Jupiter Ascending is a 2015 space opera film[5] written, directed and co-produced by the Wachowskis. Starring Channing Tatum and Mila Kunis with Sean Bean, Eddie Redmayne and Douglas Booth in supporting roles, the film is centered on Jupiter Jones (Kunis), an ordinary cleaning woman, and Caine Wise (Tatum), an interplanetary warrior who informs Jones that her destiny extends beyond Earth. Supporting cast member Douglas Booth has described the film's fictional universe as a cross between The Matrix and Star Wars,[6][7][8] while Kunis identified indulgence[9] and consumerism as its underlying themes.[10][11][12]

The film was produced by Grant Hill and the Wachowskis, making Jupiter Ascending Hill's seventh collaboration with the Wachowskis as producer or executive producer. Several more longstanding Wachowski collaborators since the creation of the Matrix films contributed to the picture,[13] including production designer Hugh Bateup, visual effects supervisor Dan Glass, visual effects designer John Gaeta, standby propman Alex Boswell, supervising sound editor Dane Davis and costume designer Kym Barrett. Other notable past collaborators include Speed Racer composer Michael Giacchino, Cloud Atlas director of photography John Toll along with its editor Alexander Berner and hair and make-up designer Jeremy Woodhead, who worked on both.

Jupiter Ascending was released in the United States on February 6, 2015, by Warner Bros. Pictures. The film received generally negative reviews from critics; despite impressive visual effects, the narrative was criticized as confusing. It grossed $184 million against a $176–210 million budget during its theatrical release.

Plot

Jupiter explains her father, Maximilian, met her mother Aleksa in Saint Petersburg, Russia. They bonded over Max's hobby as an amateur astronomer. But some months later Max is killed during a botched robbery. Jupiter was born posthumously and was named after Max's favorite planet in memory of him. When Jupiter was very young, her mother and she moved to Chicago to live with family.

Years later, Jupiter makes a living as a housekeeper. Desiring a telescope, Jupiter is manipulated into selling her egg cells by her cousin Vladie. Later that evening, Jupiter and her friend Katharine are chatting. When Jupiter steps away, Katerine is attacked by extraterrestrial Keepers. Jupiter photographs them using her smartphone. However, the Keepers find Jupiter and flash a light in her face. Later, Jupiter finds the photograph on her phone while waiting at a donor clinic where she used Katherine's name as a pseudonym. She cannot recall anything about the photo or who the strange, translucent creatures were. During the exam, Jupiter sees the doctors and nurses are are the same creatures from the photo, but in disguise. They are exposed when the clinic's harsh fluorescent lights reflect off their faces. Jupiter panics but she is restrained. After the Keepers verify Jupiter's identity they try to kill her.

Jupiter is rescued by Caine, a former soldier. He kills all the Keepers, except one. They try to leave Earth but the Keepers locate them and destroy their ship. Caine fends off the attack, kills the Keepers, and steals a car. They drive to a safe house owned by Stinger, a former soldier living in exile on Earth who is known to Caine. After discovering Jupiter can control the bees whose hives are growing into Stinger's safe house, Stinger tells Jupiter she is intergalactic royalty known within the Commonwealth as entitled.

Jupiter learns the human race originated on the planet Orous more than a billion years ago. Earth was discovered by the Commonwealth approximately 66 million years ago during a period known as The Expansion. The Abrasax family claimed Earth and destroyed the saurosapian civilization already living on the planet. Earth was then terraformed to make it more suitable for human habitation. A large colonial population from Orous arrives on Earth every 100,000 years. The Orous humans interbreed with the naturally evolved humans from Earth who were genetically manipulated by Abrasax. The resulting population is a 'robust stock' built to thrive on Earth and to serve Abrasax Industries' needs.

