News Flash: Popular grossing movies does not me Tatum can act. He was actually very dry in Foxcatcher, carried by others. Tatum helped write Magic Mike which actually had good dialogue and better direction.

A movie "looks good" its a good movie? Whatever floats your boat.
I don't typically pay attention to other people's reviews. Waterworks got bombed, but it is one of my favorites. Everyone has their own tastes. I really want to see this, and probably will next Monday. It's a toss up between that and Seventh Son, which apparently also comes out this week. The difference being the theater closest to me doesn't have seventh son for some reason. My roommate and I would have to go to the other side of town to see it. Which we aren't apposed to, but it is a factor.
Ok, some people wont like this film. So here is how you can tell if you will like it or not.
Do you like Anime? Yes / No - if no do not see this film
Do you like Classic Disney? Yes / No - If no do not see this film
Did you Enjoy all of the the following films Matrix Trilogy, Speed Racer, Cloud Atlas? Yes / No - If no do not see this film
If you answered Yes to these questions, you will enjoy the film, and will want to talk to others who also enjoyed the film, since there are some really cool universe building ideas in that movie.
Apparently, the movie is a huge flop already. Raking in only 51 mil of a 149 mil budget. And it is being panned widely.
My company did focus groups for this film. Test audiences were not enthused.
I actually thought it was fun. Way better than The Seventh Son that I watched last week (that one was really horrible).
Kinda looks like Warhammer 40K, if 40K's target audience was 14 year old girls honestly.

I love scifi films, even the bad ones, but i'll skip this movie cause of Tatum. There are no words how much i hate him and his shitty acting. Those fake ears and his goat face on the poster makes me pounch the monitor every time i see it.
I loved the visual concepts, design and all the small characters from the supporting cast. Also, Sean Bean.
But the plot, the main characters (not only heroes but also the baddies) were so bad, that I would definitely not add this movie to my collection. Disappointing work after the Matrix and Cloud Atlas.
I guess they wanted to avoid the "Neo Messias" thing in creating the "queen of the universe" main character - but it just went in the wrong direction. Some characters in the movie say, that this girl is too clever, but she is so stupid, it's unbelievable. *sighs*

Little more on the film's performance.
I thought it looked fairly bad last summer, and then they pushed it back to this month, I figured they'd just box it up, but the new trailers made it look like it was different, but the last set of trailers was the same shit we saw last summer. I love Mila, but this looked so bad. I'll netflix it.

Currently playing: WoW, D3, SC2, and wait for it ... Red Alert 3. (And possibly some Goldeneye here or there.)
Your first 3 words are absolutely laughable, this movie has revolutionary action scenes, they are fucking amazing. Cinematography is top notch as well, just acting and some really retarded story details drag it down.
No one should believe what the person I quoted says, if in doubt go watch it yourself. I had a blast watching it, if only for the amazing action sequences on imax.

How so? I'm just curious I love action movies, and I tend to read reviews of fellow action lovers...all of them I know, people who I agree with 90% of the time, say the action in Jupiter Ascending is boring(and nothing in the trailer is remotely impressive). So as someone who disagrees, what makes the action scenes "revolutionary" in your eyes?
I wouldnt say its terrible. The action scenes, and cinematography were great. Mila Kunis was fine. Channing Tatum was just bad... but then again, hes a pretty bad actor, only getting 21 jump street fine, and that wasnt acting, (oh and his cameo in this is the end).
The writing for dialog was pretty bad, but thats not that bad, since most garbage we get now a days is bad writing. The actual story is pretty good. It was just condensed for a 2hr 30 min movie, and then over simplified. I love space operas, but with space operas, they are typically very complicated stories, which makes the reader interested. For this, they were barely touched on, making the story feel either very simple (for people like myself), or for slow people, not understandable.
As someone that likes space opera, I happened to like the movie, even with its cheesiness, and a few terrible actings. (the villian is trying to best impression of both marlon brando and voldemort's accent). But if you cannot follow simplicity at its easiest, and get bored easy if explosions are not happening all the time (ala michael bay), then this movie is not for you. Its not an "action" movie, yes it does have it, but thats not the main thing about it. Its not star wars or the matrix.
the best they could have done was make 2 movies rather than condensing everything into 1, there were so many plot points that were not addressed (like the dragon aliens) that many of the things were left unanswered. Think Dune... so many plot points that were addressed, yet, alot were left, and that large novel was condensed into a 3 hr movie... what they did right, was the miniseries.
But since the film bombed, I am kinda sad. I liked it. Everyone I went with liked it.
