So the news just broke that this spectacular looking science fiction epic has been suddenly shifted from its July release date to 6 february 2015! The official story is to have more time to work on the FX, however i think it's really because WB does not want it to get lost in the shuffle of this summer.

I saw an epic trailer for it before Edge of Tomorrow, this looks so fantastic. Hope the 3D is good too. They attempted to show the trailer in 3D but messed it up and we just got a slight double image. Hope the February 2015 release date will work for the movie.

I was looking forward to this so bad, im pissed I have to wait another 8 months.

After the financial disaster that was Cloud Atlas was, WB had no choice. The preview screenings have been getting worse feedback than Cloud Atlas.

Cloud Atlas was a great film, but just not marketable to the general public that needs to be fed a story in a linear pattern, without too much deep thought.

Exactly. I loved both of those as well. But I'm scared because this means the studio might decide to tinker with the film and start cutting scenes or adding more crap to make it fit better with test audiences. That's rarely a good thing.

Bummer to hear this has been bumped to 2015 just like Seventh Son 3D was also. I was definitely going to check this out in the hopes of another V for Vendetta or Matrix style movie from the Wachowski twins.
Thanks for the info Levcore. I have to wonder who they are bringing in for these test audiences? Are they people who actually WANT to see the movie, or just people who want to see any movie for free? Big difference in the reactions they might expect. Some people who aren't into this genre of movie won't like it no matter how good it might have been. But they spend a lot on these films, so if they feel 2015 Winter is a safer bet, then so be it.

2015 will be an insane year for sci fi, fantasy action movies though, with Star Wars, Avengers 2, etc on the way.

Speaking of Speed Racer, that would be great in 3D.

In theaters February 6, 2015

• Warner Bros. plans to release Jupiter Ascending in IMAX.

'Jupiter Ascending' To be Wachowskis' First 3D Film:

Jupiter Ascending is set in a universe where humans are quite low in the evolutionary hierarchy. There, Mila Kunis plays an immigrant cleaning lady who is targeted for assassination by the Queen of the Universe because she possesses the same genetic make-up and therefore poses a threat to the Queen's rule.

The Matrix directors return to sci-fi :

Jupiter Ascending is shot in 3D, a first for the Wachowskis, who are known for their visual ingenuity.

Saw this on Friday. The 3D was so-so...mild or medium with some stronger but not very strong 3D in many scenes. The most impressive 3D shot was not of action but of some plants/flowers and bees. The 3D was adequate for the most part but not in any way great

As for the movie itself it felt like a sci fi chick flick at times and at other times like a great space epic. The jokes and humor fell flat along with much of the romance but the large scope of the movie and the frequent action kept me entertained. 2.5 / 5

[mseeley]

I saw this in Imax 3d yesterday and while I left feeling very confused about what I thought of the film, I couldn't shake off a feeling of awe of what I had witnessed and I couldn't stop thinking about the film all day at work.

The 3d was absolutely amazing in my opinion, with high medium to strong 3d frequently throughout. The aerial battle/chase in Chicago at the beginning is one of the greatest action sequences ever made and the 3d really made me feel like I was flying and it made my stomach churn a bit because the 3d was that immersive and strong in that sequence.

There's so much to talk and debate about the film that I feel like I need another viewing and I do want to see it again. The Wachowski's may not have their Matrix magic back, but they still put on a hell of a show and make you think about the wondrous storytelling possibilities of cinema

Good to know, thanks Suntory. I'll put that wish to rest if that's their feeling about bringing back the Matrix.

The one thing I will say is that the 3D is quite good. Too bad the movie is so terrible, I won't be picking this up on 3D Blu.

Sorry to hear that but the 3D sounds hopeful. What would make the movie better?

Thanks for the 3D review Gamermwm. I remember that shot from the 3D trailer, with her in front of a house and flowers flying into the air. I was hoping the whole movie's 3D would look that good.

Thanks. The action sounds promising.
Did Sean Bean have a small role?

For a supporting role it was decently beefy.

[Show spoiler]and for once Sean Bean lives!!! Lmao

[Zivouhr]

Thanks!

Glad to hear he has a decent role. Yeah, Bean's survival rate is always an issue in his movies. That chase scene sounds good and the special effects look good from what I've seen.

How was the main arrogant villain?

I think the story just isn't very good, it starts as sci fi and then goes into a almost Harry Potter type sequence, then to a lame love story, then to a finale that you don't even really give a crap about.

Also Kunis, she wasn't a good pick here. I think she is very limited as an actress and she doesn't even come close to pulling this movie off. Tatum, he doesn't seem too interested and is just picking up a pay check. There is a chunk of the film where they got him shirtless and he isn't even in great shape here. Someone in back of me said, put a shirt on, he didn't even bother to get in great shape like Magic Mike, so why have him running around with no shirt on.

