Jupiter Ascending
Rent & Buy
In a universe where human genetic material is the most precious commodity, an impoverished young Earth woman becomes the key to strategic maneuvers and internal strife within a powerful dynasty…
What critics thought
A box-office disappointment that critics largely dismissed as visually spectacular but narratively incoherent, Jupiter Ascending has nonetheless developed a genuine cult following, particularly among female sci-fi fans who responded to its unabashed wish-fulfillment fantasy. The sharpest divide is between critics who found it irredeemably dumb and those who found its gonzo ambition weirdly charming — with Eddie Redmayne's campy, whispering villain serving as the film's most polarizing single element.
“inane from the first frame to last ... it's miraculously unmiraculous”
David Edelstein·Vulture
“so over-the-top with his effeminate mannerisms and Bane-style whisper voice that Jupiter Ascending devolves into an absurd comedy whenever he's onscreen”
Kofi Outlaw·Screen Rant
“It might not be as compelling a synthesis of pop philosophy and geek tastes as The Matrix, but it feels personal in the way that big-budget, effects-driven movies rarely do.”
