"Jupiter Ascending" is a sad story. Not because of the plot. That one is decidedly dark at its core, but the actual events unfolding are more or less lighthearted action. No, it's a sad story because of what happened. It's a big budget Sci-Fi movie by the Wachowski sisters, unrelated to any existing IP and based solely on their crazyly imaginary minds. Unfortunately, it's not good, and that's a shame. As a mini-tragedy inside this bigger waste, it stars Channing Tatum in its leading role (alongside Mila Kunis), and I'm not quite certain his career survived this hit. If Jupiter Ascending had been a smash, maybe Tatum's career would have profited as well. Who knows?