Redmayne does the best with what he has to work with but that wasn't much. Sean Bean is pretty good and has a decent size role. Both of these guys can deliver but they just don't have much to work with here.

Honestly, the Wachowskis missed the boat here big time. Again, other than the 3D looking pretty terrific, this is a worthless movie.

Who knows, after the financial failure of this film, Cloud Atlas and Speed Racer, they may have burnt up all the clout they had with Warner Brothers. Not too sure they'll finance another large film without the promise of another Matrix film. Either that or they'll need to go to another studio that will take them.

This brings up a good point. People are quick these days to dismiss a film entirely, based on a single complaint or a weak aspect of the film. Granted, a weak plot is certainly a pretty big hurdle for a film to overcome, but can't people appreciate a film for what it does have to offer? Films are a combination of lots of elements - cinematography, lighting, visual effects, acting, story...most critics are saying this film should be skipped - yet those same critics are saying the effects and action scenes are amazing. So then can't people just appreciate the film on a visual level? Films are meant to get a response out of people and create an emotion. Why can't a film do that based on its visuals alone? I think any fan of sci-fi action or visual effects would be missing out if they skipped this. I read tons of bad reviews for the Total Recall remake, and while the film wasn't as good as the original (imo), the effects were stunning, and the world it created was worth the price of admission. Sadly, I skipped that one based on the reviews. I regretted skipping it once I saw it on blu-ray.

Come to think of it, Cloud Atlas and Speed Racer both got terrible reviews also, and both of those were also visually stunning, and I regret missing those in the theatre. Cloud Atlas had some interesting concepts, and Speed Racer was just a ton of fun.

[Suntory_Times]

^ It is the overall impact. One thing if enjoyable enough can ruin a film for myself. In particular the number of larger budget films with increasingly horrible writing is worrisome. Sure some are still fantastic and have good writing (edge of tomorrow, interstellar) but the number that aren't simply bad but embarrassing to a degree that is scary (tmnt, in particular tas2, tf age of extinction [though it does seem as if some good ideas where destroyed by mr bay and the short schedule it had], divergent and so on) and it only seems to be getting worse.

Don't get me wrong their can be flaws in good films, but some flaws for some are to much to overlook. It may seem minor to others but taste is a funny beast.

The thing that interests me the most about Jupiter Ascending is Eddie Redmayne as the villain. A very under rated actor.

Yes he's so underrated he won the Golden Globe for Best Actor and is front runner for the Oscar in the same category....

The machines now are in a position whereby they can't loose the war, they have all the power. As they needed help Neo came to an agreement with them that all anomalies (those aware of something being wrong) in the matrix would be freed and allowed to live in zion. Which means humanity can continue with individuals happy, the anomalies don't have to live a lie, and those who are unaware get to live far better lives in the matrix.

I really don't think the trilogy needs to be continued and would be disappointed if it was.

SPOILER:
I see what you're saying, though the humans who chose freedom at the end of III, no doubt would want more, and that is where they could free the new baby humans who grow up and again would become aware and unwilling to be controlled by robots, since the cycle continues. Then start a new war to re-infest humans all over the earth like a plague (according to Agent Smith anyway).

I'd say most fans who didn't like part II and III were probably expecting more brilliant revelations as the first film offered, but when that didn't happen and it was just an extension of the ideas already given in part I, they wrote the sequels off partly because of that.

Well said, Mar3o!

Movies are mostly for entertainment first, so if they entertain, then mission accomplished, as long as the audience knows what it's getting into when going to see a movie based on a trailer.
Expectations can often get in the way of enjoying a movie, so best to go in with low expectations and try to have fun with what's offered if a fan of the genre, as time is short enough and a 2 hour movie is 2 hours of life gone. I know I've gone in with certain expectations based on trailers, only to be very disappointed it wasn't the movie the trailer was suggesting it to be.

Some big plot holes, character inconsistencies or story oversights can be very distracting though, so I can understand why it may upset some and take them out of the movie. At the same time, certain things can still be enjoyed despite the flaws.
Kind of like when a great movie up to that point has a bad ending. Most people can't get the bad ending out of their head, and write off the whole movie as a result. If given a choice, a person wouldn't write off a good life if at the end they died of a heart attack, would they? The ending doesn't always have to be good for it to be a good story.

Making a movie is no easy task, but it still has to entertain its target audience as best as it can in writing, imagery, sound, acting, etc for the genre it's in and the film's intentions. As critics of movies, it's important to offer what could have been done better and why beyond just saying it wasn't good, and hope for improvements from the filmmakers involved and others learning from it.


On topic, I will hopefully see this movie by the weekend. The trailers look promising, though I'll go in with low expectations and hope for the best.

[film11]

I actually think that SPEED RACER would be a better 3D movie than the Matrix flicks.
