Jupiter Ascending*          

(US/Australia 2015)                                                   

A girl born under the stars aligned with Jupiter is the genetic heir to its kingdom, from which a power struggle ensues.
Imaginative but semi-coherent fantasy, with the film makers once again getting too carried away with their world, rushing along with the narrative before the audience has a chance to take it in and before the characters have become sympathetic enough. In other hands it might have been a notable addition to the sci-fi cycle; as it is, just another cult item.
