Review of Jupiter Ascending (2015) by Jamesirish68 — 12 Feb 2015

Its not the Matrix for sure but it ain't half bad either. It seems that when a movie has the critical herd against it then people wont admit to liking it even if they do. The plot is no more ropey than Guardians of the Galaxy which was a critical success. Visually on the big screen ,its beautiful. The actors are all very competent fulfilling their roles. Character nuance isn't the objective here. Baddies are bad and Goodies are good. A homage to Terry Gilliam is included and underneath it all there is possibly a subliminal 1 percenter question re the future of genetics..or maybe I imagined that.

Its Cinderella in space with the added bonus of Sean Bean, one of my favourite actors. I feel a trilogy coming on and box office seems to want it.
