Jupiter Ascending News
This is what the newly reformed Valiant Entertainment has been building towards for the last few years Turning the superhero line they publish into movies. There have been lots of rumours along the way, lots of projects announced, teased and rumoured. But now they have shown us the money. Valiant PR gave the word to the New York Times. Hundreds of millions to make Valiant-based TV shows, and movies for the cinema. And they have also received tens of millions of investment into the New York publisher itself, from the Beijing-based entertainment company DMG who co-funded Iron Man 3.

It was on the fifth or fifteenth major sequence of extraordinary outer space somethingorothers doing something extraordinary in Jupiter Ascending that I realized I no longer cared about visual effects as a category of achievement. There are what seem like dozens of such sequences in Jupiter, and that's part of the film's problem; the "been there, done that"-ness of Jupiter is lethal. (Read Loïc Valceschini's full review of Jupiter Ascending here.) Now, with my realization about effects came a corollary understanding: at some point, I did care about special effects.

In The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water, the main characters use a magical book to give themselves superpowers: SpongeBob becomes The Invincibubble, Patrick becomes Super-Awesomeness, Squidward becomes Sour Note, Mr. Krabs becomes Sir Pinch-a-Lot and Plankton becomes Plank-Ton.
They could've looked a lot different if producers had chosen to go with Larry T. Quach's designs instead. Back in 2012, when he was working for Rhythm and Hues he designed them as The Avengers: SpongeBob SquarePants as Captain America, Patrick Star as The Hulk, Squidward Tentacles as Thor, Mr.

Good or bad, the films of the writing/directing sibling duo, The Wachowskis, have always struck a chord of interest. Even their less respected works either present noteworthy, sci-fi questions or deliver cool, sci-fi extravaganzas for the senses. Jupiter Ascending is their film most deserving of deep deconstruction. It’s a messy film, one that seems to have been sadly cut to shreds by post-production meddling. Its frantic structure and goofy accents keep it on the fringe of landing as highly as many of their previous works, perhaps all of them.

The Wachowskis’ Jupiter Ascending is a total mess. It’s plot is nearly incomprehensible. It feels like there’s a director’s cut out there with at least a half hour more of explanatory plot details and character development. It introduces various story lines and characters whose appear on the screen for minutes before they vanish and are never followed up on. It borrows heavily from The Wachowskis’ own film, The Matrix, yet is crammed full of ideas that have appeared in other, better fantasy and sci-fi films.
And yet, I couldn’t help but enjoy it.
