Jupiter Ascending (Blu-ray Review)

June 28, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Mila Kunis, Channing Tatum, Eddie Redmayne, Douglas Booth, Sean Bean
Director: Lilly Wachowski, Lana Wachowski
Running Time: 127 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: June 29th 2015 (UK)

When Jupiter Ascending was moved from a prime Summer 2014 cinema release to early 2015, it didn’t auger well. And when the reviews finally rolled in, it looked like people were right to be suspicious of the Wachowskis’ $175 million space opera. However, while it’s far from being a masterpiece, there is just about enough fun peeking through the nonsense.

Mila Kunis is Jupiter Jones, a seemingly normal girl from a Russian immigrant family, who is working as a cleaner and unsure what to do with her life (or even if she should bother to do anything). However, it turns out she is the genetic reincarnation of a murdered space queen, and because of that, she should be able to inherit the queen’s vast wealth. [Read more…]

New Jupiter Ascending Trailer – Fresh look at Channing Tatum & Mila Kunis in the Wachowski’s epic sci-fi

September 26, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

jupiter-ascending-poster1-slideIt didn’t bode well when the release date for the Wachowskis Jupiter Ascending was moved back from summer 2014 to February 2015, but there’s no doubt the trailers look cool – rather weird, but cool.

Now another one has arrived, giving us our best look yet at the scope of the sci-fi saga – as well as Channing Tatum and his pointy ears.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Channing Tatum and Mila Kunis star in “Jupiter Ascending,” an original science fiction epic adventure from filmmakers Lana and Andy Wachowski (The Matrix).

‘Jupiter Jones (Kunis) was born under a night sky, with signs predicting that she was destined for great things. Now grown, Jupiter dreams of the stars but wakes up to the cold reality of a job cleaning other people’s houses and an endless run of bad breaks. Only when Caine (Tatum), a genetically engineered ex-military hunter, arrives on Earth to track her down does Jupiter begin to glimpse the fate that has been waiting for her all along—her genetic signature marks her as next in line for an extraordinary inheritance that could alter the balance of the cosmos.’ [Read more…]

New Jupiter Ascending Trailer – The Wachowskis get epic with Channing Tatum & Mila Kunis

March 27, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


A new trailer for Andy and Lana Wachowski’s Jupiter Ascending has arrived, which certainly makes the movie look pretty epic. However the jury is slightly out, as historically this sort of film, which takes sci-fi to the edge of fantasy, has always looked great beforehand but underwhelmed on release (e.g. The Chronicles Of Riddick or Dune).

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Channing Tatum and Mila Kunis star in “Jupiter Ascending,” an original science fiction epic adventure from filmmakers Lana and Andy Wachowski (The Matrix).

‘Jupiter Jones (Kunis) was born under a night sky, with signs predicting that she was destined for great things. Now grown, Jupiter dreams of the stars but wakes up to the cold reality of a job cleaning other people’s houses and an endless run of bad breaks. Only when Caine (Tatum), a genetically engineered ex-military hunter, arrives on Earth to track her down does Jupiter begin to glimpse the fate that has been waiting for her all along—her genetic signature marks her as next in line for an extraordinary inheritance that could alter the balance of the cosmos.’

We’re definitely hoping the actual movie is as cool as it appears when it’s released in July. [Read more…]

March 26, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Jupiter-Ascending-character-poster1The trailers for Jupiter Ascending may look cool but a little confusing, but these character posters certainly suggest Channing Tatum and Mila Kunis are gonna be looking incredibly good in the Wachowskis’ movie – even if Tatum is all pointy-eared.

You can see the posters above and below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Channing Tatum and Mila Kunis star in “Jupiter Ascending,” an original science fiction epic adventure from filmmakers Lana and Andy Wachowski.

‘Jupiter Jones (Kunis) was born under a night sky, with signs predicting that she was destined for great things.

‘From the streets of Chicago to far flung galaxies whirling through space, “Jupiter Ascending” is written and directed by the Wachowskis. Award-winning producer Grant Hill, with whom they have collaborated since “The Matrix” Trilogy, is producing, together with Lana Wachowski and Andy Wachowski. Roberto Malerba and Bruce Berman serve as executive producers.’

Last month the first trailer for the Wachowski’s Jupiter Ascending arrived, which showed us Channing Tatum looking surprisingly pixie-like. Now we get another look at him as he leaps into action in the movie, all guns blazing.

It’s certainly one of the most intriguing movies of the year.

December 10, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


The Wachowskis are coming back with Jupiter Ascending, and if this trailer is anything to go by, it’s going to look as awesome as you’d hope from Lana and Andy. There’s certainly some unexpected imagery, including Channing Tatum channelling his inner elf.
