Take
a little of Cinderella, first seen cleaning toilets, add her prince or
even better put in some DC Comics Superman who can’t fly--well he lost
his wings--but does have floating boots that light up and help him skate
all over the planetary system. Be sure to have a Lois Lane/Superman
flying scene. Oh yes give this guy some pointed ears like Spock fro Star
Trek and make sure he leads battle after battle after battle after
battle from Star Wars
Never hurts to throw in some King Lear
and/or Games of Thrones. When things get too hectic slow it down--very
slow--and add a nonsensical love story. Here and there give the
Cinderella/toilet cleaner/alien in Chicago a wise crack which would be
funny in any movie but this one. Oh yes let’s not forget to throw in
some Speilberg’s E.T.s and Lucas mutants.
Directors/screenwriters
Lana and Andy Wachowski seem to have their second bomb in a row, after
“Cloud Atlas”, and “Jupiter Ascending” is a $175 million seemingly
unrecoverable mistake.
At one time special effects made a
movie-goer’s jaw drop but now they have become such a part of various
genres they really don’t have the effect they had and in a movie such as
this where they as wall to wall and constantly repeated is almost
becomes laughable if not boring.
Channing Tatum showed he is a
first grade actor in “”Foxcatcher” while Mila Kunis earned her drama
stripes in “The Black Swan”. Sean Bean has received several acting
honors in his career while Gugu Mbatha-Raw showed her versatility last
year in “Belle” and “Beyond The Lights”. Here’s hoping no Oscar voters
will see Eddie Redmayne in this film or they may punish him when it
comes to voting!
There are many supporting actors in the film who
will probably forget to put this movie on their resumes which is
understandable. The music is annoying and/or unforgettable while some of
the costumes even Cher or Lady GaGa wouldn’t wear.
One
suggestion, if you feel you have to see it, see it in a movie theatre as
the only thing it has going for it is the first time they show a
special effect.
Ending on a positive note I want a pair of Tatum’s floating boots, that light up, so I can go air skating up to visit you!
