The science in Jupiter Ascending has the same relationship to physics that I have to going to the gym: aspirational.

Jupiter Ascending is what happens when a writers' room confuses "ambiguous" with "didn't finish the draft".

If exposition were a contact sport, Jupiter Ascending would be banned for life.

Jupiter Ascending treats "worldbuilding" the way a toddler treats a fruit bowl — enthusiastically, briefly, then forgotten.

Unpopular opinion: Jupiter Ascending is the most overrated film of the decade
Everyone praising the Jupiter Ascending performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

Hot Take: Jupiter Ascending's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Rewatched Jupiter Ascending last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Jupiter Ascending actually is?
Look, I wanted to love Jupiter Ascending. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Jupiter Ascending?
Just got out of Jupiter Ascending and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.
