Jupiter Ascending
You have to hand it to Lana and Andy Wachowski: they don’t do things by halves. Jupiter Ascending takes the classic ‘Cinderella’ fairy tale and blows it up into a big, Sci-Fi space adventure.
Mila Kunis plays Jupiter Jones, a Russian immigrant in modern-day Chicago whose workaday life takes an unexpected turn when she becomes an assassination target for scenery-shredding Shakespearean psycho Eddie Redmayne, the universe’s premier power-broker.
Whisked to safety by hired hunter Channing Tatum (part wolf, part man, all beefcake) and his amazing anti-grav boots, Jupiter learns that she is the genetic reincarnation of the Queen of the Universe, a title which grants her infinite wealth and the power.
Sure, it’s one mad mess from start to finish, crammed with pretty much everything, including flying dinosaur sidekicks, but you’ll come out smiling. Catch it on 3D at IMAX Kenya. Rating: 8/10.
