    Regarding “Jupiter Ascending,” I don’t think the movie itself is as bad as it did at the box office, and I must say the VFX teams did truly outstanding work like this on all the environments. And I do like the fanciful ship design. #GroovyMovies #Film 🎥🎞️🎬

    I know they never would have in a million years gotten funding for a movie with a trans protagonist where they don't suffer/die but I do wish that Jupiter Ascending was a "boy" who was the reincarnation of a powerful Star Queen. That would have been gangbusters.

    LIKE I loooove Jupiter Ascending, but the screenplay is a mess, and none of the actors seem to agree what kind of movie they're in. Which are reasons it's compelling, but not reasons it's well-crafted But marry those space opera visuals with stronger writing/performances and look what you get!

    A pet peeve of mine: a film being described as stupid when it’s actually quite smart, it’s just not being Poe faced and “realistic” - like Jupiter Ascending is not stupid! starship troopers is not stupid! Flash Gordon is not stupid! What they are is silly, srtlized, exaggerated, satirical, camp!

    It may not resonate with many people because it’s quite a small industry. But after 25 years working in visual effects (cgi) whatever you call it now, I made my way to RnD which to me was always the coolest thing. (Helping define the future of the craft). About a year later the midjourney and ChatGPT shitstorm poured in. It took me 2, maybe 3 years, before I realised that I was fucking miserable, I didn’t give a shit about AI, didn’t find that it helped much more than what tight…

Everything has been a great disappointment since after its release in 2015. We should just pack up and end this whole experiment. All of time and space was about that film.

    I once made a list of 7 movies that fit this criteria. The Room, because duh. This movie is great because it is so terrible and sincerely thinks it is great. The story behind the movie is just as fantastic. If you must, get a hold of The Disaster Artist as an audio book. It is fantastic. Ignore and forget that piss tier James Franco movie that the book was based on. The book is so much better and it is hysterical to listen to in Greg's own voice + his Tommy impressions are perfect.…

    My theory is that Jupiter Ascending was supposed to be a trilogy, but the studio would only approve one movie with a wait-and-see approach to the second and third installments, and the Wachowskis just said "Fuck it," and crammed 6+ hours of plot and world building into a two-hour movie.

    The matrix sequels definitely muddle the pacing and characters, and they struggle to fill the void left by the central mystery of the first film, but the philosophising and action are both as good or better than the first film. Speed racer has already been critically reevaluated so I guess my wachowski hot take is that Jupiter Ascending is due. It's idiotic but it's a sweaty blast of pure cinema.

    'Jupiter Ascending' (2015) already feels weirdly aged in many ways. Maybe I'm just weirdly aged. Anyway, Sean Bean is a bee in this film and I would have liked to see an Animatrix style series about Sean Beean and all of his adventures. Channing Tatum's gun barks like a dog. Trans women rule.
