10 AMAZING Trailers That Sold Bad Movies
9. Jupiter Ascending
Sci-fi is a genre is hard to get right but when executed well the effects and ideas can be awe-inspiring. Unfortunately for Jupiter Ascending (2015) nearly everything about this film is bad.
Looking at the trailer we see Mila Kunis discovering she is a galactic princess who must save the earth. Whilst this is far-fetched, this fact becomes hidden behind the beautiful sets, fight scenes and impressive cast. The closing shot asks the viewer to 'expand your universe' inviting you into what appears to be a whole new world of possibility.
This falls flat pretty quickly once you actually start watching the film. From bad dialogue to an exposition heavy meandering plot, Jupiter Ascending feels like it should have been campy fun if only it didn't take itself so seriously.
