Review of Jupiter Ascending (2015) by Dann M — 15 Jul 2015
Loud obnoxious garbage, Jupiter Ascending is the latest sci-fi thriller from the Wachowskis. In this space odyssey a lowly maid from Chicago named Jupiter Jones discovers that she's the genetic reincarnation of the matriarch of one of the most powerful aristocratic families in the universe, and that she holds the fate of the Earth in her hands.
The plot is incredibly convoluted and monumentally stupid. Mila Kunis and Channing Tatum try to make the material work, but they're not very successful. In lieu of aliens the film has "Splices" (humans mixed with animal DNA); which is insanely bizarre.
And the action, though extremely exciting and visually spectacular, is so bombastic that after a while it just becomes noise. A chaotic mess, Jupiter Ascending just doesn't work.
