Review of Jupiter Ascending (2015) by Prentice S — 27 Sep 2015
I know I stand in the minority on this one, but I found "Jupiter Ascending" an utter blast, one of the best popcorn movies I've seen in a long time. The Wachowskis work best in their own worlds and "Jupiter Ascending" has so much universe building that I couldn't help but marvel.
The design of the ships, the creation of the royal families, and even the creation of a bureaucracy for the rich, was exceedingly well-done. Eddie Redmayne's performance, but subtle and larger-than-life, was great.
The movie falters a bit when it comes to the story: most of it is predictable, but it's so much fun that it really didn't bug me too much. All-in-all, I enjoyed "Jupiter Ascending," even if everyone else didn't.
