stupidity of Batman and Robin to shame. "I love dogs."? Really? M. Night Shyamalan is cringing at that line! Even Patrick Star can't help but cry at the sound of hearing that! Overall, it's a poorly-executed, poorly-acted, and boring attempt at cashing in on what made Star Wars so great. Too bad Mr. and Mrs. Wachowski. Maybe next movie.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Jupiter Ascending was much better than I anticipated. The acting and cast does a solid job, with Eddie Redmayne continuing to establish himself as a premier actor in Hollywood. The effects were adequate, though not necessarily up to par with the best of modern science-fiction/fantasy films. Honestly, the biggest drawbacks of the films were that the "strangeness" of the world presented to you (and the universe itself) doesn't feel sufficiently developed, the plot feels a tad bit cliche, and the plot seems to force the romance element on the audience around the halfway point in the film without every developing it previously. Negatives aside, however, and it was still a fairly enjoyable film with some potential.… Expand

I felt they were re-creating a Star Wars universe. This hunch makes me hope, their is a sequel to explain Jupiter's conscious awakening. It has to be more than finding an alien boyfriend.

The Wachowski imparted an intriguing idea, about how we perceived ourselves. We, humans are so excited to know how vast the space is, and when we discovered we can't fathom it; that's when we realize we play a small part in this world. The "re-occurance" or in other term "recreation of the spirit or soul" is what makes us different from any other alien race.

I hoping the sequel will be about saving the earth, from evil triplets who refuse to die; with Jupiter's crossbreed alien boyfriend.… Expand

If "Guardians of The Galaxy" were here they would of saved Jupiter Ascending's cheesy dialogue and it's unnecessary soap opera, we might of had a great film (almost). Jupiter Jones (Mila Kunis) was born under the signs that predicated her future greatness, but in reality she cleans people's houses and cleans toilets also wants endless breaks. Every single morning when her alarm clock goes off at 4:54, in the morning she says "I hate my life" before she spends her day scrubbing the toilets. Jupiter doesn't know that she holds mankind's future in her hands she does not realize it yet. Caine (Channing Tatum) a genetically engineered hunter with the DNA of half-wolf and half-man, who arrives on earth to locate Jupiter, making her aware that destiny awaits her: Jupiter's genetic signature marks her next in line, extraordinary inheritance that could alter her the balance of the cosmos. The coolest scene ever in Jupiter Ascending which Caine has super cool boots my favorite scene. There are three heirs to the Abrasax industries dynasty, Kalique (Tuppence Middleton) tries to befriend Jupiter because Jupiter she has the key to an eternal life for Kalique; Titus (Douglas Booth) who wants Jupiter to marry him, so that he could kill her and take her inheritance away from Jupiter. Balem (Eddie Redmayne) wants Jupiter dead dead dead and now. The villain in this movie isn't really all that important or strong also the greatest in movie history, Eddie Redmayne who's a talented actor could give such a terrible performance he sounds like a British woman. Channing Tatum was missed cast and so was Kunis, obviously better actors could of have been in this B-movie. Mediocre movies have copied of the Wachowskis "Matrix" films, well this is a mediocre movie! Well even the makers of "Matrix" are copying of it, their also copying off of "Star Wars" and "The Wizard of Oz". If there's one thing The Wachowskis can achieve in their sc-fi blockbusters is create beauteous special effects and the art of an action scene. The score by Michael Giacchino is perfect and is elegant. Grade B-… Expand

Story is just all over the place, introducing way to much irrelevant information. Exposition explodingI honestly don't know what has happened to the Wachowskis. This movie is both an utter blunder and beautiful at once. A glorious mess.

Story is just all over the place, introducing way to much irrelevant information. Exposition exploding everywhere, yet amounting to so little in terms of a interesting narrative. As a whole the movie feels like they've taken a 22 episode TV series and condensed it down to a single movie. You clearly see there is a rich universe and back story here, just a shame it is so incredibly skimmed over. With more time and patience this movie could have been so much better. Alas, it is what it is.

The characters are either uninteresting, generic, irrelevant or ridiculously over the top. You can see Kunis is really trying very hard, but just does not quite cut it. But credit for trying, with a better script and direction she could do much better. Tatum's character is by far the most interesting and developed, but really under utilized. His character is just far too convenient and just to "perfect" for the story. Jupiter should have died more than a dozen times over in this movie, if not for his presence.

