![]() ![]() While the plot of Jupiter Ascending was hackneyed, it had pretty interesting characters whose backstories would have been fun for the audience to explore. There was potential to explore and mine all that richness for more stories but this is undermined by the weak delivery of the first film in what the studios were probably hoping would be a new franchise. There are soldiers spliced with animal DNAs such as Caine (Channing Tatum) who has some wolf in him and Stinger (Sean Bean) who has some bee in him (guess where they got their names from?). ![]() An entirely different reality of an alternative universe with its own ecosystem, species and history is created. ![]() For a start, like all sci-fi films, Jupiter Ascending is ambitious in its storytelling. Which is a great pity because, on paper, Jupiter Ascending really had potential. The costumes are stunning (as are the actors). The action sequences are generally well paced and I applaud the fact that CGI for the actions were kept minimal. After all, who cares about plot, lines and pacing right? Jupiter Ascending is really very much a visual feast but nothing more than that. Unless your idea of what makes a film good is huge explosions, pretty characters prancing around in elaborate costumes and beautiful visuals.
