> One liner, somewhat richer, but only a decent entertainer.

A sci-fantasy directed by the Wachowskis of ‘The Matrix’ fame. Theirs lowest point ever as the filmmakers, but still not that bad flick. The movie lacked in many areas, and one of those is failing to have at least one stunning fight/war scene. I know it was only the beginning and there will be a sequel, maybe ends as a trilogy, but the story was very weak for an intro movie.

Looks like one-liner, precisely to say kind of similar to ‘The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’. I mean in a thin idea, the whole story takes place. Something like a space expedition for a chosen one, hopping from a planet to planet, seeking answers and protection. The title character, Jupiter Jones, played by Mila Kunis, with the help of the Caine Wise (Channing Tatum) takes a risky venture when their lives were threatened. Finding who’s behind and other truth brings the end of the narration, which runs for just over a 2 hour.

Performances were okay, but kind of doubt their inclusion in the project. Mostly the cast was the younger ones, maybe except, Sean Bean. Many of them are only the recently emerged stars. So it was a big responsibility in a big budget movie and they did it. But the movie should have had at least one senior artist. The graphics were somewhat rich, and again the absence of the quality scenes and stunts lets the movie fall.

6½/10

It appears that I am going to disagree with a fair number of people when I say that I quite liked this movie. Sure, if you expect some deep story with a lot of moral cleverness in it you are going to be disappointed. This is an interesting story but one that hangs together by a fairly fine thread.

To me it is a decent enough story that is propelled by a decent enough action and absolutely wonderful scenery. Yes, I agree with everyone saying that it is a bit of a B-story. It has many issues and barely hangs together at times.

However, if you try to ignore that for a while and just try to view it as a piece of, fairly fast paced, visual entertainment, well then it hits the spot quite well. It is frequently beautiful to watch. The action sequences are not bad and the story is, if nothing else, certainly not the usual thirteen to a dozen B-movie repeats. The acting is, well, also generally of B-movie quality but it is not downright bad and, once I got in the right mindset for the movie, it did not disturb me.

On the whole I quite liked this movie but I guess you have to be a bit of sci-fi fan, with an emphasize on visuals, to do so.

It could have been amazing. It could have become a blockbuster franchise. It could have boosted the Wachowskis’ careers. But that’s all Jupiter Ascending is.
I’ll be upfront and warn those contemplating watching Jupiter Ascending that you need to go in with low expectations to enjoy the film. Unless your idea of what makes a film good is huge explosions, pretty characters prancing around in elaborate costumes and beautiful visuals. After all, who cares about plot, lines and pacing right?

Jupiter Ascending is really very much a visual feast but nothing more than that. The action sequences are generally well paced and I applaud the fact that CGI for the actions were kept minimal. The costumes are stunning (as are the actors).

Which is a great pity because, on paper, Jupiter Ascending really had potential.

For a start, like all sci-fi films, Jupiter Ascending is ambitious in its storytelling. An entirely different reality of an alternative universe with its own ecosystem, species and history is created. There are soldiers spliced with animal DNAs such as Caine (Channing Tatum) who has some wolf in him and Stinger (Sean Bean) who has some bee in him (guess where they got their names from?). There was potential to explore and mine all that richness for more stories but this is undermined by the weak delivery of the first film in what the studios were probably hoping would be a new franchise.

While the plot of Jupiter Ascending was hackneyed, it had pretty interesting characters whose backstories would have been fun for the audience to explore. I could have seen the many fanfiction pieces that fans would have spun off from the story of Caine, Jupiter and the Abrasax family. Let’s be honest, the basic plot line of The Matrix, the film franchise that the Wachowskis are renowned for, was pretty cliché too – the story of a Chosen One who comes out of nowhere and whose destiny is to save the world. It was the treatment of this plot premise (as well as really cool action sequences and visuals) that made The Matrix such a groundbreaking series. Jupiter Ascending’s basic plot premise was this too but the treatment was a complete letdown.