Visually though the movie absolutely gorgeous. Visual effects are astounding, but also way too much. There is so much going on that it's hard to focus on anything most of the time. But still very nice.

Overall:
Jupiter Ascending is an interesting idea, regardless of how much it "borrows" from other movies. It's just a shame just how much of a mess it is. If I didn't know any better I would have thought it was made by a group of first year film students. I would really hope that some day someone remakes this movie and does it properly.… Expand

As a Sci-Fi fan I really was looking forward to this movie. And was then ending up fast-forwarding while watching, since after the 4th abduction from yet another (un-introduced) party I could not take it anymore. Why should I care, what is the story? The lone Lycantrop for rescue story is just absurd, I never got the impression he is different than any other soldier, they should have send Jason Bourne instead. Finally, just because our main character, the queen, is cleaning toilets this does not make her a good person, sorry! Good persons are defined by actions they take during the movie, and there was none of it, she just was captured a zillion times and then decided not to slaughter all humans on earth. I get more emotional if my hairdresser tells me from her family weekend, the immersion level for this movie is really zero.
Bottom line: While visually appealing am I still surprised how little emotional attachment there is with any of the personalities in this movie. Looks like a visual effect hardware manufacturer wrote the script. It seems characters have no personality at all, are just there for hoping unmotivated into the next visual scene as a cursor pointing the way. It is yet another pancake movie, painted nicely, but as flat as it gets.… Expand

First a few things, Mila Kunis can't act, visuals can't make up for lack of an interesting story, a person talking softly to make them seem like more of a bad guy doesn't work. This movie was tough to get through, I nodded off at parts especially when they were talking so softly it's like they were being nice enough to talk soft so you could fall asleep easier. Also with all the info Jupiter is given about her life she doesn't seem to reACT the way you'd expect an everyday person would. If you're a big Channing Tatum fan he's shirtless at some parts, but he's just as bad an actor as Kunis. The only thing this movie has going for it is it's visuals and even they aren't that great. If you like these two "actors" pick another movie with them in it. Jupiter Ascending should be descending into a bargain bin near you.… Expand

Clearly the writers thought roller skating was something cool and new but surely someone from such a technologically advanced civilisation would be able to use something other than roller blades to make their way across the sky? IT almost makes it seem like they came up with the concept in the 1980's but it took them 30+ years to get it onto the screen.

It seems the Wachowski brothers were a one hit wonder with the Matrix 1. Well, V for Vendetta is a personal favourite so maybe a two-hit wonder.… Expand

This is one of those movies made for watching just once. It numbs you with effects, great sound, great visuals. But the most you watch it, the most you hate it. Probably will be a cult movie in 30 years.

I really don't blame the actors or the visual effects crew, but this universe was created so big, that even if they wanted to explain everything in three movies it would be complicated...
Another thing is that if she is soooo bad ass as the story's tell us, why did she left billions of people die even after saving earth????? The killings continue, deaths continues, the life market continues... Good job Majesty !!!!!… Expand

However this movieWhen I saw the trailer for Jupiter Ascending I thought there was a possibility that this could be a revolutionary action film. All the effects were really cool and it is a movie that is just very appealing to your eyes. However this movie becomes an even worse version of Star Wars The Phantom Menace. It becomes a Sci-Fi film that becomes way too political and who really cares about politics or at least in a movie in this genre. Channing Tatum and Mila Kunis both do alright in this movie, they aren't terrible although they were both definitely brought in as a cash grab because they are two of the most popular and attractive people in the business right now. The real dud performer in this movie is Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne. Redmayne has one of the stupidest and most annoying voices ever in film and he looked so stupid that every time he was in frame I became annoyed. Sadly there is a lot of great visual effects that take a back seat to poor writing and that's why Jupiter Ascending will be quickly forgotten.… Expand

The plot was a bit muddled, the romance seemed extremely forced and there just weren't any really likable characters. Mila Kunis' character, Jupiter Jones, is the protagonist but I never found myself rooting for her. She was wishy washy at best and so lovestruck by the end that it seemed she had no character whatsoever but what was forced on her by the shoe horned romance.
What I did enjoy: The visual effects. This movie does not disappoint on that level. The CG is amazing and the detail is incredible, if it weren't for the great visuals I would rate this much lower. The scene where they first come to the Planet Orus and show off the technology is quite breath taking.… Expand

¿Pero que ha pasado?, vamos a ver la cosa es muy sencilla, estos 2 muchachos, que todo el mundo se ultrapajeo a muerte con Matrix (quizas su único film decente) que llegando a cotas de exageración que rozaban la pura demencia, tildándola de obra maestra o revolución cinematográfica, cuando simplemente... era un refrito de ciencia ficción y ""homenajes"" al cine de acción de Hong Kong.

