The real question is; how long does Sean Bean last before he is killed in this one?

LOL! I think his contracts all say he must die in every project he acts in. :)

Yeah, I woke up really early (mind racing about work) and I couldn't get back to sleep!  Getting into a crunch time.  I have to think of ways to clear my mind at night if I wake up like that.  Need a jedi mind trick..  ;)

Pete get a treadmill.
Nothing like an hour run in the middle of the night to clear your head. :)

Went to see this today and enjoyed it. Nothing real deep, just a fun, space fantasy type of movie. Good popcorn type movie. As you can see below...

I like the first part of this interview where Lana talks about writing something original for a movie...

Not getting very good reviews.  I'll still see it I think.

As I always say, see it yourself and decide.
Title: Re: "Jupiter Ascending" - 2014 film
Post by: Bromptonboy on February 15, 2015, 10:25:12 AM
I will see it - since I want to encourage new Sci Fi.  Mila has NOTHING to do with this decision..

Saw it this afternoon with my daughter and we loved it!  We had a great discussion on the way home from the theater.

Glad you liked it Mark.  I know some people aren't enjoying this movie, but I had fun watching it.

I should hit it this weekend.

Me and my wife finally got to see this. I really liked it but I don't think she enjoyed like I did. Jupiter has always been my favorite planet (if you can have such a thing) and to see a current version of it on a big movie screen was totally awesome! I just thought it looked beautiful on that movie screen! And at least now I know what the big red spot is for.  ;D

This will be a must buy on blu-ray.

You should check out Piers Anthony's Tyrant Of Jupiter series then.  :)

Never got a chance to see this in the theater.  Will pay to catch in on demand with FIOS.

Just watched this (finally) last night.  It was good, but a bit confusing.  Looked like a good story line, wish they had pulled back a bit on the over the top action and concentrated more on the story line.  But I would watch a sequel.  :)

Pete you are slowly catching up on your movies.  I thought this movie was fun and deserved a wider audience.

Post by: WillEagle on May 28, 2016, 06:07:24 PM
I would go see a sequel in a minute but I don't think it did well enough to get one. Too bad.
I did end up getting it at Christmas so it is in my collection.
