Jupiter Ascending

The visuals are amazing, but the story is goofy. The Wachowskis deserve major kudos for making original, big-budget, non-sequel sci-fi movies. But this movie becomes more about the action scenes, movement, and color than it does about the ideas. Without well-explored ideas about worlds beyond our own, sci-fi becomes more about the “fi” and less about the “sci.” One hopes that in the future, and maybe if they’re forced into a lower budget range, the siblings will continue to push the envelope without seeming pressured to fill the screen with action.