Luego ya salió las 2 siguientes de Matrix, y vieron que nada de nada, y si tiramos a sus proyectos post-Matrix, mas aun, con una espantosa y epiléptica Speed Racer, se dieron la leche, e intentaron buscarse otro público mas indie con El atlas de las nubes, pero al ser 2 directores mediocres flipados de la vida, hicieron un verdadero truño (porque no tienen ni puta idea de hacer películas con mensaje o temas mas metafísicos), al ver que no, pues vuelven a lo comercial y... otro hostión.

Siento este prólogo, pero debía soltarlo porque me parece que con El Destino de Júpiter han tocado fondo en el pozo de mierda donde se están hundiendo. El Destino de Júpiter nos cuenta la historia de una asistenta rusa, que tiene unos genes random, que coinciden con una reina muerta, que la hacen por derecho, dueña de la tierra, mientras que 2 de los herederos de la Tierra, se la quieren cargar, aparece un guardaespaldas medio lobo medio hombre, para protegerla. La premisa es interesante, si no vamos a negarlo, puede salir un space opera interesante, pero estando detrás esos dos putos inútiles en el guión y en la dirección, la cosa no va bien.

Primero empezamos con que la película carece de un trasfondo digno o bien desarrollado, porque estos señores en vez de hacerte un pequeño prólogo o cualquier recurso útil, para ponerte en situación de lo que esta sucediendo, lo dan todo por hecho, como si conociésemos a la familia Abraxas, que hay corporaciones intergalácticas, o la Egira, como si fuese Star Wars, que todo el mundo por cultura popular lo conoce o ha oído de ello, cuando esto ha salido de sus absurdas y ridículas cabezas.

Luego tenemos que el desarrollo de la película, es un puto caos integral, pasan cosas en la historia que son relevantes, y dan igual, te la suda lo que suceda, no hay tensión, no hay emoción, no hay nada, es una película vacía, sin alma, añadiendo además la confusión que sufres al ver que no te cuentan nada claro del trasfondo, que provoca al espectador que ni le prestes atención o interés al film, porque la misma pelicula ni siquiera se digna en explicártelo, sino en darlo todo por hecho, porque presuntamente lo conocemos.

Después las escenas de acción, los tíos cutres UTILIZAN LA MISMA SECUENCIA DE ACCIÓN TODO EL PUTO TIEMPO, que es el Chanim Tatum haciendo piruetas con sus patines mágicos y encima terrorificamente mal filmado, Matrix estaba soberbiamente bien filmada, ¿que pasa? Lana Wachowsky mató a Larry a palos y le sustituyo, y el que tenía el talento era él, GUARRA.

Lo demás, que visualmente esta muy bien, y ya. No tiene nada mas salvable, evitadla como si fuese un puto leproso con Sida.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Such a shame, a damn shame. While the whole back-story of the Abrasax family, their business, the alien culture, rulers of space part was COMPLETELY ignored, we at least got to see Sean Bean not die. Considering the horrible character he was handed, he did what he could. That could be said about all the actors who were literally lost in the plot and could not establish a connection with the other characters. I don't blame the actors though, truly, they did what they could, but there was no substance, no story line, no anything besides visual effects. This movie had the potential to be amazing, a possible franchise but nothing of value was even hinted at. The origins of humanity (which is not Earth), the royal families in space, the type of businesses, Jupiter's past and inheritance, the Abrasax kids and the rivals in the industry.....nothing, nothing related to that.....Sweet lord, this could have been amazing. Not to mention, that the dialogue was mediocre, the technology they presented was brushed off with no insight and Tatum is some kind of human-doggy with the emotional range of a pissed off Edward Cullen. While, of course, Mila Kunis is there to be pretty, not breaking a sweat at the fact that she discovered in a matter of hours that she owns half the universe, her identity is uncommon, she jumps off of buildings, gets used very fast with talking lizards and alien tech. By no means would she freak out about, well, anything. Her job is to look pretty in alien couture and hit on Tatum's canine charms. God this was a mess. oh yeah....there was a faint hint of incest too.… Expand

On the other hand, in an original plot twist, Sean Bean didn't die.

