movie review - Jupiter Ascending

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2016.04.15

As much as I like Mila Kunis and suspect she deserves a break for being on Family Guy for so long, this movie was a troubled project by the (now) sisters that made the "Matrix" movies. A beautiful young woman cleans toilets for a living but is found by her people and goes off on a space adventure in which she saves the day only to be dumped back on Earth washing toilets again. There was something about bees that seemed more clever than it turned out to be. Better luck next time, Mila.

Not recommended.
