Review of Jupiter Ascending (2015) by Scrawnypunk — 13 Feb 2015
This gets my minimum rating for a Wachowski movie. 5 points for visuals and general goofiness, 0 points for everything else. Word to the wise - this movie is EXCEPTIONALLY stupid. Probably on par with Lucy, but in outer space. So if you think Lucy was a thoughtful movie, then this one is for you. Otherwise...
Plot is plodding. Characters development is negligent. Acting is marginal. Dialog is absurd. Creativity is absolutely absent - this is basically a mash-up of Cinderella, Flash Gordon, Star Wars (episode 3...which might not be the best one to crib), Hitchhikers Guide, and Dune, with slight traces of Ice Pirates.
The saving grace is occasional humor, mostly at the expense of civil servants. The February release looks intentional.
