"Jupiter Ascending" is another cartoon camouflaged as a movie and I'm already probably one tok over the line for high-tech spaceship chases after the guy with anti-grav boots. Kee-rist, you see one and you've seem them all, right? Just one more guy with super-fast anti-gravity boots ... again? Unknown if I'll watch the rest of it. Kind of fed-up already.
Timing didn't work out as I had hoped for getting much done musically so I figured, screw it, this is Sunday so let's watch a movie.
Some think movies of this nature with lots of spectacle and minimal story are entertaining for stoners and maybe that's true for a short time but not for long. As we're understanding it, this crap is in high-demand from young Asian boys and they're a high-dollar market for Hollywood.
Bourne has the same problem of interminable car chases and that may seem like stoner paradise ... but it's only a bore. If anything, the ganja gets you more into the story and all the time this stupid car chase continues we're thinking, ela, ela, get on with it. We know you won't kill the hero so ... so ... what happens next?
Even before a chase starts, you know they won't kill of the hero nor the hot babe but the buddy who happened into the story is a spy on toast. Ah well, sucks to be friends with super heroes, it seems. It's the same as not having a named part in "Star Trek" because those ones never make it. See "Galaxy Quest" for confirmation.
