By Bob Bloom “Jupiter Ascending” is embarrassingly bad. It’s a mediocre work from the brother-sister tandem of Andy and Lana Wachowski. The film is unfocused; it bounces around like a runaway comet. The storyline, which has possibilities, contains performances that vary from flat and uninspired to hammy enough to necessitate extra mustard. This unimpressive opus is a messy combination of space opera and allegorical fable about capitalism and consumerism.