The cast is also one that is renowned for not just their good looks but also their ability to act. Somehow though, the directors succeeded in not tapping on that ability. I can’t help but wonder what kind of directions Andy and Lana Wachowskis gave Eddie Radmayne for me to give such an exaggerated and overly affected performance as Balem. It reminds me somewhat chillingly of how Natalie Portman almost killed her career with her expressionless and emotionless turn as Amidala in the Stars Wars prequel trilogy. At least Radmayne has The Theory of Everything that is out in the same season and that can probably help cushion the fallout from Jupiter Ascending.

To the Wachowskis’ credit, Mila Kunis and Channing Tatum have some chemistry. While their performances are not going to garner them any Oscars, they put in decent performances to, I think, ward off any Razzie nominations. It also helps that they are pretty easy on the eye. Apart from these three actors, it is hard to discern the performances put in by the rest of the cast as their characters do not appear to add to the story. It makes it difficult for one to give a fair critique of their performances hence I’ll refrain from that here.

Jupiter Ascending could also have been one of the few female-led action films that could have been a successful film franchise, showing that when female-led action films succeed, it’s not necessarily a quirk. This would have been helpful in Hollywood’s evolution (if you haven’t figured out from my name, yes, I’m female).

It also could have been the film that would have move the Wachowskis’ career out of its current state where the siblings are now more renowned for the visual flash and bang in their films rather than the creative storytelling and treatment that was showcased in The Matrix.

Big, loud, colourful, popcorn-munching fun
A prologue tells us of Jupiter Jones’ birth: English astronomer father Maximilian, visiting Russia, falls in love and marries but is killed during a robbery: mother moves to the US, giving birth on the way. Jupiter grows up in Chicago in an extended family of immigrant Russians, doing menial cleaning work for a rich family where she seems to be friendly with the daughter. Then she is whisked away by a half wolf man on rocket skates after intergalactic bounty hunters arrive trying to kill her. It turns out she is a reborn incarnation of a wealthy cosmic matriarch who is in the position of retroactively disinheriting her three children, which goes down particularly badly with one of them, Balem, who is seeking to “harvest” Earth (ie. melt down the human population to create an elixir which keeps the cosmic super-rich alive for generations), hence the attempts to murder Jupiter before this can happen. Jupiter is thrust, unwittingly, into a new life of intrigue, manoeuvrings, and extreme danger.

Jupiter Ascending is a big budget, big story, science fiction extravaganza by the Wachowski siblings. It is full of action from the start, has some great story material, masses of eye candy from start to finish, decent 3D, good actors giving decent performances of pleasing characters, and a satisfactory resolution as well as the possibility of franchise continuation.

However, there’s always a “but”, isn’t there? The “but” with Jupiter Ascending is that there is so much crammed into it that you don’t always get what you need (or what you think you need) from a storytelling point of view. I’m quite happy not to be spoon fed – which is just as well, because you are left to figure out much of this film as it goes along – but there is quite a lot here where a bit more explanation would be welcome. Is Jupiter’s birth as a reincarnation of (un-named) Cosmic Mom a result of some sort of unmentioned cosmic intercession, or is it just some sort of accident/coincidence (in which case I suggest that those cosmic laws on inheritance need looking at)? Why is there only one pair of rocket skates? They seem terribly useful. How does the instant city rebuilding work? (OK, we don’t really need to know that). How did the siblings find out about Jupiter and why did it take them so long? How does it tie in with her birth circumstances? What was so significant about her birth circumstances that we needed to be shown what happened? How come the bounty hunters and rescue dog man both arrived at the same time? What was the relationship between Jupiter and rich friend who she cleans for and whose identity she assumed at the fertility clinic? What was up with Sean Bean’s daughter and why did it take so long between her single plot-relevant cough and the inadequate one-line payoff? There are plenty of other questions and, unfortunately, I found them taking precedence over the action.

The action pounds along relentlessly. The eye candy is wonderful. Channing Tatum is dogged in his protection of Mila Kunis’ Jupiter (har har). Eddie Redmayne is silkily menacing (a bit too quiet and indistinct) and terrific when he loses it. There are little skeleton creepy aliens, dragon men, and all sorts between (including some people under makeup who I only realised who they were when the cast list came up). It is big bombastic fun and I enjoyed it.