Both Caine and Stinger also explain: After the death of Seraphi Abrasax, the head of the most powerful industrial house in the Commonwealth, her children—Balem, Kalique, and Titus—have quarreled over control of Abrasax Industries and Earth. Balem took control of Abrasax Industries and most of its planets, Kalique inherited the planet Cerise, and Titus spent his inheritance on a lavish, wasteful lifestyle. None were named as Sovereign of Abrasax, instead they were styled the First, Second and Third Primary. Titus, the Third Primary, is revealed to be the one who paid for Jupiter's extraction from Earth before she could be killed by Balem, the First Primary.

Stinger also explains Caine was expelled from military service for biting the throat of an entitled, later confirmed to be Balem. Caine's bite destroyed Balem's voice. Stinger accepted blame for Caine's insubordination, however both were punished, stripped of their genetically engineered wings, and expelled from service. Stinger agrees to help Jupiter reach Orous, but she is captured by hunters sent by Balem. However, Balem's hunters were paid by Kalique, the Second Primary, to betray Balem and deliver Jupiter to Kalique's palace on Cerise.

Kalique reveals to Jupiter that she is genetically identical to Seraphi Abrasax, therefore Jupiter is Earth's rightful owner and true heir to Abrasax Industries. Kalique permits Jupiter to witness her transformation from a greying, middle-aged woman to a much younger woman using technology powered by a fluorescent white liquid, the same liquid used to payoff Balem's soldiers. Jupiter asks if Kalique and her people are vampires. Kalique says they are not, but they are the source of such legends. Kalique also explains some history of humans from Orous, their fountain of youth technology, and past mistakes using the that technolgy. But she avoids any specific details about Earth and why it's so important to the Abrasax family. Supported by the intergalactic police force, the Aegis, Caine retrieves Jupiter from Cerise and transports her to Orous. Once Jupiter claims her title as the Abrasax sovereign she would gain control of Abrasax Industries and Earth.

Orous is shown to be an overpopulated, over-built world with a corrupt and vindictive bureaucracy who the soldiers aboard the Aegis ship wish to avoid at all cost. However, Jupiter is able to navigate the bureaucrat's attempts to stall or engage in graft with help from an android advocate. The Seals and Signets director does not engage in graft, but he warns Jupiter of coming danger after applying the seal of the House of Abrasax to her wrist. Before she and Caine can return to the Aegis ship, Titus's soldiers kidnap Jupiter. They were able to enter orbit with Stinger's help who is later captured by the Aegis. Before Titus's crew depart from Orous, Caine is flushed out an airlock. He manages to activate an emergency spacesuit before he loses consciousness, but his air supply is limited to a few minutes.

Titus manipulates Jupiter into trusting him by explaining the fluorescent white liquid used to extend life is made from humans, and each container is the result of 100 humans who were euthanized and refined into what Abrasax calls RegeneX. Other families who also manufacture it give it different names, but Abrasax's RegeneX is the purest and best. Earth is a planet like many others, Titus says with disgust, used to farm humans to create RegeneX. Titus implies his life as a playboy is a ruse and he has used his inheritance to stockpile RegeneX containers which fill his ship. He has acquires other planets to prevent them from being farmed, none as large or valuable as Earth. He lies, saying he inherited those planets along with his fortune, but he has no doubt harvested them since. He also claims he wants to dismantle the RegeneX industry. However, his true plans are to disrupt the RegeneX market giving him an opportunity to eliminate his older siblings. But now that Jupiter has claimed her title as Sovereign he modifies his plan. He will marry Jupiter becoming First Primary, then by killing her and his siblings he will become Sovereign. Jupiter agrees to an arranged marriage with Titus believing he plans to return her to Earth and stop RegeneX production.

