13 Awful Movies With 1 Awesome Scene
13. The Chicago Chase - Jupiter Ascending
The Awful Movie: The Wachowskis' infamous $175 million sci-fi flop failed to make much interest out of Mila Kunis playing a toilet cleaner who teams up with Channing Tatum's spacefaring man-dog in order to claim her intergalactic throne.
It looks nice and all, but the plot is borderline-incomprehensible, most of the actors seem just as confused as the audience, and Eddie Redmayne's scenery-chewing, Razzie-winning performance as the big bad truly has to be seen to be believed.
The Awesome Scene: Tatum and Kunis' characters flee from alien spaceships in downtown Chicago, with Tatum's thruster-boots allowing him to bob and weave between skyscrapers during a gloriously over-the-top five-minute escape sequence full of explosions and death-defying high-wire action.
It's one of the most visually accomplished scenes the Wachowskis have ever directed, and evidently belongs in a much better film.
