JUPITER ASCENDING Ascends To Blu-ray June 2nd!
Jupiter Ascending is likely the most polarizing film of 2015’s first quarter. Nobody went to see it and a lot of those that did, didn’t really care for it. Personally, as a fan of the Wachowskis, it was one I was anticipating regardless of whether or not it was delayed. Was it a good or great film? No, not really and its admittedly a bit of a mess. There was plenty to behold in it and appreciate, and it does entertain (I particular dug Drew McWeeny’s review of it over at HitFix). For me, I’d rather take the ambitious/noble failure and film that just goes for it over something mediocre, safe or average any day of the week. I’ll remember and take with me things both good and bad from Jupiter Ascending while forgetting films of the other ilk. Jordan Grout had the best defense of this science fiction extravaganza when it came out stating “How can this movie be the worst? It has freaking dinosaurs flying spaceships!” Its coming to Blu-ray where I’m sure more will peak their curiosity and it will either continue to be hated or find itself the beginning of cult status. We’ll see. For now, check out the release announcement and details by scrolling down below.
“A completely original space epic….”

SYNOPSIS
Jupiter Jones (Kunis) was born under a night sky, with signs predicting that she was destined for great things. Now grown, Jupiter dreams of the stars but wakes up to the cold reality of a job cleaning other people’s houses and an endless run of bad breaks. Only when Caine (Tatum), a genetically engineered ex-military hunter, arrives on Earth to track her down does Jupiter begin to glimpse the fate that has been waiting for her all along—her genetic signature marks her as next in line for an extraordinary inheritance that could alter the balance of the cosmos.
