Nothing
is too over the top or ostentatious for the Wachoswki’s latest crazy space
opera.
In many respects Jupiter Ascending is exactly the sort of film you’d imagine the
Wachowskis might deliver. It is unashamedly over the top, packed with a raft of
exposition and something of an interior designer’s worst nightmare. Chandeliers
on a spaceship? Ostentatious gold statues everywhere? Really? Yet buried
somewhere in the midst of this smorgasbord of film fantasy motifs is a decent
enough idea struggling to make itself heard above the aural and visual din. |