On Earth, Vladie gloats he spent Jupiter's pending donation money on a new widescreen television. He panics when he's told Jupiter didn't complete the procedure. As the family unravel the egg donation scheme, Balem's guards break into their home and kidnap them. Caine is rescued by the Aegis before he asphyxiates. He confronts Stinger who admits he cooperated with Titus to pay for a cure for his daughter's genetic disease which she developed after they moved to Earth. Caine and Stinger return to Titus's ship to extract Jupiter. Caine makes it aboard ship just as Titus and Jupiter are about to seal their marriage. She learns of Titus's plans from Caine, and she is embarrassed by how naive she is and how easily she was manipulated by him. She returns evidence to Caine proving his insubordination was provoked by Balem; evidence which was stolen by Titus. Arriving at her home, she is told by Balem's emissary, Mr. Night, her family have been taken hostage.

While jumping to Balem's refinery hidden in the Great Red Spot, the Aegis ship is tricked into flying deeper into the planet's gravity well and they fly above the cloud layer to escape. In the refinery, Balem demands Jupiter's abdication as Sovereign in exchange for the lives of Jupiter's family. Realizing Balem cannot harvest Earth or control Abrasax Industries without her permission, even if she is dead; and Balem is using Jupiter's love for her family to manipulate her, she refuses. Caine drops from orbit in a shuttle and damages the refinery's hull in the process. The refinery's machinery interacts with the gas giant's atmosphere and begins to collapse. While Balem's workers and soldiers flee, the Aegis ship moves in to rescue the Jones family. Balem attacks Jupiter and she points a gun at him given to her by Caine. Balem says she won't pull the trigger, but Jupiter shoots him in the leg.

Jupiter makes her way through the collapsing structure after falling through the floor beneath Balem's observation deck. Balem finds Jupiter and attacks her. He confesses to killing his mother after being driven mad by her. He convinced himself Seraphi wanted Balem to kill her after growing exhusted by her immortality. Jupiter realizes Balem was naive, believing his mother desired profits above all else; and he was embarrassed to learn Seraphi's ruthlessness was in service to the Abrasax family and her love for her children. Balem beat his mother and pushed her off a platform after she tried to kill Balem in self-defence, but she could not pull the trigger. Jupiter frees herself from Balem's grasp, saying she is not his mother. Balem falls to his death, in a reversal of Seraphi's death, after the platform under him gives way. Jupiter climbs to a higher platform but she falls again as the bulkheads continue to collapse around her. She is caught by Caine, and with his help Jupiter ascends through the refinery's wreckage as they attempt to reach the Aegis ship.

The Aegis ship jumps from the Great Red Spot to Earth's orbit at the last moment unsure if Caine or Jupiter made it aboard. Caine radios revealing Jupiter and he were pulled through the portal along with debris from the refinery. Jupiter's family is returned home but their memory of being kidnapped is blanked. Jupiter returns to her old life with a renewed sense of purpose. Her family later surprise her with a new telescope during dinner and she reveals she has a new boyfriend. Jupiter secretly retains ownership of the Earth and control of Abrasax Industries. She and Caine begin a secret romance.

Cast

  • Channing Tatum as Caine Wise, a genetically engineered soldier: half human and half canine, though this is not immediately visible.[14] He has a tremendously powerful sense of smell that allows him to track a gene through the universe.[15] To perform the role, Tatum wore a mouthpiece to change the shape of his lower jaw, which prevented him from closing his mouth and made it difficult to speak.
  • Mila Kunis as Jupiter Jones. Kunis describes her character as unhappy with her job and life until Caine finds her.[10]
  • Sean Bean as Stinger Apini, a "Han Solo-type character".[16] Stinger is half human and half honeybee, which gives him enhanced speed, special vision, and a high sense of loyalty. He is Caine's former comrade,[10] but lives on Earth with his daughter.[12]
  • Eddie Redmayne as Balem Abrasax, First Primary of the House of Abrasax and the eldest of the three Abrasax siblings. Balem controls the wealthiest business empire in the known universe from a gigantic refinery in the Great Red Spot of the planet Jupiter. He feels threatened by Jupiter Jones' claim to Earth and tries to stop her.[10]
  • Douglas Booth as Titus Abrasax, Third Primary of House of Abrasax and Balem's brother. Booth has described his character as "a bit of a playboy", mentioning his spaceship, as described in the script, as a cross between a Gothic cathedral and the Playboy Mansion.[10]
  • Edward Hogg as Chicanery Night[17]
  • Maria Doyle Kennedy as Aleksa, Jupiter's mother.
  • Tuppence Middleton as Kalique Abrasax, Second Primary of the House of Abrasax and Balem and Titus's sister,[10] whose motives appear to be less business-oriented than her brothers'.

