Critic Consensus: Pleasing to the eye but narratively befuddled, Jupiter Ascending delivers another visually thrilling misfire from the Wachowskis.

Now grown, Jupiter dreams of the stars but wakes up to the cold reality of a job cleaning other people's houses and an endless run of bad breaks.

Where were the Guardians of the Galaxy when we needed them? If only they had prevented the disastrous atrocity that is "Jupiter Ascending" from infiltrating Earth's movie theaters before it was too late!
by its second half Jupiter Ascending abandons big, crazy ideas for a default mode of repetitive action sequences, losing along the way both its distinctive weirdness and the viewer's attention.
Is Jupiter Ascending a good film? It's practically impossible to tell. For all its abundant insanity, it's never anything less than watchable.
Channing Tatum plays a flying wolfman from space, and yet this film is, somehow, boring.
Another two hours hanging out in the Wachowskis' world. There's a groovy, multicultural, pansexual vibe where all are welcome and the deliberately artificial visuals are to die for.
Jupiter Ascending is a gigantic, soulless misfire from the Wachowskis, bringing with it a nonsensical plotline and characters that are in desperate need of development.
Audience Reviews for Jupiter Ascending
Holy moly........
Super Reviewer
Oh my. Jupiter ought to have just sat down until she had a good story to tell. The story is strange and forced, albeit with nice special effects. There's little chemistry between Tatum and Kunis. Undoubtedly, this film must be Redmayne's biggest embarrassment since his performancee is so hammy and unnatural, and since it comes on the heals of "The Theory of Everything". "Jupiter Ascending" really is not very worth watching.
Super Reviewer
It gives good attention to the details of its universe and has a stunning visual design, but the plot is derivative, with an excess of dei ex machina (the handsome guy always has to save the narrow-minded lady in danger) and lame aliens who display the same cultural habits as humans.
