floridasun-rt Really, Channing Tatum as a "High Fae" (Goolgle it OR READ one of Sarah Maas books & you'll get it) what's not to like!!?? Maybe they should let the Sci-fi "Fae readers" rate this as people clearly don't have a clue what's popular in the fantasy book world! This movie was amazing!! Visuals and all! Tatum was the perfect High Fae... of course he didn't refer to himself in those terms but that's what he was in the "Fae" world!
Movie-Inspector 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.
Michael Ledo Jupiter's dad was an astronomy buff and tagged her with the name "Jupiter Jones" (Mila Kunis) because "Pluto Nash" reeks of a "B" movie. Destined to clean toilets, Jupiter has no idea she has royal DNA, the cosmic Cinderella story. She is going to be the "Queen Bee" of the planet and look beautiful forever, except there are aliens who want her dead and also that enslavement thing. We find out a large corporate family owns the planet and wants to harvest the over populated planet of its human DNA, except for her who happens to have Royal DNA.Her prince is a man named Caine Wise (Channing Tatum) who has flying boots and wolf ears.I didn't see any thank yous in the credits to "Star Odyssey" the "B" Italian film from which the Wachowskis borrowed some of their plot: "The planet is sold to an evil despot named Kress, who soon flies to "Sol 3" to start gathering humanoid slaves to sell to his evil counterparts."Their films (Matrix) once again attempts to introduce ideas of ownership and enslaved masses for a higher class while using ugly creatures that looked like they came from "Dark Crystal." The film fell flat in entertainment as our main character was never developed beyond her DNA and occupation. The plot was laborious in making points interfering with the flow of the film.It could have been better scripted, directed, and edited.Guide: No f-bombs or sex. Partial butt nudity.
rabbitmoon 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.
