There is not a piece of a narration in Jupiter Ascending with the potential to fascinate or surprise or to astonish. And that alone is very saddening.
The flick is build around CGI and costumes and a very poor copy of the Matrix plot: A no one is chosen to save the world and dives, like Alice in the rabbit hole, in an invisible universe.
Unfortunately under this narrative DNA is only an epically bad written repetitive pattern of Jupiter being saved that you don't care what happens, because you know for sure, she will be saved again. You get a feeling for the constructiveness of every bit of tension, and not in the good way. You are literally ripped out of the fiction. But the movie is not that bad. It is worse. The viewer gets bored by the visible intention to create a universe for a franchise by over-explaining the most uninteresting crap, tried to get relieved from this tension desert by foreseeable love and action jerk.
176 Million Dollars to make THIS is embarrassing.