  • Vanessa Kirby as Katharine Dunlevy, Jupiter's friend
  • Jeremy Swift as Vassily Bolotnikov
  • Christina Cole as Gemma Chatterjee, a cybernetic Aegis officer.

  • Samuel Barnett as Intergalactic Advocate Bob
  • David Ajala as Ibis, the leader of the hunters pursuing Jupiter and Caine.[22]
  • Ariyon Bakare as Greeghan, a hunter sent by Balem; resembling a Western dragon or the cryptid "Reptilians".

Production

Development

In 2009, Warner Bros.' president Jeff Robinov approached the Wachowskis about creating an original intellectual property and franchise. Development began two years later, with the production and visual effects teams doing pre-production work based on a first draft of the script, while The Wachowskis were shooting the future segments of Cloud Atlas.[10] The story was partly inspired by Lana's favorite book,[24] the Odyssey.[25] "It was making me super-emotional", Lana has said. "The whole concept of these almost spiritual journeys and you're changed." Another inspiration was The Wizard of Oz which Lana contrasts to the Odyssey. "Dorothy is pretty much the same at the end as she is at the beginning. Whereas Odysseus goes through such an epic shift in his identity." The Wachowskis themselves describe the plot of the film as an effort to reverse the classical science-fiction trope of the hero who is "emotionally withholding and strong and stoic". Instead, they tried to create a new form of female science-fiction hero in the space-opera genre. "We were, like, 'Can we bring a different kind of female character like Dorothy or Alice? Characters who negotiate conflict and complex situations with intelligence and empathy?' Yes, Dorothy has a protector, Toto, who's always barking at everyone. And that was sort of the origin of Caine."[26]

Production design

Producer Grant Hill and visual effects supervisor Dan Glass have noted that the Wachowskis never repeat themselves. Hill has described the design as an original take on the look of space environments, while Glass mentioned it was influenced by cities around Europe rather than science fiction touchstones. Examples include Renaissance architecture, modern glass and Gothic art.[10]

Filming

The film was a co-production between the United States' Warner Bros. Pictures and Australia's Village Roadshow Pictures, with both studios providing 40% of the budget and RatPac-Dune Entertainment the remaining 20%.[4] Roberto Malerba and Bruce Berman served as executive producers.[27] Principal photography commenced at Warner Bros. Studios, Leavesden on April 2, 2013, on an initial budget of US$130 million.[4] Filming also took place at Ely Cathedral in England.[28] The production remained in the London studio through June, then moved to various locations in Chicago, Illinois, throughout late July and August.[27] Minor reshoots to clarify plot points[29] took place in January and early May of the next year, the latter of which took place in Bilbao, Basque Country, Spain.[30] Star Channing Tatum later stated:

"Jupiter Ascending was a nightmare from the jump. It was a sideways movie. All of us were there for seven months, busting our hump. It was just tough."[31]

The opening scenes show the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao and Dancing House in Prague, both of which were designed by Frank Gehry. This was the second feature that cinematographer John Toll shot digitally, using Arri Alexas and Codex Recorders, after Iron Man 3,[32] in part due to the visual effects element.[33] Legend3D handled the stereoscopic conversion of the film, having recently integrated the Mistika post-production software into their pipeline.[34] Vision3's Chris Parks is the stereoscopic supervisor of the film.[35][36] An eight-minute-long chase sequence, code-named "Fifty-Two Part" by the film's crew, depicts Jupiter and Caine fleeing from aliens and spaceships in downtown Chicago shortly after they first meet. It was the longest sequence in the script, involving some of the film's most difficult stunts. To complete it, Kunis and Tatum had to film every day for six months.[12]

