What happens when you take Cinderella and toss it in a vitamix with Star Wars? If you turn it up to high, you get this week’s film — the Wachowski’s Jupiter Ascending (2015). We’re joined by Paul4AllSeasons, artist, gamer, and streamer, to discuss this adolescent-female-fantasy-meets-space-opera.
As a Wachowski film, we could tell that this film would at least be a visual treat. While most of the sets were CG, they were well crafted and a lot of artistry went into them. Although there are a lot of strange casting choices, Eddie Redmayne gave this film the performance to end all performances — so at least there's that.
Maybe we just weren't the core audience for Jupiter. That's fine — we still found ourselves hopeful for a sequel.
