Review of Jupiter Ascending (2015) by Teylanna334 — 16 Feb 2015

I enjoyed this film. I felt that the storyline and universe was epic - reminiscent of Frank Herbert's Dune. There was plenty of action, an interesting storyline and sneaky pop culture references that were amusing. It felt as though it had been heavily cut, however, and could have easily filled another hour or so.

I wanted to see more of the universe. It felt as though we were just looking through at a small portion of what this universe had to offer and I had many questions I would have loved to explore further.

I really hope that there will be a directors cut, expanding on this universe and filling in some of transient scenes that felt missing. The acting was excellent and the dialogue between characters felt real and not forced. It was artistic and beautiful without sacrificing the storyline, though I wish there had been more of it.

Not as amazing and ground breaking as the matrix trilogy, but a great watch.
