Jupiter Ascending

Can we all just agree that the Wachowskis are a one-hit-wonder directing duo?

This news just broke.

I can buy that the effects for this movie weren't completed, but, given their track record, could this have been the actions of a nervous studio who is losing faith in the people who gave them The Matrix?

To be honest, Jupiter Ascending looks like The Matrix formula replacing robots and Reeves with aliens and Kunis. I'm just not interested in this film at all.

I wouldn't say the Matrix is the Wachowski's only good movie or even that good of a film but maybe I'm just weird. I hadn't heard of JA until now but pushing it to February doesn't sound like good news since that's generally where blockbusters go to die. Still Mina Kunis is a lot more fun to watch than Keanu Reeves so that's something.

I thought this would of had a summer slot if im honest but being pushed back to Feb is worrying. I do like the look of this though so hopefully it will be a decent watch.

I remember watching Bound years ago and not being impressed. I've not watched Cloud Atlas. It's sitting on my shelf from Netflix and has been for about 2 weeks...

One hit wonder? Heck no.

Cloud Atlas is easily one of my favorite sci-fi flicks.
