Review of Jupiter Ascending (2015) by Bruce B — 22 Jul 2015
Jupiter Ascending was much better than I anticipated. The acting and cast does a solid job, with Eddie Redmayne continuing to establish himself as a premier actor in Hollywood. The effects were adequate, though not necessarily up to par with the best of modern science-fiction/fantasy films.
Honestly, the biggest drawbacks of the films were that the "strangeness" of the world presented to you (and the universe itself) doesn't feel sufficiently developed, the plot feels a tad bit cliche, and the plot seems to force the romance element on the audience around the halfway point in the film without every developing it previously.
Negatives aside, however, and it was still a fairly enjoyable film with some potential.
