    Jupiter Ascending

    They seed the galaxy and harvest whole planets to create an immortality serum. Fantastic world concept … but a subpar story to make a movie about within that world.

      And all the stuff about the genetic lottery, there being so many humans that eventually a perfect match gets born randomly is a cool premise.

      I wish Jupiter Ascending could have some sequels to spend going full space soap opera.

        I know! The idea that a perfect clone/cop could be born was amazing. If only they would make a movie about … oh yeah, I forgot. They did.

      I was so hyped when I saw the trailers, because the visuals and ideas of the story they showcased were exactly my jam. But oh boy, what a dumpster fire the whole movie turned out to be.

      Edit: yep, still goosebumps watching the trailer

      oh yeah, I remember liking the genetic aspect of that too. But yeah, poor story, and not Mila Kunis’s best acting
