Rotten Tomatoes: 26% There comes a time in every stuttering film-maker's career where you have to firmly accept that they're just not very good. Unfortunately for everyone who has endured their last five films, that point for the Wachowskis didn't come imemdiately after The Matrix. In the space of those films, the directing siblings have gone the way of Tim Burton: pumping in so much visual imagination that there's no room for restraint, or subtlety or substance in plot or characters. What remains in the case of Jupiter Ascending is a heavily ornate, garish monstrosity that is too silly to even be considered enjoyably dumb. Jupiter Ascending is a child's painting - a sloppy mess of awful characters that Warner Bros begrudgingly posted on their fridge (but only in the graveyard February slot). And while there's something delightfully kitsch about Eddie Redmayn'e performance, to see him reduced to this sort of slop after The Theory Of Everything is a morale gut punch.
