The film is set in a distant future where a young woman who cleans toilets for a living is suddenly targeted by a ruthless tyrant who is a son of a royal family from another planet. She and a genetically engineered warrior travel across the galaxy to stop the tyrant and save Earth.
Review:
This film is very enjoyable for the most part. It's a very fun and neat science fiction space adventure with a bit of romance and comedy.
The story and concept, while similar to other sci-fi movies, are quite unique and creative. It blends science fiction with fantasy which is neat. It also has a bit of a fairy tale vibe which is nice.
The visuals are stunning and stylistic and the action sequences were intense. I really liked the environment and the alien creatures were cool. The characters are interesting and I like the chemistry between Caine and Jupiter. I am not a Channing Tatum fan but I thought he was good in this. I also like Sean Bean's performance.
There were a couple things that bugged me. One of them is the plot. While the storyline is interesting and thought out, I felt it had a few too many holes and it seemed all over the place. Another thing is the acting. While, the acting isn't the worst I've seen in a movie, I think it could have been improved. I like Mila Kunis but I think her performance seemed a bit wooden. Also, I think Eddie Redmayne tried a bit too hard with his performance as the villain.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the film. It's not quite "Blade Runner" or "The Matrix" or even "The Fifth Element", but it's a very good sci-fi flick, and it's worth seeing on the big screen. I can see it getting a cult status.
In the end, I'll say that "Jupiter Ascending", despite it's flaws, is an enjoyable popcorn space adventure that should satisfy big sci-fi nerds.
Max Scale:
8/10
