10 Terrible Films That Are Actually Awesome

The Wachowskis are no strangers to bad movies and Jupiter Ascending is their masterpiece, a gloriously jumbled, more-or-less coherent camp classic whose plot includes Channing Tatum as a man-dog hybrid who flies through the air shooting bad guys. Imagine John Candy’s character from Spaceballs with a firearm, and you’re in the right ballpark.

Also around is Sean Bean as a beekeeper (named Stinger, obviously) whose swarm is genetically programmed to recognise royalty. When Mila Kunis learns she can control the bees, it can only mean one thing: she’s genetically identical to the deceased matriarch of a family that owns a string of planets, and is therefore Earth’s rightful owner. Obviously. No other explanation is possible.

Throw in Eddie Redmayne as a villain who wants to “harvest” Earth, add characters with names like Titus Abrasax, then sprinkle with running gun battles and you’ve a movie that audiences will still be watching in 20 years. It’ll take them that long to understand what the hell is going on.
