Leave your thoughts about Jupiter Ascending.
| Kaplan vs. KaplanDavid KaplanThe film gets sabotaged by overly long battle scenes, and an unconvincing love story. |
| New York Magazine/VultureDavid EdelsteinJupiter Ascending is inane from first frame to last - the dialogue is so clunky, I wondered if George Lucas had been brought in to do the rewrite. |
| TheWrapAlonso DuraldeWho cares if the story is occasionally impenetrable or if some gags land with a thud when the thrills and the eye candy keep coming at such a breathless pace? Jupiter Ascending doesn’t break the new ground that the Wachowskis have managed in the past...but the film never slacks in its efforts to wow us. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzAn empty viewing experience, that promised much and delivered little. |
| Spectrum (St. George, Utah)Bruce BennettAn utterly gorgeous visual delight, and it has some enjoyably goofy moments, managing to throw in some left-leaning, anti-elitism socio-economic subtext for good measure. |
| Huffington PostBrandon JudellSince this is a Wachowski offering, the visuals are frequently stunning in an overwhelming manner, and scene after scene is quite entertaining. There is a problem, though, with the casting. |
| Austin American-StatesmanJoe GrossIs there now enough evidence to support the idea that [The Matrix's] pop brilliance, its kinetic-yet-smartly-allegorical storytelling, was an anomaly? |
| Boston HeraldJames VerniereTatum looks ready for Star Trek night at Magic Mike's |
| FromTheBalconyBill ClarkJupiter Ascending sure looks nice, but beyond that it's an incomprehensible mess of a story and certainly the last big-budget gasp for the Wachowskis. |
| Bowling Green Daily NewsMicheal ComptonPerhaps it is time for the Wachowskis to stop trying to recreate The Matrix. |
