Jupiter Ascending

This movie was GREAT. Easily the most fun I've had at the movies since PACIFIC RIM. This was clearly a movie made by people who liked making it (from the bones right on up. I'm listening to the soundtrack right now and Giacchino did a fabulous job), and it's beautiful and ridiculous and FUN.
I do feel that they realized they weren't going to make a trilogy, so they crammed a trilogy into one movie instead, but I don't think that detracts from the film at all (except I TOTALLY WOULD HAVE LOVED A TRILOGY, OBVIOUSLY, BECAUSE: SPACE PRINCESS). I would watch 10 sequels, though. Or 10 10 prequels. OR ALL OF THE ABOVE. Because: SPACE PRINCESS.
I also feel it was very self-aware (there's a bit where Jupiter keeps waking up in new clothes, and it makes her angry, so at one point she specifically requests to change herself, while she's awakes, and all the characters around her are all "Yeah, we were jerks earlier and could have handled that better!").
Also, she, like, LEARNED and stuff, and even though it was her third day in space by the end, she managed to 1. hold it together under great stress, and 2. use a pipe to great personal advantage while affecting her own rescue.
Also: SPACE PRINCESS. I really cannot say that enough times. Because this movie was beautiful and nutty and I have no real opinions wrt Channing Tatum, but I have very strong feelings about Sean Bean and, just, THIS MOVIE, YOU GUYS.
I will buy it and plan viewing parties and there will be themed snacks and costumes and what have you and IT WAS JUST SO GREAT.