Jupiter Ascending probably has one of the funniest scene so far in 2015 and that is the scene where a captain of this ship who's in a war battle and the captain says "Full speed a head", and it pans down to this elephant man like creature andJupiter Ascending probably has one of the funniest scene so far in 2015 and that is the scene where a captain of this ship who's in a war battle and the captain says "Full speed a head", and it pans down to this elephant man like creature and it makes the funniest noise ever and of cause I laughed my head off.

The story is about Jupiter Jones (Mila Kunis), who was born under a night sky, with signs predicting she was destined for great things. Now grown, Jupiter dreams of the stars but wakes up to the cold reality of a job cleaning other people's houses and an endless run of bad breaks. Only when Caine (Channing Tatum), a genetically engineered ex-military hunter, arrives on Earth to track her down does Jupiter begin to glimpse the fate that has been waiting for her all along-her genetic signature marks her as next in line for an extraordinary inheritance that could alter the balance of the cosmos.

I can't remember the time where the Wachowski made a good movie after the Matrix. Since then they made bad movie after bad movie and I don't know what to blame the writing or the directing, I think both since the Wachowski written and directed they movies and Jupiter Ascending is another one of they failures. Now I'm not the one who likes to bash some one who I know has great talent but I think some great talent forgot what made them so special in the first place.

For the positive: The first action scene in this movie I got to admit it was on the same level of spectacular has the Matrix. The hairs on my arm stood up, it was truly breathtaking and unique. The score by Michael G Keno was just fantastic to listen to and Channing Tatum and Sean Bean was okay in the film. For I split second I thought this movie was going to be good, but then I sawed the rest of it and it left a bad taste in my mouth.

Now for the bad and there's a lot: Mila Kunis in this movie pretty played the dumb damsel in distress that needs a man to save her ever 20 minutes and her character feels really miss cast and if they just cut her out of the movie it wouldn't make a difference, I mean really Wachowski? you could have done better than that I mean come on. Oh I almost forgot the dialogue in this movie was so bad it was Twilight dialogue bad.

The Visual Effect's as well looked pretty fake at times even if it's in the background or the CG creatures, it still looked fake.

Now we all know by now that Eddie Redmayne is a good actor. We know he can deliver dialogue and make it feel real and serious like a person, but in this I had no idea what on earth what he was doing. Over the top, chewing up scenery after scenery, laughable bad and a weird voice that's sounds like Richard Harris Dumbledore mix with Nicolas Cage if he was drunk and high. His performance was Razzie worthy bad and I don't blame him for this, I blame the writing and the directors because there they telling him what to do so I won't blame him for it, but come on Eddie I know your a nice guy in real life but did you even think "Wow this is pretty laughably bad I should ask the directors to change it".

Overall Jupiter Ascending is just a Sci-Fi smash together mess. The action scenes may have been the only enjoyable part of the movie, but even that couldn't save this uninspiring, bloated mess of a film.… Expand

A Princess right out of Cinderella is helped by a Werewolf and a wise old man (who are actually Fallen Angels) navigate various fantasy worlds dressed up in Science Fiction leading to the 'final showdown' with a Dragon (like alien) in a Dungeon like environment which looks like Mount Doom relocated to Star Wars Rise of the Sith. A world dictated by computer game logic and (I'll be generous and say) whimsical nods to the Audience about the power of... I'm guessing Free Will or maybe the abolition of the class system, for they barely touch on the fact these 'genetically superior' (read Magic) humans (No, not X-Men) go round growing and whipping out entire civilisations (a-la The Wraith in Stargate Atlantis) as well as 'making' a whole bunch of other people to do their will (kind of like the programmes in The Matrix... wait its the same writers/directors isn't it) All the while Mila Kunis (who has no chemistry with the Werewolf) changes outfits. If you haven't seen Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Star Trek, Star Wars, The Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers, Doctor Who, Stargate (any of them), The Hunger Games, The Matrix, any historical drama, period piece or fantasy, fairy tail or (insert something here) you'll properly think the story is quite innovative.… Expand
