Jupiter Ascending Review

[feilongfan]

I went to see Jupiter Ascending yesterday at 7pm. There were about 20-30 people. I chose 3D, but the theatre got their projector messed up. So the first 10 minutes were ruined. I thought the theatre would give us a free ticket for compensation. It didn't happen

I saw the movie in regular format. The Abrasax kids just seemed bratty and so they spent all this effort and money to be immortal but then they could also get reincarnated (the mom seemed pretty sure of it if she wrote her future self into her will).

The movie influences where just everywhere. Eddie Redmayne's performance reminds me of Gary Oldman, he's done weirdo over the top characters and people still think he's a good actor.

I liked the stoic Channing Scenes. It fit his kinda mysterious character but he needs to work on the nuance.

The sex scene was very Captain Kirk ;) Overall the movie kinda reminded me of Fifth Element but Fifth element is cooler.

Jupiter and her family and the story about telescope were cute.

And yeah right away I was like is Channing on rollerskates? How very 80's low budget sci-fi like the movie Solarbabies. Loved the wings though.

The wings are probably the best things about the movie. But how did he get it back? Jupiter and her family are okay, but she didn't really grow much other than appreciating her family more

I thought the space cops or whatever they were gave him back his wings.

Balem definitely was just a rich brat, and what happened with the sister? I thought she would try harder to steal earth from jupiter.

I thought the ear thing was their attempt to make aliens that are still pretty though, I mean they have to change something to make them stand out as aliens but still Humanoid enough that people find them pretty. It doesn't always work. Look at Avatar. I think they made Caine blond to avoid the Mirror Spock comparisons.

> I thought the space cops or whatever they were gave him back his wings.

I still don't know if he grows wings or these are mechanical ones.

But Sean Bean looks normal even he has bee genes. Gugu is a very attractive girl, but when I first saw her ears in this movie, I was appalled. Anyway, the movie is tracking to make less than 20M this weekend. Let's see how well it is received overseas.

> I think they made Caine blond to avoid the Mirror Spock comparisons.

But people say Caine looks like Mugatu from Zoolander. I would rather see Caine transforming into a wolf at some point. Well, well, at least he has wings. I need a new userpic now.

There are already Kirk/Caine fanfictions on Tumblr.

HAHA, I'll have to check these out. Though I much prefer the idea of him being their grown up son. I would love Channing and Chris Pine to do a comedy together.
