The Wachowskis definitely think big and Jupiter Ascending is no exception, but they can't seem to let their grand designs take a back seat to the story they wish to tell. Just imagine the mumbo-jumbo of the two Matrix sequels, stuffed into the very first film and yet it still ran for only 136 minutes. Think about everything that would have been cut. Neo wouldn't have even questioned the rabbit hole, there would have been no time to remove tracking devices or learn Kung fu. Get it out of here, we need to explain the key maker, excise the twins and somehow make sense of the Architect. Ergo, we are concurrently left with a movie where some details may seem pertinent, yet the overall feature is most irrelevant. In this respect, Jupiter Ascending is essentially a trilogy of films with the soul of the film gutted, packing what remains into 127 minutes...
