“Jupiter Ascending” opened in theaters Feb. 6 and sat at No. 3 in the box office for its opening weekend.

Despite the exciting action sequences, I would have to call this flick a bust.

Sure, it had originality, but there were some serious plot holes. The movie did not explain the whys of many things and just did things that did not make much sense to the viewers.

The movie is supposed to tell the story of a girl, Jupiter (Mila Kunis), who is the reincarnation of an alien queen. Why is she the reincarnation of this dead queen? I’m not sure even the writers know why, but they plowed on through the story.

Hunters are hired by the children of this queen for various reasons, some to kill her and others to simply retrieve her. All of these hunters seem to be of different origin, but audiences are not let in on where they come from or even why they are hunters, leaving us with only the most superficial of characters.

One of these hunters (Channing Tatum) saves her from being killed by these “keepers” who are sent to identify her and kill her by the primary heir (Eddie Redmayne) of the aforementioned dead queen.

Then to get even stranger, the police of this great kingdom are working against the ruling party. This does not make much sense seeing as they should be working for them.

Have I lost you yet?

To sum it up, the movie is a twisted tale of an alien kingdom that kills off planets for eternal life. Even without some serious plot holes, this would still be a very, very strange movie.

I don’t think I would recommend this movie to anyone, even Channing Tatum fans, because, ladies, he doesn’t look too human in this movie, let alone cute.

Overall, I would give this movie a one and a half out of five stars, and only because the actors do a splendid job with what little plot line there is.
