Flush with disappointment

Jupiter Ascending (2015)

Written & directed by The Wachowskis this film stars Mila Kunis, Channing Tatum, Sean Bean and Eddie Redmayne. A young woman stuck cleaning toilets finds out she is a space princess.

Disappointingly this film has so much unfulfilled potential, the characters completely lack depth and the themes are explored too little, too late. There is far too much emphasis on plot, too much telling over showing when it comes to back story/character and I found the protagonist far too passive. I was also not a huge fan of some of the special effects. It could well be that a three hour version of this story would have given room to solve a lot of the problems here.


2/5
