We watched “Jupiter Ascending” the other day. I hadn’t heard of it but it came up on a list of visually stunning movies that you may have missed, or something like that. We agreed that it was mostly vapid. The fight scenes were basically the same fight scene over and over again. I didn’t really care about any of the characters. The main characters mumbled their words and I could hardly understand what they were saying, not that it really mattered. It wasn’t realistic; to just drop a regular earthling into that universe would not have been easy. Â Basically it just wasn’t very good. 2 stars.
But there was one concept that a character spoke that really stuck with me and it was this (not a direct quote): In a universe where you had access to any resource you wanted, the most valuable commodity is time.
That is an interesting premise, and I liked the world they created with the movie.
The bureaucracy of joining that universe, the pettiness of people, even fantastically wealthy. And it was visually a pleasing movie.