Effects

Several of the film's effects rely heavily on practical stunts instead of CGI. Tatum has noted there was minimal use of digital doubles and instead most stunts were done by the principal actors or stuntmen attempting to match the pre-vis sequences.[15][37][38][39] For the scenes of Tatum's character flying using antigravity boots, Glass has stated that his team invented a way to use stuntmen instead of doing them digitally, despite the limited available time to shoot them.[40] They created a rig of six cameras, called the Panocam, which was mounted on a helicopter and covered nearly 180 degrees of the action. During post-production, the directors could combine the overlapped filmed footage, essentially creating a camera that could swing around the action independently of the helicopter's actual flying path.[41] The technique piqued the interest of other directors who have subsequently used it in their own movies. Visual effects vendor Framestore used Vicon T40 cameras for pre-vis and motion capture purposes, the same camera system they used in the 2013 film Gravity, which was critically acclaimed for its cinematography and visual effects.[42]

Music

The film's score was composed by Michael Giacchino.[43] On June 10, 2013, Giacchino tweeted that Ludwig Wicki [de], Robert Ziegler & Tim Simonec were conducting the film's score at Abbey Road Studios in London.[44] In August, Giacchino stated: "We're actually recording all the music first, before they're even done shooting. It's been done sort of backward, and it's much more freeing doing it that way. I'm not locked down to any specific timings and what the film is doing. I can do whatever I want. It opens up a lot more possibilities."[45] The Wachowskis first used this approach during production of Cloud Atlas at the recommendation of co-director Tom Tykwer who has made all his movies this way, and have since commented they will never again make a movie without recording the music first.[46] Dancer Kyle Davis was inspired when listening to Giacchino's score for the film to create a ballet for the Pacific Northwest Ballet named "A Dark and Lonely Space" that is choreographed to Giacchino's music. The ballet, which premiered November 2, 2018, features 24 dancers that represent planets, celestial bodies, and forces of physics, and was designed as an "anthropomorphization of the birth of a planetary system."[47]

Release

The film was originally set to be released on July 25, 2014,[48] but it was later moved up to July 18, 2014.[49] On June 3, 2014, the film's release was delayed to February 6, 2015, due to poor test screenings that April and to give additional time needed to complete over 2,000 special effects shots, which ended up ballooning the final budget from $130 million to over US$210 million.[4] The film received a "secret screening" at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival which was invitation only and did not include members of the press. Variety's Ramin Setoodeh reported that clusters of seats were empty at the screening.[50]

The film was released in IMAX 3D, as was its competitor Seventh Son from Universal Pictures the same weekend. Jupiter Ascending had a surprise premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on January 27, 2015, at the Mary G. Steiner Egyptian Theatre in Park City.[50]

Reception

Box office

Jupiter Ascending grossed $47.4 million in the United States and Canada, and $136.5 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $184 million, against a budget of $176–210 million.[3][4]

The film grossed $1 million from Thursday's preview.[51] The film earned $6.4 million in its opening day, and later being forecast to open at around $18 million.[52][53] The film earned $7.6 million for its second day and $5 million on its third day,[54] for a gross of $18.4 million in its opening weekend from 3,181 theaters, an $5,776 per-theatre average.[3] It finished in third at the box office behind The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water ($55.4 million) and American Sniper ($23.3 million).[55]

Despite a disappointing North American debut, the film opened in the top spot internationally, earning US$32.5 million playing in theatres of 65 markets in other territories. Among the top markets was Russia, where the film earned a gross of US$4.7 million and topped the box office. It also opened in markets such as France (US$2.5 million), South Korea (US$2.1 million), the UK (US$2 million), Brazil (US$1.9 million), Mexico (US$1.8 million), Germany (US$1.8 million), Italy (US$1.2 million) and Spain (US$1.1 million). The film also debuted in Asian markets, bringing in US$6 million in total from Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand.[56][57] The film opened in China in March (US$23.2 million) and the opening in China took it to the top spot in the international market for the weekend.[58]

