Jupiter Jones (Mila Kunis), born amid a storm on a ship bound for the United States, lives a life of drudgery cleaning toilets for her overbearing family. Unbeknownst to her, her genetic code is a perfect recurrence of the late Matriarch of the House of Abrasax, a powerful alien dynasty that owns Earth. As the rightful heir, she is the key to controlling a highly valuable, untapped planetary resource. The Twist: The movie features perhaps the greatest
When an assassination squad from the Abrasax empire attempts to kill her, Jupiter is rescued by Caine Wise (Channing Tatum), a genetically engineered ex-military hunter (a "Splice" — part wolf, part human). He informs her of her true lineage. Jupiter is thrust into a war between three scheming siblings: the hedonistic Balem (Eddie Redmayne), the ruthless Kalique (Tuppence Middleton), and the manipulative Titus (Douglas Booth). Each seeks to control her inheritance, as harvesting Earth’s population would grant them the key to immortality — a longevity serum refined from organic life.
As Jupiter navigates this ornate and dangerous bureaucracy, she must claim her throne, evade corporate assassins, resist forced marriage, and decide whether humanity is merely a crop to be harvested or something worth saving.
Jupiter Ascending failed at the box office because critics tried to judge it as a serious sci-fi epic. It is not. It is a space fairytale that moves at 100mph.
It is the perfect "Friday Night Movie." It demands you turn off your brain and open your heart to rollerblading wolf-men, whispery villains, and bee-detecting DNA. It is a chaotic, beautiful mess that proves original sci-fi—even when it fails—is infinitely more entertaining than a safe, corporate reboot.
Score: 8/10 space bees.
