15 Worst Movies Of 2015 (So Far)
3. Jupiter Ascending
Rotten Tomatoes: 25%
In the end, Jupiter Ascending is what happens when you take the fairground wooziness of Speed Racer and then take inspiration from everything the Star Wars prequels did wrong.
And with that, The Wachowskis have gone full Tim Burton, populating their films with so much imagination that there's no space left for story or relatable characters or any real substance at all.
The warning signs were there when Warner Bros chose to drop this sci-fi "epic" into the dead air month of February: surely they should have had more confidence in a $170m blockbuster?
When the film was released, the trepidation was immediately justified: not only is Jupiter Ascending a sloppy mess of epic proportions, it's also so vainly self-assured that you begin to suspect that the Matrix film-makers have completely lost the ability to self-analyse.
