Jupiter Ascending
Jupiter Ascending is about Jupiter Jones, who was born on Earth but turns out she is the reincarnation of a royalty, one that owns Earth. Of course, family feuds come in the way, trying to stop her from obtaining her right, because Earth was a populated by these "aliens", in order to breed them and eventually harvest (i.e. kill) to develop the aliens' immortality substances. While the concept is interesting, Jupiter Ascending eventually falls flat due to the awkward pacing and bland dialogue. The first half an hour is somewhat decent but it degenerates into another typical mess of a story with scenes that does not add much to the story, and generic action sequences. The characters are not likable and there is no chemistry between the lovers, it all feels artificial. Some of the technology they used were not very original. Overall, Jupiter Ascending is a mediocre movie.
