Jupiter Ascending - 6.5/10
Unfortunately it was little disappointing for me. Gorgeous looking film, but it suffers from some poor pacing and an under performing female lead. I don't mind Mila Kunis, but a more capable actress might have gone a long way to help the audience actually care about her situation. That and too much down time with constant boring exposition about each villain's agenda kept this one from being more fun. It also get's a little too campy at times. I don't mind some campiness, but it often felt out of place. Worth a rental though.

Jupiter Ascending 6\10
Really wanted to like this one, but it´s a bit of a mess.
Really strange pacing plus some very cheesy dialogue can´t save the film.....
The Wachowskis are in trouble imo.

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

Gotta add Running Scared to the viewing queue. Heard good things about it from others as well.

Don't think you'll regret it. Good crime movie, but also very trippy.

Jupiter Descending 4/10 Just rent it. There were some good visuals, some interesting action scenes, interesting concept. But man, was this script a mess. There were ppl laughing in scenes that were meant to be taken serious. Eddie Redmayne good actor and all but wow that voice...yeah...lol I didnt mind Tatum and Sean Bean. Mila was boring, I didnt care about the character. This Movie kinda reminded me of the Phantom Menace. Some good moments and then blah oh Darth Maul fight then blah.

I feel like they were given so much praise for The Matrix that they just think every thought must be as brilliant... But sadly they are surely struggling to find that success again.
