Amidst all of that, there is a love story between Jupiter and Caine that just feels tacked on because the characters have such flimsy connections to each other that it only serves to weaken them. Bees indicate that Jupiter is a queen, they go on a journey where each of the kids tries to emotionally manipulate Jupiter in some way, and eventually, it comes down to Balem v Jupiter for the future of the Earth. However, Caine Wise was hired by hot son Titus to grab Jupiter instead. Balem is very whispercore unhappy about this and wants Jupiter to be killed in order to prevent her from attaining the title because Earth is super financially important to the alien world.

The former queen wrote her future self into her will, which makes Jupiter the legal owner of Earth.

Jupiter Ascending is about a young, undocumented Russian immigrant named Jupiter Jones who happens to be the reincarnation of the matriarch of a royal alien family made up of three shitty kids: Balem, Kalique, and Titus, who form the House of Abrasax. However, somehow, it is the relationship between Jupiter and Caine that stands out as the most ridiculous aspect of the film.Īnd yes, I am putting that over the scene with the bees. She has elements of Cinderella, the Chosen One, and an action heroine rolled into one, with her love interest being the wolf-human hybrid warrior Caine Wise (Channing Tatum). Jupiter Jones (Mila Kunis) has the name of a comic book character, played by Hollywood’s favorite cool girl. The film has majesty and an almost fairytale-like narrative journey. In a lot of the queer and female spaces, it is quite beloved despite the messy aspects of it, and upon giving it a proper watch, I could see why. Jupiter Ascending has always gotten a mixed reaction from audiences. Over the long weekend, I watched the Wachowskis’ 2015 space opera Jupiter Ascending fully for the first time.
