While the Wachowskis have always put their greatest emphasis on aesthetics, they allow the visual impulse to get the best of them here...
Full reviewThe Wachowskis' sci-fi epic, starring Mila Kunis and Channing Tatum. In a universe where humans are unaware of being near the bottom of the evolutionary ladder, a woman unknowingly set to inherit vast wealth and power is targeted for assassination.
From the streets of Chicago to far-flung galaxies, Jupiter Ascending tells the story of Jupiter Jones (Kunis), who was born with signs predicting she was destined for great things. Now grown, Jupiter still dreams of the stars but is destitute. Only when Caine (Tatum), a genetically engineered ex-military hunter, arrives on Earth to track her down does Jupiter begin to glimpse the fate that has been waiting for her all along - her genetic signature marks her as next in line for an extraordinary inheritance that could alter the balance of the cosmos.

Full reviewBoth visually and in the action stakes, Jupiter Ascending could give pretty much any space movie a run for its money.
Full reviewYou may fear for your sanity during Jupiter Ascending, but you’ll come out smiling.
Full reviewA big, woozy, spacey fairy tale with a science-fiction exoskeleton and a core of pure mush.
Full reviewIt’s all very chaotic and entertaining, like a bizarre cult sci-fi TV show that somehow survived a threat of mid-season cancellation.
Full reviewNot as funny as Guardians, as awe-inspiring as Interstellar, as thrilling as Edge Of Tomorrow, or as provocative as Under The Skin.
Full reviewAnyone hoping for the old Matrix magic to rematerialize (it's been 15 years) is due for more disappointment.
Full reviewIt’s frequently entertaining, but as much for its terrible moments as its inspired touches.
