10 2015 Movies That Are Destined To Disappoint You

3. Jupiter Ascending

Quite how anyone can be even cautiously optimistic about the Wachowski's latest sci-fi spectacle is, frankly, insane. Here's a film so dense in self-gratifying mythology and over-egged CGI it feels like it's been brought to us from the turn of the millennium. Which it kinda is, given that's where the director's appear to be living. Pixar aren't still riding the success of Toy Story 2, neither is David Fincher sitting pretty on Fight Club's cult legacy, yet the Wachowskis remain known solely as the duo who brought the world The Matrix. The sibling team haven't done anything in the proceeding sixteen years to warrant a $175 million bank-roll for a brand new property (the closest they've came to quality was Cloud Atlas, which was as much Tom Tykwer's film as it was their's), making this all very unpromising. M. Night Shyamalan is the only other director working today based on having a hit in 1999 (The Sixth Sense), and that isn't a comparison anybody wants to have on their name. The biggest damn on the film's hopes is the release date, which was moved from July 2014 to slap bang in the purgatory of February 2015 at the last minute. Allegedly done to allow time for the numerous effects shots to be finished, willingly sticking a film here shows a complete lack of faith, hoping it'll slip by without becoming too much of an embarrassment.