Before its release, the film had been included in the list of "The Riskiest Box Office Bets of 2015" published by screenrant.com.[59] It had been forecasted to gross between US$21–23 million in its opening weekend.[60][61][62]

Critical response

On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a rating of 28%, based on 277 reviews, with an average rating of 4.50/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Pleasing to the eye but narratively befuddled, Jupiter Ascending delivers another visually thrilling misfire from the Wachowskis."[63] On Metacritic, the film has a score of 40 out of 100, based on 40 reviews, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[64] In CinemaScore polls conducted during the opening weekend, cinema audiences gave Jupiter Ascending an average grade of "B−" on an A+ to F scale.[65]

David Edelstein of Vulture.com was highly critical of the whole film, calling it "inane from the first frame to last ... it's miraculously unmiraculous."[66] Joe McGovern of Entertainment Weekly was also critical of the film, giving it a C+, writing that it was "just another incoherent sci-fi spectacle".[67] British film critic Mark Kermode said, "Jupiter Ascending is a lot of things. Bonkers, all over the place, incoherent, preposterous, ridiculous dialogue that George Lucas would have thrown in the bin, spectacularly overripe performances. I'm not going to say it's good, but I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy it."[68]

Redmayne, who had been nominated for (and ultimately won) an Oscar the same year for his performance as Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything, received particular criticism for his performance in Jupiter Ascending, the consensus being that it was over-the-top and unintentionally silly. Kofi Outlaw of Screen Rant called Redmayne's performance "so over-the-top with his effeminate mannerisms and Bane-style whisper voice that Jupiter Ascending devolves into an absurd comedy whenever he's onscreen," and commented that "he may go home with an Oscar AND a Razzie on the same night".[69] (Redmayne did in fact "win" a Razzie Award for Worst Supporting Actor, for his performance in Jupiter Ascending.[70]) Manohla Dargis of The New York Times called Redmayne's performance "camping",[71] while Stephanie Merry of The Washington Post lambasted him for "screeching his lines" in a way that "is about as intimidating as a toddler", adding, "Unfortunately, you'll never be able to unhear the way he shrieks 'Gooooo!' to his hideous minions."[72] Redmayne himself admitted that he gave "a pretty bad performance by all accounts" in the film during a November 2018 interview with GQ.[73]

Donna Dickens of HitFix noted that the film picked up an enthusiastic following among female science fiction fans, and reported that many viewers found the film attractive for providing "the wish-fulfillment of prepubescent girls".[74] Dickens explained that where Hollywood typically portrays strong women in action films as "Arnold Schwarzenegger with boobs", Jupiter Ascending presents Kunis' character differently: "Women don't always want superhuman robots to look up to. We want to be the same klutzy nobody who is cosseted and petted and told we're special – despite all evidence to the contrary", she wrote.[74] Gavia Baker-Whitelaw of The Daily Dot had a similar perspective, praising the film for avoiding sexist jokes. Baker-Whitelaw described the film as "catnip for a certain subset of geeky, self-aware young women", adding that it "is dumb, and weird, and beautiful, and it wants you to be happy".[75]

Ignatiy Vishnevetsky of The A.V. Club described the film as "an imaginatively goofy, Rococo space opera", and opined: "It might not be as compelling a synthesis of pop philosophy and geek tastes as The Matrix, but it feels personal in the way that big-budget, effects-driven movies rarely do."[76] David Blaustein of ABC News wrote that the film "is a campy visual sci-fi spectacle that could very well become a cult classic".[77] Polygon's Susana Polo named Jupiter Ascending number 8 on the staff's list of the top 10 films of 2015, admitting that while the movie doesn't work, it is so full of ambition that "it doesn't work in such a fantastical way that it remains startlingly compelling."[78]
