Jupiter Ascending **

Andy Wachowski, Lana Wachowski wrote and directed this Sci-Fi Action Film. Watch Preview. Cast: Sean Bean, James D'Arcy, Tim Pigott-Smith, Channing Tatum, Mila Kunis, Eddie Redmayne, Douglas Booth, Doona Bae, Tuppence Middleton. Rated PG-13 for some violence, sequences of sci-fi action, some suggestive content and partial nudity. Running time is two hours and seven minutes.

A young woman (Kunis) whose job is cleaning other people's houses discovers she's next in line for an extraordinary inheritance that could alter the balance of the cosmos.

This is hard-core sci-fi which means relatively few people are going to be comfortable with this plot. In other words, it's pretty far out! As a long time sci-fi fan I was comfortable with it but was less than pleased with the climax after climax film style. If you'd cut this up just right you could have a pretty good serial like I used to watch when I was a boy. But it makes for a pretty choppy experience as a film. The cast  is fine and the graphics are spectacular, if a little over the top on occasion. I watched this in IMAX 3D and it was just fine. My reaction to the film is pretty ho-hum and I find it hard to believe it's going to be around long.

There are no additional scenes once the final credits begin. If you decide to see it, go for the largest possible screen. 2D Theatres/Times. 3D Theatres/Times. IMAX 3D Times.
