Review of Jupiter Ascending (2015) by Phch22777 — 09 Feb 2015

This is a revolutionary scenario and universe which is quite profound, rich, but didn't turn out on the screen because of too many cut scenes. There is an introductory aspect to the movie that feels rushed and confusing, which seems to the the reflection of the state of confusion that the main character is put through.

More interesting is the fact that this movie explores the theme of the origin of our species as other movie did recently, such as Prometheus, the notion that we may not be the only intelligent society in the universe.

The fundamentals themes remain those of the Wachowskis, very close to the Matrix and Cloud Atlas, a quest for freedom of choice, the fight for the release from slavery, exploitation of the body and mind of Mankind to keep them in an altered state which is the result of a manipulation scheme based on the power of lies and ignorance and the moral consequence that comes from the awakening from those lies.

Requires intelligence and attention from viewers that can miss the point. This is not just an action movie with lots of CG...
