Jupiter Ascending then, is a missed opportunity for the Wachowskis—and a missed opportunity for viewers.

Some of the action scenes are above average and the 3D effects are not as jarring as they usually are. On the whole this is not the kind of film that fans of the Wachowski’s might be expecting but it is okay for a one time watch.

Overall, viewing “Jupiter Ascending” with its faulty script is a tedious affair. It leaves you gasping for oxygen.

Jupiter Ascending is worth a watch for its models of intergalactic technology, infrastructure and the fact that Sean Bean doesn’t die in this one.
