Description

From the streets of Chicago to far flung galaxies whirling through space, JUPITER ASCENDING is a science fiction epic adventure that follows the downtrodden Jupiter Jones (Mila Kunis -- Black Swan), who's destined for greatness. When a genetically engineered ex-military hunter Caine (Channing Tatum -- Magic Mike) tracks her down, she starts to glimpse the fate waiting for her all along -- her genetic signature marking her as next in line for an extraordinary inheritance that could alter the balance of the cosmos. Lilly and Lana Wachowski (The Matrix films, Cloud Atlas) take us on another visionary journey into the unknown. Also starring Sean Bean (Game of Thrones), Eddie Redmayne ( Les Misérables ) and Douglas Booth (Noah), this sci-fi thrill-ride will expand your universe. The battle for our world begins with her.

    Great special effects, great creatures, good actors, crap plot, bad script. Not the best sci-fi I've seen and certainly not the worst.

    The iTunes write up is better than the film

  • I really enjoyed it.

    Never read the books so no biased view. Yes, it could have been better, I had the impression of a epic story being crammed into a small space. My expectations were quite low because of some reviews but found myself enjoying it so much I eventually watched it again - twice. The characters could have been stronger, perhaps the plot was overly ambitions, the visuals were excellent.

  • Promises much but sadly doesn’t deliver

    Great effects, yes, but poor story line and actors that sound as if they are reading off a prompt board. Not a film I can recommend.

    … not much to add to what has already been said. They got lost and couldn’t execute a good idea. There was chemistry between the leads. But it all didn’t tie in well, especially Kunis being quiet relaxed finding out who she is. And all that forth and back to earth and jupiter, the galactic motorways must be bursting. Tatum looked silly and I did not understand the ending, so he is a breed with a certain animal why the wings?

  • Techno heaven or hell...

    Wow! Amazing scenes and some of the best acting talent... really enjoyable illusion or disillusion... If reincarnation and genetics are as religion and science... and the difference is as wide as your belief or calculation... who would you save? Watch and judge for yourself.

  • Really?

    This is one of these movies where you regret that you have not read the reviews BEFORE buying this movie. I can only agree with many opinions stated here and feel the ncessity to warn other people to NOT buy or rent this movie as it is a truly waste of money and time! The main reason is from my point of view the very very poor storyboard which can not decide to be just shallow or very complicated with the number of roles it has to introduce to the viewer. I leaves the bad taste in your mouth that there is something about the story itself but hundreds of wrong decisions were taken how to get it to the screen. Don't bother even if you are a fan of any of the actors. Don't buy! Don't waste your time

  • Not bad!

    it's never going to be the best Sci-Fi film, and doesn't set out to be. Not a bad way to spend a couple of hours on an overcast afternoon. And at a fiver - the price is ok too!

  • So Bad It’s Good

    But I guess it depends on what you are expecting to watch. I had no expectations and did not read the book, so it was a good entertaining movie for me. The plot was good for a one off movie not a trilogy. True the main villain sounded ridiculous, but let's pretend it was an artistic vision of somebody..
