No big post today, since I’m on a plane. But here’s a link to my review of Jupiter Ascending over at Smart Bitches, Trashy Books. An excerpt:
Is the movie “good”?
No, in the sense that it was relentlessly derivative, totally soapy, had some god-awful lines, a plot that frankly never did make much sense, and characters that had very little development and when they did develop it was in peculiar ways.
Yes, in the sense that Channing Tatum roller blades in anti gravity boots and fights an alien space dragon-dinosaur soldier while everything in the background explodes.
Happy President’s Week!
Its the Wachowski’s fault Jupiter Ascending got made. After their “failure” of their interpretation of the novel Cloud Atlas, they needed to way better review what sci-fi projects they were going to do.
