Jupiter Ascending Full Movie In Hindi Download 720p 387

the YA of it all grates on me quite a bit -- jupiter is so precocious and bouncy, yet also incredibly self-serious and affected. fundamentally it's not that different from something like alita: battle angel, but that film has a more compelling mixture of coming-of-age tropes by having a literal doll learning about the world she's in and us being able to learn alongside her, whereas here we're clumsily thrown into jupiter's hardscrabble life before a bunch of CGI creatures start bouncing around with cutaways to the sneering bad-guys on another planet explaining the stakes of the plot to us, so we're never really allowed to inhabit a single protagonist's perspective like in alita or even the matrix. there's a lot of screenplay busywork, and you could say, well, sure yui, but it also has the same fundamental structure in something like a new hope, right? sure, but in that film the cutaways are way less rapid, and after the beginning raid on the rebel ship you don't really have that many of them, you tend to stick with C-3PO and R2 and luke and ben kenobi and what they're going through.
not that this necessarily has to match itself to a new hope or anything, i'm not trying to be unrealistic here, i want to judge the film on its own terms, but what those terms are aren't really something that interests me -- like, so much of this is crushingly-loud laser blasts in the soundmix, formulaic shot/reverse shot conversations, an aseptically predictable three-act structure, and generic floaty CGI action featuring a protagonist who never takes the initiative and whose main role throughout most of this is to stand around and listen to several sequential exposition dumps -- the fascinating way the matrix trilogy engaged with neo's personal agency and sense of destiny is basically forgotten here. in those films, everything revolved around whether or not he had a choice, but jupiter jones is a totally reactive character, she never has to make any choice that's critical to the narrative, the whole picture has her being rescued or chased or lectured at, it really is standard disney princess shit that we've seen a thousand times before, i don't really buy that this is some feminist reassessment of a typically masculine genre, it's pretty straightforward as far as these things go. most of the cast doesn't make much of an impression -- i've never liked mila kunis as an actress and this doesn't do her any favors, while channing tatum is forced to be uber-serious when his greatest strength as a performer is how his relaxed humor can really ground a film. sean bean is the only member of the cast who comes off well, but he's typically the best part of any production he's involved in anyway.
what i do like about the film after this third watch is the incorporation of grey alien-lore into this grander space opera context, the idea of them implanting screen-memories onto the denizens of earth and essentially being worker-bees for other more advanced entities, that reflects a lot of IRL UFO/paranormal lore and shows a clear knowledge of such things on the sisters part, that's pretty cool. the rest of the film gets into more stereotypical new-ager territory about reincarnated royal galactic houses and ancient astronauts killing the dinosaurs and that kinda shit, some project blue-beam stuff about earth being a prison-planet commodity crop for harvesting genetic immortality by these higher beings (which may or not be true depending on how paranoid you are) and hey, all this is a metaphor for capitalism and immigration, or something? your mileage may very, and i do give the wachowskis credit for slipping some of this weirdness into the hollywood mainstream at the time where everything was about to be total consumed by apoliticized franchise goop and tasteless streaming garbage, this definitely isn't that and comes across as a lot more special today than it probably did at the time.
i don't know, i don't hate this as much as i used to simply because i'm more attuned to the genre itself and i have an immense respect for the sisters and their aesthetic goals, but this feels like the most half-baked of their projects, the one most reliant on what they're riffing on, a little too cute by half. you can definitely tell the film was pitched to warner executives as star wars + YA, and it never succeeds at being a complete sum of those parts, but it does try, and the earnest filmmaking that the wachowskis cultivate is hard to hate, even if it doesn't work at all.
my final takeway: this made me appreciate rebel moon much more than i already considerably did. snyder is profoundly influenced by the wachowski sisters, so that's only fitting, but yeah, his mytho-poetic approach works a lot better for this type of material. hell, he even possesses more feminist bonafides with work like sucker punch than the wachowskis do in jupiter ascending, despite them being women themselves -- and hell, as directors of action spectacle, a work like jupiter shows how much of the matrix trilogy's splendour was shouldered by yuen woo-ping's choreography. not that the action here is the worst you've ever seen, but by god does it feel like dollar-store version of the audacious formalism that snyder and lucas are able to pull off, there's just no contest. i give kudos to the intentions of the wachowskis, they always have their heart in the right place and i do think they ace it most of the time, but i don't think i'm ever going to be on board with jupiter ascending when i could just watch rebel moon or dune instead -- even enthusiastic auteurism can't save this from boring me to tears. no bother; they have plenty of other masterpieces.
