HPITER ASCENDING/VILLAGE ROADSHOW PICTURES
Jupiter Jones (Mila Kunis) hangs onto Caine (Channing Tatum) while being chased by aliens through Chicago.
'Jupiter Ascending' is a long-winded dazzler
W hatever narrative problems the Wachowskis
("The Matrix" trilogy, "Speed Racer," "Cloud Atlas") sometimes stumble through, there's no denying their visual style pops right off the screen with impressive special effects and thrilling action. Their space opera, "Jupiter Ascending," suffers some issues in the story too, but man, what a spectacle-filled feast for the
Mainly there's too much royal intrigue coupled with explaining the mythology of the film's world, primarily during the less engaging second act, as well as one plot of betrayal after another. The exposition about this sci-fi universe is interesting enough, but a family of pretentious nobility being entitled pricks doesn't make for particularly compelling villainy amidst the action and adventure.
As it turns out, Earth is just a crop of humans waiting to be harvested by its owners. The Abrasax family owns Earth and many other civilized planets, all inherited by the three royal children following the queen's death. However, Jupiter Jones (Mila Kunis), a poor girl cleaning toilets in Chicago, is the genetic reincarnation of the queen and thus rightful heir to the Abrasax throne.
When the strongest Abrasax, Balem (Eddie Redmayne), learns of this challenge to his power, he orders her death before she is discovered. In
It's clear from Caine's introductory scene, when he tracks Jupiter and gets into a firefight with the opposing mercenaries while flying around on his gravity-surfing boots, that the action mechanics in this movie are designed in seriously cool ways that deliver the awesomeness. Unfortunately, the movie hits its peak early on as Jupiter and Caine air-surf around the Chicago skyline under fire from alien ships, until he commandeers one and must outmaneuver and take down the others.
comes Channing Tatum as human-wolf hybrid hunter Caine, hired to save her and take her to the other Abrasax brother, Titus (Douglas Booth).
This is one of those truly exhilarating, edge-of-your-seat sequences that leaves a blazing imprint in your memory. Maybe the feverish pace and recognizable setting getting torn up make it so effective, but no subsequent set piece reaches such intense heights, probably because they get a little bogged down cross-cutting between multiple characters in different struggles.
The Wachowskis' screenplay a number of cheesy beats throughout, but their direction manages to keep them from sticking out most of the time. There's a lower degree of some "The Fifth Element" like humor and oddity, primarily in a scene going through a galactic equivalent of the DMV, and frequently messy exposition. The first act excites tremendously (outside of the cliché opening), but the second act loses momentum as they get off Earth and get tangled up in the Abrasax clan's schemes. The final act steps back up to bat with a solid swing at the fences, hitting a lively space battle that drives forward to a charged final

As gorgeous and charming as Kunis is, she doesn't quite offer depth or substantial emotion. Tatum makes the most of his silly, almost elvish, look, and pulls off an honorable and intimidating warrior with verve. Redmayne, fresh off his Oscar-nominated performance as Stephen Hawking in "The Theory of Everything," totally lacks subtlety as he overacts, trying to chew scenery with angry whispering and tantrum shouting.
— Edited by Callie Byrnes
Still, "Jupiter Ascending" is a big, bold and original piece of extravagant science fiction full of weird creatures, advanced technology, vivid environments, explosive space battles and awesome set pieces within a detailed world of its own, refreshing to watch despite its faults. The Wachowski inject it with some philosophical ideas as well, but those lack the kind of thought-provoking weight the duo is known for. At least they can paint it all with a shining gleam of refined, colorful fun.
