Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Movie-Inspector Unfortunately, the story can not keep up with the visuals/design of Jupiter Ascending. But still entertaining - if you like movies such as The Fifth Element, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, Guardians of the Galaxy, John Carter, Green Lantern, Immortal etc. comes to mind.Fantasy sci-fi with superb visual powers, a fine cast, and well, sadly, a little too generic story - a more interesting story, this movie would have been top notch.

chas437 There is virtually no cinema craft here, they didn't even try. Its basically Channing Tatum and Mila Kunis mumbling their lines in monotone in front of a green screen, surrounding by far more talented British thespians. Aside from that, its a CGI cartoon. So little attention is to the art of filmmaking, its as though they were mocking it. Great Science Fiction has always hinged on great storytelling, without that, there's really no point.

Katherine W I seem to be one of the very few people who loved this movie. The eternal oddball, that's me. I didn't like Mila Kunis much, to be honest. I never do. She's one of those actresses who wear the same face from the beginning to the end of amovie (in every movie), but I loved everything else. Visually, it must be one of the most beautiful movies I have ever seen. The costumes, the spaceships, the action scenes, the quirky little details, the photography... everything is magnificent. Amazing: a love story in a sci-fi movie! Amazing: eye candy for female viewers in a sci-fi movie! Amazing: Sean Bean makes it all the way to the end of the movie without being gruesomely slaughtered! I am not in any way enthusiastic about royals and royalty and all that crap, but here it works the same way it works in traditional fairytales. The whole plot of the movie is very much a traditional fairytale, Cinderella becomes a princess, the three adversaries, etc... It may not work for some, but it does or me. Lots of secondary characters that stand out as truly interesting and memorable, unlike so many movies where one or two great characters float in a void of appalling acting. I didn't know Eddie Redmayne before this movie and I know many ridiculed his performance here, but it made a perfectly convincing creepy villain for me. It is a movie that has its own strange purity, and courage too, using traditional narrative shapes that don't belong to the genre, weaving them together with elements of fantasy and comedy and romance... I suppose it could not work in this cynical time. I am sorry that it did so badly because I would have loved to spend more time in this universe, in a sequel (or two). It is such a different and colourful take on Sci-fi, a genre in which so many movies, books and series are basically interchangeable.

rabbitmoon I felt cerebrally exhausted watching JA. More so than any Tarkovsky/Bergman/Kieslowski film. Because I just couldn't figure out what the hell I was watching. It is satire? What is it saying? Why is so cliched, while in the extras everyone on set is saying how original the Wachoskis are, and never settle for anything unoriginal? Is the whole thing a Hollywood joke? Are the Wachowskis angry about something (the critical reception to the Matrix sequels) and punishing us? I just couldn't figure it out. The film itself is terrible. The characters, acting, story, makeup, dialogue -everything about it was painful. Genuinely, The Room is a better is a better and more coherent film. I can't even say it 'looked gorgeous' or that the CGI was 'breathtaking' because it wasn't - the whole thing looks like a greenscreen digital computer game. Nothing is plausible as 'reality', every aspect of it is phony. I just don't get it. I thought The Commuter was the worst film I'd seen in recent years, but JA is the worst film I have EVER seen. I just can't understand how it came from the same people who made Bound and The Matrix. They clearly need help on some level.
