(2015) (Mila Kunis, Channing Tatum) (PG-13)
- QUICK TAKE:
- Sci-Fi: A lowly Chicago maid who hates her life discovers that she's the genetically reincarnated matriarch of a royal family that owns most of the universe and now wants her dead.
- PLOT:
- Jupiter Jones (MILA KUNIS) is a Russian immigrant who was brought to America as an infant and now works as a maid with her mother and other family members. She hates her life, but soon has a change of heart when extraterrestrial aliens attempt to kill her. They nearly succeed, but Jupiter is saved by half-wolf, half-man Caine Wise (CHANNING TATUM), a so-called skyjacker who's been sent by a universal royal, Titus (DOUGLAS BOOTH), to find and retrieve her.
It seems that she's the genetically reincarnated matriarch of a royal family that owns most of the universe, and Titus and his siblings, Balem (EDDIE REDMAYNE) and Kalique (TUPPENCE MIDDLETON) are quite interested in Jupiter, what with their mother having recently perished. In short, they don't want her messing with their plans that involve a myriad of planets they separately own, including Earth. When Caine figures that out, he seeks out the help of his former military commander, Stinger (SEAN BEAN), with whom he had a falling out in the past.
As Jupiter tries to soak all of this in, Caine does what he can to protect her from the others and help her take her rightful place on the royal thrown, overseeing the universe and its inhabitants.
- WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT?
- If they're fans of Kunis, Tatum or the directorial works of the Wachowskis (who made "The Matrix" movies), they might be interested. That also holds true for those who might be drawn to the sci-fi spectacle shown in the ads.
- WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: PG-13
- For some violence, sequences of sci-fi action, some suggestive content and partial nudity.
