The negative reviewers of this movie prove a very dangerous thesis. That cognitively (I did or did not just make up that word.) challenged less-evolved humans ( Those whom are not right-brain dominant.) should NOT be allowed to write movie reviews or vote. Stupidity has a momentum all its own and can cause disasters of universal proportions. First of all, I am not an expert in movies. No one is. Just as there are no experts in poetry either. All anyone can do is offer informed and studied opinion and in my informed and studied opinion Jupiter Ascending is a gloriously fun and entertaining movie. Is it extraordinary? I don't feel so but since in my opinion I've only seen one that came close and that was Lawrence of Arabia. Peter O'toole is definitely in my top ten of greatest actors. Sorry, I digress. After reading hundreds of negative reviews about this movie the one consistent theme throughout all of them was that the reviewers wanted specific things from the movie before actually seeing it. They kept harping about how everything was so shallow and not fleshed out. It was as if they wanted a great movie without themselves having to work at making it a great movie. An audience brings a great movie to the theatre. Your imagination should be flying even before you get to the theatre. But obviously these reviewers left their imaginations at home (If they even possess one.) because to say this movie is lacking (in my opinion) in anything is ludicrous. The first time I watched this film I had no knowledge of it, hence no preconceived notions. Just the title and companion graphics peeked my interest enough to watch the trailer. I watched it immediately. I was still unaware of the backstory to this film even though I saw it for the first time in fall of 2017. I was amazed, truly amazed. As of this writing I've watched it dozens of times and every time my imagination fills in just a little more of the Universe that the W's created. This movie gives you just enough in all the right ways so YOU can CREATE an incredible story. Just a few more things and I'll leave you to watch this wonderful movie. After you do, then come back and read these reviews again and you will see some of their ideas on the film are completely wrong. The reviewers keep screaming about plot blanks. That the characters get from one point to another with no continuity. This is patently false. Not once did I ever lose the thread of what was taking place. Of course, I have an imagination so I don't need everything explained. But that's just me... If you're a voracious reader like myself you tend, or always perhaps, see the novel in movie form. With great attention to detail you fill in the blanks of the scene the author is describing. With movies, especially this movie, the directors have given you the most glorious visuals and as always the dialogue is there for context. It is up to you to create this stunning world you have been given a glimpse of. I wish you could see it the way I saw it, with an utter lack of reference but please do your best. Never take an opinion on faith, even if that opinion is accepted as fact by millions. Ones opinion can be a tragedy. Millions blindly following that same opinion can be an election.10/10

There is virtually no cinema craft here, they didn't even try. Its basically Channing Tatum and Mila Kunis mumbling their lines in monotone in front of a green screen, surrounding by far more talented British thespians. Aside from that, its a CGI cartoon. So little attention is to the art of filmmaking, its as though they were mocking it. Great Science Fiction has always hinged on great storytelling, without that, there's really no point.

The movie has such good grafics and could've been a great one but hollywood did it again. The scipt is just the worst, trying to make a sciencefiction / action movie more apealing for women with love, drama and uncomfortable scenes of a ordinary life of a girl. With some extra gay scenes and afro american characters this would be perfecly PC. I wich they would go back to making movies for the story rather than making them for an audience.

There was enough multiple ideas to make a whole entire alternative universe and with good casting and character development it could be fun scary touching but they shoved it all ina film that is too long in the end. Lovely visuals costume design sets and some acting but i was really bored and felt like they wasted time, which was the whole point of the harvesting of humans just like scientology claims LOL. Too bad they didnt take a longer view and made 3 awesome well paced films...this failed for me. Aslo does the woman ha e to believe the last man she talks to like some female goodlookimg Trump PRESIDENT!?
