Jeff, a friend wanted to go see JUPITER ASCENDING. Diane and I got $70 worth of Regal Theater gift cards for Christmas so I went for free. What a waste!
I probably would give it a C-. It has enormous story problems because they tried to do too much with it, but the visuals were outstanding and there was enough of a beginning middle and end there that I’m okay with having seen it on the big screen. Sadly, it was just one more of those movies that made me think what could have been had they hired competent writers.
But you knew that already!
Why did you see it? And will it hurt Eddie Redmayne’s Oscar chances the way NORBIT did for Eddie Murphy?

So you didn’t even like the special effects, spaceships and such? The trailer kinda made it look like fun.
Rick, don’t be deceived! The trailer is enticing but the actual movie is a complete mess. Terrible!
I thought the trailer looked terrible. Most reviews that I have seen are pretty bad.
Steve, JUPITER ASCENDING is a complete mess. I posted this review a day early to warn people about how bad this movie is.
Rieview here said they spent 25 million on fx and 25 cents on the plot.
Rick, that’s about right. The plot borders on incomprehensible.
The acid test: Does Mila get nekked? If so, it should at least get a B+.
Bob, the answer to that question would be a SPOILER and we avoid those on this blog.

Carl, I had the same reaction. The plot was muddled, but the visuals were impressive.
