CGiii Comment

The good news is...it's not as bad as they say...

Saying that - it's a pretty bad result for its staggering budget - $176,000,000 no less!

Very little of that money went into script development...

Earth is a farm - we've never heard that one before!

Redmayne does a camp Voldemort...there are a couple of campy robots, Tatum supports a golden goatee, stuck on with sticky-back plastic - the rest is a series of staggering visuals with dialogue straight out of the doldrums.

The(ir) Blurb...

Jupiter Jones 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 Wise, 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.
