Jupiter Ascending

Who cares if the story is occasionally impenetrable or if some gags land with a thud when the thrills and the eye candy keep coming at such a breathless pace? Jupiter Ascending doesn’t break the new ground that the Wachowskis have managed in the past...but the film never slacks in its efforts to wow us.

Jupiter Ascending feels like a truncated, Cliffs Notes version of something that might have worked a lot better as a mini-series. Two hours is too short for this tale and the end result suffers greatly because of that restriction.

I enjoyed this movie more than the last two films from the Wachowskis, the interminable "Cloud Atlas" and "Speed Racer." On the other hand, "The Matrix" it's not.

Cinema-goers desperately need a fresh, unusual and franchise-free blockbuster to rally behind, but Jupiter Ascending isn’t it.

The sci-fi film's reported $175 million budget must have gone largely into loopy production design, wild costumes, outlandish hairstyles and colorful make-up. It certainly didn't go into developing a coherent script or coaching believable performances.

This kind of pandering FX padding, unnurtured by humor or heart, is what shifts Jupiter Ascending from a shambles to a fiasco. In an effort to win back audiences by lowering their standards and their daring, the Wachowskis wind up where you never expected to find them creatively: on the ropes.

There’s no defending Jupiter Ascending. There’s no explaining Jupiter Ascending. There’s no way Jupiter Ascending isn’t making an appearance on my list of the Worst Films of 2015.

It's wonderful and makes me wanting more. I get unbreath when watching this incredible and fantastic movie is running on my TV. It has a Beautiful photografy.

An audiovisual spectacle but the plot, pacing and especially the ending leave a lot to be desired. Still, it has a lot of good stuff.

Gut visualisierte Schauplätze. Sogar die Geschichte ist interessant: Eine Alienrasse lässt die Menschen auf der Erde gedeihen bis es genug sind um sie zu "ernten". Mit dem Elixier können sie jung bleiben und fast ewig leben. Manchmal werden die Twists etwas lapidar umgesetzt. Was sich ein wenig beisst, ist die ultra nerdige Rassen/Charaktere kombiniert mit Teenager-Stars in den Hauptrollen.

The premise would not be so bad, but along the development the film gets worse and worse, the story is banal and at times senseless ending up boring more and more. Besides the basic idea of ​​the story it is not clear what film it wants to be, ending up being neither funny, nor with a good story, nor exciting, nor an action film
