Writers/Directors Andy and
Lana Wachowski’s Jupiter Ascending, that might have better been titled Jupiter
Descending, is an extremely stupid story that makes ill use of the
talents of Mila Kunis, Channing Tatum, Sean Bean and Eddie Redmayne, not to
mention the rest of the cast.
Only Tatum seems to,
occasionally, rise above the dreck.
Yes, there are some
amazing digital effects, but none are really engaging and the film is devoid of
tension. And, if Academy voters subtract
Redmaynes’s disastrous performance, here, from his brilliance in The
Theory of Everything, there goes the Oscar.
Only Cinematographer John
Toll and the Costume Department turn in their usual fabulous work.
Otherwise, Jupiter
Descending comes off like last week’s terrible Project Almanac, with the
only difference being that this was done by and with professionals. But, what a waste of good talent and money.
Jupiter
Descending only gets a 2 out of
5.
